While the Broncos and their fans still get over the shock, Jarrett Stidham will now try be the next man up in a potential Cinderella storybook ending to deliver Denver an unlikely Super Bowl as their betting odds plummet.

Kennedy is a former Baylor soccer player

The couple met when Stidham played in Baylor for only one season in 2015 before transferring to Auburn before eventually getting drafted in the fourth round by the New England Patriots in 2019, but that's where the 29-year-old former second-team All-SEC QB found the love of his life.

The two eventually got married the same year he got drafted.

Kennedy's father Tad is a big-deal in the sports world

Her maiden name is Brown, and her dad is Tad Brown, the CEO of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, which is the Josh Harris group that owns the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Devils. He was formerly the CEO of the Houston Rockets.

Kennedy is now a fashion and mom influencer with 116k Instagram followers.

Kennedy and Jarrett have three children together

Speaking of motherhood, Kennedy is the proud mom of three children — daughter Lennon, son Madden, and their baby daughter, born on October 6, 2025.

Before, it would have gotten mild engagement as the Broncos' QB2's beautiful wife. Now the scrutiny will increase exponentially with Denver in the AFC Championship Game with her husband as the starter with a chance to get them to the Super Bowl.

No pressure! Luckily Mrs. Stidham will crush her game-day fit.
