Todd Blackledge wife, Brittany Blackledge, works with ESPN and has previously worked with NASCAR. The football analyst, Todd Blackledge, shares four sons from his previous marriage.
One of his four kids is pursuing baseball at TCU, and his oldest son was awarded while he played basketball for Hope College. His kids have a good rapport with Brittany and were also present at their dad’s wedding ceremony in 2022.
The former Penn State quarterback, Blackledge, played seven years in the NFL before switching his cleats for a microphone. Todd began his television journey with ABC Sports in 1994 and has previously worked with CBS and ESPN.
Blackledge left ESPN earlier this year after 17 years and joined NBC. Recently, with Noah Eagle, Blackledge announced the Bengals Vs. Steelers game, replacing NBC’s normal duo Cris Collinsworth and Mike Tirico. The changes were made as college football was over, and the NFL had games four days a week.
Todd Blackledge Wife: Meet Brittany Blackledge
Todd Blackledge’s wife, Brittany Blackledge, shares similar interests as the former NFL player. After all, they both work in the sports world.
Brittany Blackledge graduated from Louisiana State University with a theatre/dance degree in 2010. Before graduating from LSU, Brittany also studied at Copiah-Lincoln Community College for two years.
Brittany entered into the sporting world in 2010 with NBC. She joined the NBC Sports team as a stage manager. Two years later, she found a role in the production/talent coordinator team of ESPN.
In 2014, Brittany also began working with CBS Sports as their stage manager. She worked for CBS for six years, from 2014-2020, and during that time, she also picked up the role of production manager for NASCAR.
She left NASCAR earlier this year in February. Brittany tied the knot with the commentator on May 13, 2022. It remains unclear when Todd and Brittany began dating, but they might have met for the first time while working for ESPN.
On her Facebook handle, Brittany has shared a few photos from her wedding day. Before tying the knot with Brittany, Todd was previously married to Cherie Blackledge.
Todd’s former wife always kept herself out of the spotlight and continues to do so. On his X handle (formerly Twitter), Todd has previously shared snaps with his wife, Brittany.
Earlier this year, he shared a photo of him and Brittany attending TCU’s baseball game. Todd’s youngest son, Owen, plays as an infielder for the TCU.
He captioned the post, “My son plays for TCU, and my wife went to LSU, so we have all of the purple covered here in Omaha! Go Frogs! Geaux Tigers!”
Todd Blackledge Kids: The Analyst Is Father To Four Boys
Todd Blackledge shares four kids, all boys, with his former Cherie. His four sons have taken different paths in life, and one of his sons was even awarded the Jostens Trophy.
In 2017, Todd’s oldest son, Harrison Blackledge, won the Jostens Trophy. The Rotary Club of Salem created the award and takes in three criteria.
The player’s basketball ability, academic prowess, and community service. Harrison played four years of basketball at Hope College and was the first Hope student to win this honor.
After completing his education at Hope, Belmont enrolled at Belmont University and graduated with an MBA. He works at TelevisaUnivision as a Sales Service Executive and is married to Kristi Blackledge.
Todd’s other son, Quinn Blackledge, is a University of Michigan graduate and is pursuing his master’s degree in counseling psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies.
He currently works at The Richmond Neighborhood Center as YWD Case Manager. Their brother Eli Blackledge remains away from social media so not much is known about him.
Owen Blackledge Is A Baseball Player
Todd and Cherie’s youngest child, Owen Blackledge, is in his sophomore at Texas Christian University. He previously played high school baseball at North Canton.
At North Canton, Owen received first-team All-Ohio honors as a senior and earned the first-team all-Stark County district honors. Standing at 6’3, Owen plays as an infielder. In his debut season in 2022, Owen made four starts in nine appearances.
His first four starts came as a designated hitter. At the end of the year, Owen was named to the 2022 Big 12 Academic All-Rookie Team. In his sophomore year, Owen appeared in five games and averaged .250.
He is available on Instagram with the username @lil_ledge06 and has shared snaps of him with his teammates and of him in action for TCU.
