Lions quarterback Jared Goff has inked a massive four-year, $212million extension to stay in Detroit until 2028, with no one other than his girlfriend and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Christen Harper by his side to celebrate his huge pay day.

The 29-year-old, who led the Lions to the NFC Championship game in Detroit's first NFL playoff run since 2016 this winter, is now officially the second-highest paid QB in the entire league behind Joe Burrow, who signed a five-year, $275million extension with the Cincinnati Bengals, this past season. 

In comparison, three-time Super Bowl champion and Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes ranks eighth, tied with Atlanta Falcons' signal-caller, Kirk Cousins, at $45million annually.


'Blessed. Fired up to continue to play for this city and the greatest fans in the world! Appreciate all the love I've received this past week. LFG DETROIT!' Jared shared in an Instagram post of himself and Christen posing in front of the Lions logo on May 16.

Fans were quick to hail the couple as 'the president and first lady of Detroit' in the comment section of the three-time Pro Bowler's social post.

But, with the Lions QB set to tie the knot with the woman of his dreams in the near future, who exactly are the Goffs? DailyMail.com takes a look at the soon-to-weds' romantic history.

How did they meet? 

The couple started dating in 2019 after meeting on high-profile celebrity dating app Raya, while Jared was still playing for the Los Angeles Rams.

Three years later, while looking back at the start of their relationship in an interview with Sports Illustrated, Christen recalled that she was just casually dating back then.

'I was truly not looking for anything at the time,' she said in September 2022. 'I had just gotten out of a long relationship, and I was trying to stay single for a year. Then I met him [Jared], and the rest is history, baby.' 

The couple made their red-carpet debut at the 2019 EPSYS.

That same year, Christen also publicly wished Jared a happy birthday on Instagram.

How has the couple's relationship evolved?

Since the couple first laid eyes on each other, four years ago, Jared's left the City of Angels for Motor City in a trade that saw QB Matthew Stafford move the other way in 2021. The Lions also acquired the Rams' first round draft picks in 2022 and 2023, and a 2021 third round pick in the process.

Looking back at the deal, now, both teams won the trade, as Jared led the Lions to their first playoff win since 1992, while Matthew's won a Super Bowl ring in L.A.

Nonetheless, Christen's had to split her time between California - her home state and where her modeling photo shoots are often taken - and Michigan. 

Several months after her boyfriend relocated to extend his NFL career, she shared a few snaps of their lives in Detroit in a 'life lately' update on Instagram.

A year later, in June 2022, the couple got engaged while vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Christen held a Bachelorette party, also in Cabo San Lucas, in April of this year.

The couple will wed in California sometime this summer. Jared, like Christen, is also from The Golden State.

How supportive are they of each other's careers?

Throughout the 2023 NFL season, Christen has often been spotted rooting for her beau at Lions games, proving that the love she shares with Jared is still growing as strong as ever. 

She was last seen at a football stadium for the NFC title game in San Francisco between the Lions and 49ers in January 28. 

Often seen standing up with her girl pals in front of the crowd, Christen has shared multiple reels of herself and Jared kissing before and after Lions games.

As for what the QB does to show support for his girlfriend, Jared is regularly seen on the red carpet with his fiancee at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit-related events.

Earlier in May, Jared and Christen attended the magazine's Swimsuit Issue Launch Party in New York along with Olivia Dunne, Paige Spiranac, and Brittany Mahomes.
