The 2025 season brought major changes: Darnold left the Minnesota Vikings to sign with the Seahawks, where he delivered back-to-back Pro Bowl performances. He also popped the question to Hoofnagle weeks before training camp. 💍✨
Hoofnagle confirmed the engagement on Instagram on July 7, 2025, answering with a resounding “YES!!!!!” in five exclamation points. Her profile even features a paraphrase of Marshawn Lynch’s famous line, “I’m here so I won’t get fined.” 🗣️🏈
Darnold’s Seahawks era is underscored by a three-year, $100 million contract, and he’s posted his second straight Pro Bowl season. He attributes much of his momentum to Hoofnagle’s support, noting she understands the grind because she’s a former athlete herself. 🧡💼
There’s no wedding date announced, and it’s unlikely to come during football season. As Darnold looks to a long tenure in Seattle and perhaps a Super Bowl run, the couple seems to be enjoying the balance of romance and hard work, with plenty of chill moments amid the grind. 🎯⏳
