Coming to his personal life, Kirk has been happily married to Julie Cousins since 2024. The couple shares two children. Amid his association with the Raiders, people have grown curious about how rich Kirk is as of 2026. Well, we got you covered.
Over the last ten years, from 2016 to 2026, NFL star, Kirk Cousins’ earnings rose significantly. According to a report by TOI, in 2016, Kirk earned approximately USD 22 million and in 2017, he earned approximately USD 24 million. As per the same outlet, in 2018, Kirk Cousins signed a three-year, USD 84 million fully guaranteed contract with the Minnesota Vikings. The team extended Kirk’s contract twice, including a two-year USD 66 million extension in 2020 with a signing bonus of USD 30 million. By the time Kirk’s contract with the Minnesota Vikings ended, his NFL salary earnings were around USD 231 million. As of 2026, Kirk’s alleged net worth is around USD 180 million.
As of 2025, Julie Cousins’ estimated net worth is USD 1 million. Julie has kept her life very private, and thus, the source of her earnings is not known. So if the reported net worth is believed to be true, then Kirk is richer than Julie. The couple’s combined net worth is reportedly USD 181 million.
Julie was born in 1989 and raised in Alpharetta, Georgia, to Sue and Michael Hampton. She has two older siblings, Scott and Steve. Julie studied at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia. Reportedly, she met Kirk in 2012 through a mutual family friend in 2012. Next year, in November 2013, Kirk announced on his X (formerly Twitter) that he’d proposed to Julie, and she accepted.
It was Kirk Cousins who popped the question to Julie. However, the NFL star was very nervous before his surprise proposal to Julie. In a past interview with The Washington Post, Kirk shared details about his engagement with Julie. The NFL star proposed to his ladylove on the balcony of the Speaker of the House’s office in the Capitol building. The arrangement was done by Kirk’s friend and Michigan Congressman, Bill Huizenga. Kirk was quoted as saying:
"I was extremely nervous. On the way down driving the car, as we got close to the Capitol building, I was holding her hand and she goes, ‘Why are your hands cold and sweaty?’ I said, ‘I don’t know,’ but I knew it was because I was super nervous."
On June 28, 2014, Kirk tied the knot with Julie in Atlanta. However, it was all things adorable when Kirk wore his wedding band on the field. Kirk’s small gesture to promote marriage brought a smile to Julie’s face. Speaking of the same, Kirk told USA Today:
"My wife was thrilled. She loved it and, honestly, after I started wearing it and realised how much my wife was glad that I did, I realised, you know, I think it's a good thing to promote marriage."
Kirk and Julie are parents to two sons, Cooper and Turner. In March 2017, Julie announced on her Instagram handle that she was expecting her first child with Kirk. In September 2017, the Washington Commanders, the former team in which Kirk played, announced that the couple had welcomed their first son, Cooper. In March 2019, the couple completed their family by welcoming their second son, Turner.
