Meet Hunter Henry's wife, Parker Henry

Parker and Hunter started dating when they were at the University of Arkansas. He was one year senior to Parker. When she was pursuing her nursing degree, Hunter was selected by Charges. In a 2025 interview with Business Insider, Parker shared details about their relationship, including her first meeting and marriage. Parker mentioned that before getting married to the NFL star, they had a long-distance relationship. Parker added that she got married to Hunter in the same year she graduated. She was quoted as saying:

"Hunter and I started dating when we were at the University of Arkansas. He was a year ahead of me, and I was still completing my nursing degree when he was drafted to the Chargers (who were first based in San Diego, then Los Angeles). We had a long-distance relationship before getting married in 2018. That was also the year I graduated and started working as a labour and delivery nurse."

Parker Henry continued working as a registered nurse even after her husband earned millions in the NFL

For the uninitiated, Hunter began his NFL career in 2016 and was selected by the San Diego Chargers (now, Los Angeles Chargers). He began his successful NFL career with a four-year, USD 6.38 million deal, including around USD 4 million guaranteed and a whopping signing bonus of USD 2.38 million. By March 2020, he received an impressive one-year franchise tag with the Chargers, worth over USD 10 million.

In 2021, Hunter landed a three-year, USD 37.5 million contract with the New England Patriots, and in March 2024, he earned a USD 27 million extension for his performance in New England. While many NFL players’ partners quit their own careers, Parker chose not to give up and continued her career as a registered nurse. In the same interview, Parker shared that continuing her own career gave her a purpose. She said, "I kept working as an RN even after my husband had made more than $30 million in the NFL. Working as a nurse for two and a half years gave me a sense of purpose and fulfilment."

Parker Henry and Hunter Henry are expecting their third child

Parker and Hunter are parents to two children, Ace and Rivi. They welcomed their first child, a son, Ace, in 2021 and welcomed their second child, a daughter, Rivi, in 2023. On October 28, 2025, Parker took to her Instagram handle and announced her pregnancy for the third time. She shared a carousel featuring her, Hunter and their two kids, Ace and Rivi. The third snap was all things adorable. In the picture, Hunter, Parker, Ace and the couple’s little angel, Rivi, held a sonogram in her hand while they posed for the camera. In the same interview, Parker revealed that their third child is due in March. Parker captioned the post as, "You and me. Plus three."

Parker Henry stopped working as a nurse when she embraced motherhood for the first time

In the same interview, Parker revealed that she stopped working as a nurse when she embraced motherhood for the first time. In 2021, she moved to Massachusetts along with her husband, Hunter, when he signed with the New England Patriots. Parker mentioned that after she became a mom, she shifted her focus to raising them. She was quoted as saying:

"I stopped working when we moved to Massachusetts, and I found out I was expecting our son. Now, my purpose and fulfilment come from raising our soon- to-be three kids. I don't think I'm done with nursing, though; I joke that I'm going to become a school nurse to follow the kids."

Parker Henry shares that being an NFL wife is not all glitz and glamour

In the same interview, Parker shared that being an NFL wife is not all glitz and glamour as people outside the world think. She mentioned that all the glitz and glamour fade away when a person has to run a house and get the kids ready for school. She added that her husband, Hunter, has no idea what happens at home during the football session. She was quoted as saying:

"The fascination with NFL wives and girlfriends is funny to me. We're just human beings, trying to wake up and get through the week. The glitz and glam isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when you're handling the mental load of running a home, getting the kids to school, and packing lunches. Hunter has no idea what's going on at home during football season. I rely on paid help, since we don't have family living near us."
