\n\t\t\tSeattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has a touchdown-worthy love story with Katie Hoofnagle. \u201cAmidst the chaos of our everyday lives, every day spent with you is filled with an abundance of peace, laughter, presence, joy and love,\u201d Hoofnagle wrote via Instagram in June 2025, celebrating Darnold\u2019s birthday. \u201cHere\u2019s to another trip around the sun sharing [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n

\u201cI worked at Anthropologie in college and was always drawn to their wedding collection, BHLDN,\u201d Hoofnagle recalled to People before the celebratory affair. \u201cI walked by Anthro and saw my now-dress hanging in the window and called my mom and sister, begging them to fly to Orange County ASAP so I could try it on.\u201d<\/p>\n

A slew of NFL stars showed up to support the groom, including Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and his wife, Hailee Steinfeld. The event marked the pair\u2019s first outing since welcoming their baby girl.<\/a><\/p>\n
