Throughout his career, the linebacker played with Redskins (2013-2017), Tennessee Titans (2018, 2020), Oakland Raiders (2019), and Las Vegas Raiders (2021).

Will Compton officially started dating his wife, Charo Bishop, on May 27, 2017.

After four years, the couple tied the knot on June 26, 2021, in an outdoor wedding ceremony at the Rainbow Ranch Lodge in Montana.

The newlyweds treasured their honeymoon on the French Polynesian island of Bora Bora.

Just into a year of the marriage, the pair welcomed a bundle of joy, their beautiful daughter Cerulean Belle Compton, on April 3, 2022.

With an ultrasound image, Mrs. Compton had announced her pregnancy in September 2021, expressing her joy at beginning the motherhood journey.

Following graduation, she worked full-time in financial services and real estate as an experienced associate for Price Waterhouse Coopers in 2011.

Moreover, Will’s wife worked as the part-time NFL Cheerleader for Washington Redskins from 2010 to 2016.

In addition, Charo was a tax accountant at TEGNA for nearly three years.

Presently, Charo is now associated with Barre3 as a franchise operations manager.

Will Compton Announces Retirement

Will Compton had been active for nearly a decade in the NFL. But after failing to sign with the Atlanta Falcons, he has decided to hang up his boots.

The Nebraska alumnus made his choice public through a tweet and Instagram post. The caption read:

“After 9, arguably 10, years in the NFL – I am officially retiring. I truly can’t put into words how grateful I am for this game and the people who have been on this journey with me. Thank you all so much. See you in Canton, OH 🐺”

The former NFL star has not disclosed his post-retirement plans.

He will most likely continue with his podcast, “Bussin with the Boys,” which he hosts with offensive lineman Taylor Lewan.

On the other hand, Compton will surely enjoy retirement life with his wife, Charo, and beautiful daughter, Cerulean Belle.
