The Reids have long been seen as one of the NFL’s most respected and enduring couples. Their love story began in college at Brigham Young University, and through decades of challenges—including personal tragedies, the demands of football, and public scrutiny—they remained devoted to each other. Fans often praised Tammy as Andy’s quiet anchor, offering strength through his high-pressure career, five Super Bowl appearances, and the heartbreaking loss of their son Garrett in 2012.
Signs of Strain Behind the Scenes
Although the couple rarely shared personal matters with the public, sources close to the family say that behind their smiles and united front, things had begun to shift. Long absences during football seasons, mounting personal stress, and years of emotional strain reportedly took their toll.
