Tua Tagovailoa, Atlanta Falcons
After his fifth-year option was picked up by the Miami Dolphins in March 2023, Tua admitted to reporters that he considered retiring after his injury-marred 2022 season.
And not least because he had so many wonderful things to stay home for.
“Never one to put my private life out there. But this one deserved a post,” Tua wrote on July 17, 2023, sharing a one-time-only snap of his love Annah Tagovailoa. “Happy 1 Year Anniversary to my beautiful wife. I love you.”
In a rare peek into his off-field world, Tua told reporters in November 2022 that he was thankful for his wife and new baby (son Ace, born in August 2022, made his public debut at the Tua Foundation luau benefit the following April).
“It’s very unique how having a child impacts how you see things differently in life. It’s like nothing that I’ve experienced,” Tua said. “There’s no playbook for this because everyone’s experience is different, whether you’re having a boy first or a girl.”
That being said, he added, “I thank my heavenly Father up above that I got a boy first. Oh, man. I don’t know what I’d do if I had a girl. It’d be a little harder, I think, because I wouldn’t know what to do necessarily.”
Tua, who signed with the Falcons in 2026, and Anna have since welcomed daughter Maisey.
