Jenn and Brandon Aubrey made their relationships public in the year 2016. Jenn was a part of the lacrosse team. However, their love of sports was a point of commonality for them.

How did Jenn and Brandon Aubrey meet?
Reportedly Jenn and Brandon Aubrey met during their schooling years at Notre Dame and made their relationship public in 2016. Brandon used to play for the soccer team and the couple had a superimposable point of interest which was sport. Jenn used to be a part of the girl’s lacrosse team. This might have been the reason that made their bond stronger.
In a very close-knit ceremony on January 4, 2019, the couple tied their knots. The celebrity couple had been on a roller coaster ever since, experiencing both highs and lows. Soon after their marriage, Jenn underwent a complex brain surgery. Fans had overflown them with wishes and prayers. Brandon also took to Instagram to address his fans.
Jenn Aubrey was the reason behind Brandon’s NFL career
Incredibly, before undergoing such a crucial surgery, Jenn Aubrey convinced Brandon to expand the spectrum of his potential and try his luck in the NFL. Now the player who has the longest first-quarter field goal never had given a thought of playing professional football in the NFL. Indeed he was a successful soccer player but the NFL bestowed Brandon with paramount success.
The story goes such, that on being released from his duties at the soccer team Bethlehem Steel FC in 2018, he thought of using his Notre Dame degree to pursue software engineering. But while watching an NFL game in 2019, he saw a goal missed by a placekicker. To this, his wife Jenn Aubrey said,” You could do that.”
Brandon took it in no casual fashion. He then practiced very hard with a former Mississippi State kicker and coach Brian Egan. He first joined the USFL with the Steels in 2022. Finally, the NFL welcomed him in July 2023 and joined the Dallas Cowboys. Since then his winning streak has never ended, all thanks to Jenn’s extrinsic motivation to the player.
