Eagles QB Jalen Hurts and Bry Burrows’ Relationship Timeline

Jalen Hurts has won the hearts of Philadelphia Eagles fans with his impressive work on the football field — but he found his true love in Alabama.

The Eagles quarterback turned heads while playing for the University of Alabama from 2016 to 2018. However, off the field, he only had eyes for Bryonna “Bry” Burrows.

The pair began dating in college before Hurts transferred to University of Oklahoma in 2019. Hurts kept his romance off social media before and after he was drafted by the Eagles in 2020. However, when his team won the NFC Championship in January 2023, Burrows joined him on the field to celebrate.

The couple, who got engaged in September 2024, have continued to keep their romance as private as possible. But eagle-eyed fans have spotted her at several Eagles games over the years.

Scroll down to see Hurts and Burrows’ romance from the start:

College

The twosome met at the University of Alabama sometime between 2016 and 2018, while Hurts was in school and playing football. After three seasons, Hurts transferred to Oklahoma to finish out his college football career.

Burrows, meanwhile, finished her undergraduate education at Alabama in 2017 with a degree in Spanish and political science. She remained at the university for several years and eventually earned her MBA from the school of business.

While they were both at Alabama, Hurts and Burrows were involved in Greek life. He was part of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity while Burrows was in the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.
