Lions quarterback Jared Goff and his fiancée, Christen Harper, are a dating app success story, according to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model.
In a teaser trailer for the YouTube series “Women of the League,” premiering Tuesday, Harper shared how the couple first met, while the quarterback was with the Rams and she was working and living in LA.
“We met on a dating app,” Harper said. “We are a dating app success story. I wasn’t really looking for anything at the time and I was just kind of being single and having fun.
“I met him through the dating app and he was very persistent trying to take me out on a date and he kept trying and trying — and finally it was like a Thursday night and I was like, ‘Ok, I have nothing else to do, I might as well go out on a date.’”
Harper admitted that she was hooked on Goff as soon as the pair met.
“Literally, he picked me up and I was like ‘oh shoot, dang it, he got me,’” she said. “From that moment on, we just talked every day since then. Now it’s been almost four years.”
