Meet Eagles' star quarterback Jalen Hurts and his family, including his wife Bryonna "Bry" Burrows

Averion Hurts, Sr. is the head football coach at Channelview High School near Houston. All three of his children attended the school, and he coached his two sons, Averion Jr. and Jalen.

"I always talk about how impactful it was on my life, being a coach's kid," Jalen told GQ Sports in 2021. "Football is something that's deeply rooted into my family."

Meanwhile, his mother, Pamela, is a school counselor who said she knew her son would be a professional athlete from a young age.

She's especially proud of Hurts' all-woman management team. "They rock," she recently told Houston's Fox26. "Sometimes women don't get the opportunities that men get."

Jalen credited his mother and management team for inspiring him to wear cleats with the words "Women Empowerment" in 2021. The shoes were part of the NFL's "My Cause, My Cleats" initiative. Hurts also showed his support for women when he spotlighted Billie Jean King's Women's Sports Foundation, which invests in women's and girls' sports.

"My mom, she raised me with high character and to do things the right way," he told ESPN in 2021. "She's a counselor back home, and that's a perfect platform to impact the people around you, to impact kids around you."

Jalen's older brother, Averion Hurts, Jr., was also a quarterback at Channelview High School. Their father told Houston's Fox 26 in 2016 that the brothers played baseball, which helped develop their arms.

After his brother became a quarterback, "Jalen just kind of followed in that mold," Averion Hurts, Sr. said.

In 2016, both brothers were starting quarterbacks at the college level, Averion Jr. at Texas Southern University and Jalen at the University of Alabama.

According to his Instagram, Averion Jr. is now following in his father's footsteps and coaching at Lee High School in Baytown, Texas.

In 2021, Hurts told GQ Sports that his sister, who played high school volleyball then, might get a college scholarship. Still, he said he set aside $70,000 for her tuition just in case.

"I know she has dreams and aspirations to do special things in her life, whatever it is," he said of his sister in a 2021 ESPN interview. "And I want her to know that she can do anything she puts her mind to, and know that her brother has her back."

Hurts became a freshman quarterback for the Alabama Crimson Tide in 2016. (During his senior year, he'd transfer to the University of Oklahoma.)

Meanwhile, his wife, Burrows, graduated from the same university in 2017 after studying Spanish and political science. She went on to work for IBM.

The couple dated on and off for several years, Essence reported in 2023.

Hurts told GQ Sports that seeing his family's reaction to the draft still gives him chills.

The two have mostly kept their relationship out of the spotlight, but Burrows watched the football star defeat the San Francisco 49ers at the 2023 NFC Championship Game.

In September 2024, Hurts and Burrows shared their engagement photos with Essence. The romantic scene was set near the water, complete with roses, candles, and a violinist.

A few days later, the newly-engaged couple appeared together at Prime Video's "Evolution of the Black Quarterback premiere."

Earlier this year, the 26-year-old quarterback celebrated the Eagles' victory at Super Bowl LIX, where he was named Super Bowl MVP.

After the victory, the player credited his Eagles teammates for the team's success, saying, "I couldn't be here without my teammates."

In an April interview with Men's Health, Hurts revealed that he and Burrows were married in the spring.

While Hurts didn't share details about the nuptials, he told the magazine that by the time his May/June cover story was published, "You can call her my wife."

According to Men's Health, the Super Bowl MVP showed up to the interview with a Post-it note written by his wife that read, "You are exactly where you are supposed to be. I love you. Follow God! I follow you."
