Jade Cargill and her husband, former Cincinnati Reds star Brandon Phillips, had an instant spark.
The WWE star first crossed paths with the retired professional baseball player when she was meeting a childhood friend, who also happened to be both of their managers.
“One day, my manager and I were meeting at a Starbucks — and then directly after, I guess he was meeting up with Brandon,” she wrote for The Players’ Tribune in 2022. “I was walking out the door as Brandon was walking in, like a rom-com or something. And I guess he noticed me and asked about me. Like, ‘Who was that?’ “
While it’s unknown when they married, the two are vocal about their love for each other.
In 2022, Cargill showed her support for the MLB Hall of Famer by wearing his iconic Boston Red Sox jersey during an interview. The following year, Phillips appeared on the In the Front Row with Mike Vaccaro podcast and praised his wife's career.
“I want her to have her own spotlight — it’s about her, it’s not about me,” he said. “I’ve been in the spotlight since ’99, and right now, I’m just chilling with the kids, chilling with Jade, traveling the world with her.”
Phillips has three kids: daughter Micole and son Micah from previous relationships and daughter Bailey Quinn, whom he shares with Cargill.

In her personal essay, Cargill wrote about the couple’s age difference and how they love to poke fun at this in their relationship.
“He’s 11 years older than me — so we always do the little math of where we were at in different times in our life," she wrote. "I legit think I must have been at one of his games when I was in elementary!”
Cargill continued, “But the dynamic is sweet. Brandon is a goofy, fun-loving man, and I’m very similar, so we just mesh. He’s the person that calms me down, I guess you could say. He’s my peace.”
