Mr. and Mrs. Mayfield moved through the beginning phases of their relationship faster than you can say "touchdown." After only a week of dating, the pair moved in together. At first, Emily Wilkinson was skeptical of agreeing to go on a date, worrying he was a "punk football player." As she told ESPN, "I was assuming he'd be the typical playboy athlete." But clearly, this football player knew how to play it off the field as well. After months of following and unfollowing her on Instagram to attract her attention, Wilkinson finally agreed to grab lunch together.
The stunning Wilkinson has fully stepped into influencer status with 227,000 followers on Instagram at the time of writing. And when not winning football games and posting on social media, the couple managed to find time to co-star in a Progressive Insurance commercial together. Looks like they both know how to play the exposure game.
Wilkinson is her husband's biggest supporter and is quick to shoot down the haters and "fairweather fans" on social media. "Before critics and fans jump to conclusions after an injury, loss, etc. they should put themselves in the athletes' shoes ... But let's be honest, they never could because they aren't part of the 1.6%, the best in the world," she quipped (via Page Six). We're not sure the Browns will continue their winning streak, but we're convinced that Wilkinson will continue to stay by their quarterback's side either way.
