Who Is Miami Dolphins Receiver Tyreek Hill’s Wife Keeta Vaccaro?
Wide receiver Tyreek Hill was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. In the 2022 offseason, after plenty of success with the team including a Super Bowl victory, the wideout was traded to the Miami Dolphins. Hill then signed a contract worth $120 million, making him the highest-paid receiver in the league.
In early 2024, while putting up numbers that brought him into the league MVP conversation, Hill rushed home from the Dolphins’ practice facility after hearing the news that there was a large fire at his South Florida residence. Multiple outlets reported that although some of his relatives were in the house at the time, everyone got out and no one was hurt. News choppers on the scene captured images of Hill embracing his wife, Keeta Vaccaro, as firefighters worked to contain the blaze.
Here’s more about the athlete and his family.
When Hill and Vaccaro got married
After dating for years Hill and Vaccaro got engaged on July 4, 2021, and the football player’s proposal came as a major surprise to his then-girlfriend.
While Vaccaro admitted that the two had talked about marriage, she had no idea Hill was going to pop the question when he did telling TMZ Sports: “I didn’t know he was going to propose to me in this time frame, we’d been talking about it for a long time — getting engaged and married — but it was a surprise to me. My family was here so he really put it all together, it was really sweet.”
The couple also joked that Vaccaro’s engagement ring has more bling than Hill’s Super Bowl ring.
“She’s definitely got the most diamonds,” Hill said, adding, “We made sure of that.”
After being engaged for two years, the pair wed on Nov. 8, 2023, in Travis County, Texas. The wideout revealed that the decision to do so was completely spontaneous.
“I was spending a lot of time with my kids, spending a lot of time with her, and the conversation just came up,” Hill recalled. “I was like, ‘Babe, we’ve been engaged so long, are you ready to tie the knot?'”
