Christopher Rainey is an American football running back and kick returner who is currently a free agent. He was chosen by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fifth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

Rainey attended Lakeland High School and was a standout running back for the Lakeland Dreadnaughts football team.

He then played college football at the University of Florida, where he was part of the 2009 BCS National Championship team. He also played track and field during his college.

In addition to the Steelers, Rainey played for the Indianapolis Colts of the NFL. Even though he signed with the Arizona Cardinals practice squad in September 2014, he was released by the team after just 9 days. 

Besides the NFL, Rainey also had stints in the Canadian Football League with the Montreal Alouettes, BC Lions, and the Toronto Argonauts.

Eschewing traditional attire, the couple exchanged vows in regular outfits, with Jenn’s father officiating the ceremony. Chris sported a t-shirt reading “Her Beast,” while Jenn wore one that said “His Beauty,” both donning black shirts and red shorts.

Jenn’s bridal ensemble featured an adorable veil with a bow. Jenn shared their special day on Instagram, noting the similarities between Chris and her father and expressing joy over having her father deliver their vows.

In another post, she mentioned that a wedding reception is on the way.

Although Jenn openly shares about her family on social media, very less about her personal details is known. There is no recorded information regarding her education, profession, or parents. 

The Rainey family is tight-knit and happy. Chris frequently expresses his admiration for his wife on Instagram while also being a dedicated and loving father. He actively supports his children’s activities and games.

In June 2017, Makari became an internet sensation when a video of him losing balance after Chris playfully spun him on playground equipment went viral. The video was watched by over 33 million people.

Similarly, Makynli, who is now 7, participates in cheerleading and the long jump. She also plays tack and field, just like her father. 

Likewise, their youngest child is named Makailynn. As posted by Jenn on her Instagram, the 3-year-old recently made her first track debut, running in a combined heat with 5&6-year-olds. She was given the MVP award.
