Andy Reid is widely regarded as one of the most successful football coaches of all time—but he considers his greatest trophy to be his wife, Tammy Reid. The college sweethearts have one of the longest marriages in the NFL. After meeting in class at BYU, Andy Reid and his wife got married in 1981. They share five children together, and over the years, both have been heavily involved in charitable organizations across the US.
Alongside quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs head coach made his fourth Super Bowl appearance with the team on February 11, 2024, where they were victorious over Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers…and his wife was rooting for him from the sidelines, as per usual. Here, we break down everything to know about Andy Reid’s wife, Tammy, and their 40-year romance.
Who is Andy Reid’s Wife? Details About Tammy Reid
Andy Reid’s wife is Tammy Reid. Born in New York on November 6, 1959, Tammy was raised in Tennessee and attended high school in Arizona before enrolling at Brigham Young University in Utah.
In addition to being her husband’s biggest cheerleader on the field, Tammy Reid is an avid philanthropist. She often volunteers for charitable organizations in the cities where her husband coaches; When Andy was with the Philadelphia Eagles, Tammy joined the advisory board for Laural House, a local organization that supports domestic violence victims. She also collaborates with NFL wives and girlfriends to help them get involved in the community.
Andy Reid and his wife Tammy met while they were in college at Brigham Young University. In a profile shared on the Chiefs official website, Tammy shared that they crossed paths in a “Fundamentals of Tennis” class. “He had this air about him—this confidence,” Tammy recalled of her future husband, “but he wouldn’t ask me out, and I’d never not had a guy that I wanted to ask me out not ask me out. So the second half of the semester, since it’s a half credit, we played badminton. We were playing after he had already beaten me at tennis and I’m like, ‘Well, I could beat you at racquetball.'”
They consider that racquetball match to be their “first date.” (And for curious minds, Andy won.) After their game, he formally asked her out to the movies, and the rest is history.
