Tua Tagovailoa, Atlanta Falcons
After the Miami Dolphins exercised his fifth-year option in March 2023, Tua revealed to reporters that he contemplated retirement following his injury-plagued 2022 season.
He also mentioned having many wonderful reasons to stay home.
“Never one to put my private life out there. But this one deserved a post,” Tua shared on July 17, 2023, posting a unique photo of his love Annah Tagovailoa. “Happy 1 Year Anniversary to my beautiful wife. I love you.”
In a rare glimpse into his personal life, Tua expressed gratitude for his wife and their new baby (son Ace, born in August 2022, made his public debut at the Tua Foundation luau benefit the following April).
“It’s very unique how having a child impacts how you see things differently in life. It’s like nothing that I’ve experienced,” Tua stated. “There’s no playbook for this because everyone’s experience is different, whether you’re having a boy first or a girl.”
That being said, he added, “I thank my heavenly Father up above that I got a boy first. Oh, man. I don’t know what I’d do if I had a girl. It’d be a little harder, I think, because I wouldn’t know what to do necessarily.”
Tua, who signed with the Falcons in 2026, and Anna have since welcomed daughter Maisey.
