Jalen Hurts: From Super Bowl MVP to Children's Book Author!
Jalen Hurts Trades Touchdowns for Page-Turners: Eagles QB Unveils Children's Book and Secret Marriage
In a stunning move that's got everyone talking, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has traded in his cleats for a pen, debuting as an author with the children's book "Better Than a Touchdown." But what's even more surprising is that this talented 26-year-old has been keeping a major secret from fans: he's been married to longtime girlfriend Bry Burrows for months!
Hurts' new book, illustrated by Nneka Myers (who previously worked on the popular "The Littlest Fans" series, including a Beyonce-themed children's book), is all about the importance of friendship and teamwork - values that Hurts credits with teaching him essential life lessons as a child. The quarterback shared his inspiration for the book on the TODAY show: "Some of the most valuable lessons I've brought into my adult life were passed down to me during childhood, like the importance of doing something bigger than yourself."
But what's got everyone buzzing is that Hurts' personal life has been heating up as much as the Eagles' winning streak. The Super Bowl LIX MVP tied the knot with Burrows earlier this year in a private ceremony - and it seems they've only just celebrated their union in style! According to sources, the happy couple rented out the luxurious Four Seasons hotel in Napa Valley for an extravagant weekend bash, complete with champagne toasts and a star-studded guest list.
The quarterback's secret wedding may have slipped under the radar, but eagle-eyed fans noticed Burrows sporting a sparkling ring on her right hand during their Super Bowl victory celebration. And if that wasn't enough of a hint, Hurts was spotted wearing what looked suspiciously like an engagement band on his left finger before the big game.
So, what's next for this power couple? With "Better Than a Touchdown" set to hit shelves in March 2026 (just over a year after their Super Bowl win), we can expect Hurts and Burrows to be juggling book tours, NFL seasons, and, of course, their whirlwind romance.
And don't think for a second that this is the only surprise from the Eagles' star quarterback. When asked about his decision not to attend the White House celebration with Donald Trump after their championship win, Hurts gave a tongue-in-cheek response: "I wasn't available... I don't think that's pertinent." Guess we'll never know what really went down, but one thing's for sure: Jalen and Bry are living their best lives.
The book is currently available for pre-order on Penguin Random House for $19.99 - a small price to pay for a glimpse into the life of this charming young couple. As Hurts so aptly put it in an interview: "You are exactly where you are supposed to be. I love you. Follow God! I follow you." Looks like we can expect many more exciting chapters from this dynamic duo.
