Eagles Defensive End Brandon Graham And His Wife, Carlyne R. Graham, Have Been Married For Almost A Decade!
Brandon Graham, a defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles, and his wife, Carlyne R. Graham, celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary this year.
After their marriage in 2014, the couple welcomed a daughter, Emerson, and a son, Bryson.
Although they first met in 2002 at Crockett Technical High School, Brandon and Carlyne didn’t start dating until they were in college.
Their sweet love story began with a call from Brandon, who played for the Michigan Wolverines back then.
“It ultimately didn’t happen until I was in college when I had the nerve to call her.”

Finally, in 2013, Carlyne Williams said yes to the NFL star’s surprise proposal.
Brandon told Carlyne that Fox Sports wanted to do a documentary on him and his upcoming football camp.
But unbeknownst to her, the football star had hired a small team to film his proposal.
Despite their varying profession, the couple is very supportive towards each other.
They have dabbled in philanthropy, founding a non-profit organization, The Team Graham.
Similarly, they have conducted several projects in Philadelphia and Detroit, hosting charity events each summer.

We are forever grateful to have supporters like you. The feeling I’m having right now is unexplainable, all praise and acknowledgement goes to our God.
