The Seattle Seahawks are facing the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl for the first time since 2015, and their wives and girlfriends are joining them for the NFL championship game.
The Seahawks’ loved ones are ready to support their partners at the big game, which will take place on Feb. 8 in Levi's Stadium. Defensive tackle Leonard Williams’ wife, Hailey Louise Williams, told PEOPLE in January 2026 that she’s grateful to watch her husband play in the championship games, regardless of a win or loss.
"I trust whatever God has planned for us, and I feel really excited to be able to watch my husband just do what he loves and have fun," she said ahead of a playoff game. "No matter what, it's such a blessing to be in this position and being at this game, I think it's just gonna be one of those moments we'll never forget, of 'You are actually in this championship, and we're here.' "
Here’s everything to know about the wives and girlfriends of the Seattle Seahawks.

Seahawks starting quarterback Sam Darnold asked Katie Hoofnagle to be his wife in July 2025. After two years of dating, the football player popped the question, and Hoofnagle said yes.

Wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been with his wife Anna Marie Kupp since high school. After three years of dating, the pair tied the knot in 2015 — but Cooper says he knew Anna was the one the moment he saw her.
"I knew that she was the one that I wanted to marry when we had first met back in high school," the football player told ESPN in February 2022. "I told my mom the day I met her, 'I'm going to marry this girl.' "
Today, Anna supports Cooper on the sidelines with their three sons, Cooper Jameson, Cypress Stellar and Solas Reign. The couple welcomed their eldest child in July 2018, with their middle son following in January 2021 and their youngest arriving in June 2023.

Hailey Louise Williams has been by defensive end Leonard Williams’ side since his college football days. The couple met at the University of Southern California and have been together since 2015.
They got married in April 2025 during a romantic Caribbean wedding ceremony — and they’re expecting their first child soon after the Super Bowl.
In January 2026, the breathwork facilitator and meditation teacher revealed to PEOPLE that her due date is in the second week of March. Though their baby’s arrival is nearly coinciding with the defensive end’s Super Bowl appearance, Hailey says they’ve prepared enough to fully focus on football.
“Everything is prepared for the baby,” she said. “The nursery's done, I got the car seat and the stroller. We have the crib, and everything's ready to go. Right now, we're focusing on football.”
Hailey added, “Leo's doing his best to support me with all the emotions that have come up because emotions come up in pregnancy.”

She called this Super Bowl-culminating season “magical” and expressed her excitement about the big game.
