The pair met at a Cody Johnson concert.
Brandon Duc Allen, the NFL quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, is married to his college sweetheart, Sarah Allen née Connley.
The pair married in 2019 and have since had two sons, Oakland and Ellis.
While Brandon keeps his personal life private, he occasionally shares glimpses of his familial life on his Instagram.
Brandon and Sarah met at a Cody Johnson concert held at the University of Arkansas, where Brandon was a quarterback for the Razorbacks from 2011 to 2015.
Sarah, who also attended the school, was introduced to Brandon by mutual friends.
They soon started dating after Brandon would ask Sarah to play with her dog, Teddy, just so he could see her.
The pair bonded over their mutual love of animals and discovered that they had actually been neighbors the whole time, both living off of Rupple Street in Fayetteville.
In June 2018, two years after beginning his journey in the NFL, Brandon took Sarah on a surprise trip to Sassafras Springs Vineyard & Winery, where he decorated a space with flowers and their pictures.
Brandon proposed, saying,
My favorite thing about Sarah is that I can always be myself around her. She is the only person I have ever wanted to hang out with every single day. We have fun doing nothing together and she will never say no to re-watching my favorite movies for the 100th time.

The elegant wedding was held on March 2, 2019, at the same venue, which is owned by Brandon’s best friend, Drew Gorton, and his family.
A little over a year later, the couple started their family by welcoming their firstborn, Oakland Duc Allen, born on July 14, 2020.
Brandon broke the good news to his fans in an Instagram post, writing,
Oakland Duc Allen welcome to the world little buddy!

@sarahconnleyallen was incredible and already killing it as a mom! Love you both so much 💙
Having a kid at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic must have been challenging; nevertheless, the couple did their best to raise the little boy, occasionally posting glimpses on social media.
Oakland, who is now 4 years old, has been a constant source of happiness and motivation to Brandon and Sarah.
The arrival of their second son, Ellis Allen, was more low-key.
While neither Brandon nor Sarah did not make any social media posts informing fans about the birth of the second child, Ellis Allen is speculated to have been born in August 2023.
Sarah Connley is a real estate agent based in Northwest Arkansas.
Following her graduation from the University of Arkansas in 2016 with a Bachelor’s degree in journalism, public relations, advertising, and applied communication, she received an official certification as a personal trainer from the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
After working as a retail inventory manager at Lululemon from 2017 to 2019, she received a real estate broker license in 2020.
Since then, she has worked for Keller Williams Realty and MoonCo Real Estate.
She sometimes uses her influence as an NFL WAG to promote her listings on her Facebook.
Sarah is a big supporter of her husband’s NFL career while also balancing her life as a mother of two young boys and a working woman.
She is occasionally seen attending Brandon’s games and cheering him on from the sidelines.
