Drew Brees and Brittany Brees first crossed paths in January 1999 while both were students at Purdue University in Indiana. At the time, Drew was marking his 20th birthday. Recalling their initial meeting in a 2002 interview with ESPN The Magazine, Drew admitted that he had embarrassed himself.
Drew explained that he was a sophomore who had consumed around 17 shots on his birthday and used a cheesy, typical football player line. He added that it took him six months to gather the courage to speak to Brittany again and that he eventually arranged to be invited to a party where he knew she would be present.
Brittany Brees later shared her perspective on their first date. She said that when Drew Brees invited her out, her friends insisted on joining because he was known as the guy who had embarrassed himself. He brought along some of his football teammates, and they went to watch a movie, during which his friends began throwing Gummy Bears at the screen. After dating for a few years, the couple married in February 2003.
Six years after they tied the knot, the duo welcomed their first child, Baylen. They had their second child, Bowen, in 2010. The pair became the parents of their child, Callen, in 2012. The couple’s youngest child, Rylen, was born in 2014.
