The pair met in 2017 after being introduced by a mutual friend. At the time, Emily said she did not want to date a “punk football player” and brushed him off. “I was assuming he’d be the typical playboy athlete,” she shared about Baker. She quickly learned that he was not what she expected. Emily told ESPN that on their first date, he asked her so many questions about herself and her family, her future plans, and more.
They got engaged six months later and married on July 6, 2019. You also may recognize Emily as she and Baker starred in a series of commercials together for Progressive Insurance.
The pair faced some ups and downs over the years. Baker eventually was traded to the Carolina Panthers from the Cleveland Browns before being cut by the team after struggling with his play and an injury. He was then picked up by the Rams, and then, eventually, was signed by the Bucs.
In 2020, Baker faced cheating allegations by a fan who claimed they had a rendez-vous one month after his wedding.
