Sam Darnold Gets His Ring: Seahawks QB Marries Katie Hoofnagle After Super Bowl Glory
Sam Darnold just added the most important ring of his life. After leading the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl LX championship in February, the franchise's first title since 2014, Darnold married his fiancée Katie Hoofnagle last Friday in Rancho Santa Fe, California. The couple, both 28 years old, said "I do" in front of a seriously stacked guest list that included Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen with his wife Hailee Steinfeld, and San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey alongside his wife Olivia Culpo.
A Wedding Fit for a Super Bowl Champion
The Seahawks signal caller went all out for the big day. Two hundred and twenty-seven guests showed up to celebrate, and the couple made one smart call: no phones allowed. That's right, they implemented a phone-free policy so everyone could actually be present and enjoy the moment instead of filming it for social media. The wedding was officiated by Darnold's marketing agent, Tee Stumb, and they brought in a band called Modern Retrospect with a saxophonist from Second Song to keep the reception rolling.

Darnold and Hoofnagle made their relationship official back in 2023 when she posted a carousel of photos celebrating his 26th birthday. The couple got engaged in July, and now they're officially husband and wife. The timing couldn't be better for the Seattle QB, who signed with the Seahawks in March 2025 and just finished his regular season with 4,048 passing yards and 25 touchdowns. That's the kind of performance that gets you a ring, both the Super Bowl kind and the matrimonial kind.
