Who is Jalen Hurts' fiancé Bry Burrows? Meet the Eagles star QB’s longtime girlfriend

When Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts learned he’d be going to Super Bowl LVII in the 2022-23 season, he hard launched his fiancé, Bry.

Much has been made recently about the way the Eagles quarterback falls, but some want to talk about the woman he appears to have fallen for.

As the saying goes, there’s a great woman behind every great man, or perhaps more accurately, at his side. The Eagles quarterback is no exception and with that we’re exploring the life and career of the woman who has been next to him through thick and thin.

Introducing Bryonna “Bry” Rivera Burrows

Though he was quiet for quite some time about his personal life, Eagles fans were surprised to get a first-hand look at Jalen Hurts’ partner when the signal caller walked onto the field holding her hand, following the team’s NFC Championship Game win in January 2023, on their way to Super Bowl LVII. The woman at his side was of course Hurts’ girlfriend, Bryonna “Bry” Rivera Burrows. It was the first time that Hurts had publicly revealed his relationship with Burrows to the world, something he has not done through social media, nor has she for that matter - that we know of. Her Instagram profile is set to private. They did, however, step out together at the Time100 Next Gala in New York City in October 2023.

How did Jalen Hurts and Bryonna Rivera Burrows meet?

According to reports, the couple started a relationship during their years in college, back in 2016 when they both attended the University of Alabama. For her part, Burrows pursued an undergraduate and graduate degree in political science and Spanish, respectively. Where Hurts is concerned, the signal caller played for the school’s football team and was in fact the starting QB for two seasons with the famous ‘Crimson Tide,’ before transferring to Oklahoma in his senior year, prior to the NFL Draft.

Burrows is said to have been an active member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, as well as several other honor societies. She participated in the Theta Sigma chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, which is “the oldest Greek-letter organization established by African American college-educated women,” according to the organization’s website. On top of that, she was also a candidate for homecoming queen and even served as the school’s MBA class vice president. There is even a 2016 photo on the chapter’s Instagram profile in which Burrows can be seen holding a plaque, with an accompanying caption that reads, “Our very own, Bryonna Burrows, was honored as Outstanding Junior for Order of Omega. Congratulations Bry!”

What is Bryonna Rivera Burrows doing now?

According to her LinkedIn profile, Burrows has been working in tech since her graduation. With a career at IBM that started in 2019, she has since held several positions though her profile lists her current job as AI partner. In 2021, Burrows was featured in a Harvard Business Review article which she shared on her profile. In the article, she discussed the difference in approach that different personalities take when dealing with an “always-on” culture, before describing herself as an extrovert.
