Kirk Cousins is the quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings. The 12-year veteran has had the best season of his career in terms of record, and he has led the Vikings to their first playoff spot since 2019 and their first NFC North title since 2017. This season, Cousins was also the leader of the team that made the biggest comeback in NFL football history.
Kirk Cousins helped the Vikings come back from a 33-point deficit against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. Cousins could not have had such a great season without a lot of support at home. We will look at Julie Hampton Cousins, Kirk Cousins’s wife, who is the leader of his support system.
Julie Hampton was born and raised in Atlanta. She went to the University of Georgia in Athens after she graduated from high school. Scott and Steve Hampton are her brothers. Even though she has lived in Washington, DC, and Minnesota as an adult, she is still a huge fan of the Falcons, the team from her hometown.
After college, Hampton got a job as a teacher in an elementary school. When she first started dating Cousins, she worked in that field. When they lived in Washington, where her husband played football for the Washington Redskins, they helped out with charity work.
Julie Hampton is a religious woman, and that shows in the way she tries to help the community in any way she can. She posts a lot on Instagram, but she rarely talks about her personal life. For example, her husband’s Twitter account said she had emergency surgery in 2020, but she never told anyone that.
She is known as a businesswoman and the co-founder of the Julie & Kirk Cousins Foundation in addition to being Kirk’s wife.

Kirk Cousins‘s proposal to Julie Hampton wasn’t like most others. It took careful planning and the help of many people. Cousins knew his congressman from his hometown, Bill Huizenga of Michigan, pretty well, so he decided to ask him for a favor. Cousins said, “I called him to ask if I could ask her to marry me on the balcony of the Speaker of the House’s office. I had been there before and thought the view was great. He told them they could do it.”
A week before Thanksgiving was chosen as a good time, and on November 22, 2013, the well-planned and well-executed proposal took place. The pictures of the proposal taken by the congressman’s staff showed the background he liked, so it was a picture-perfect moment.
Kirk has been married to Julie Hampton Cousins since 2014. According to reports, they met through a mutual friend and dated for a year and a half before he proposed.
The famous couple also bought the Clearbrook Golf Course in Saugatuck, Michigan, in November 2022.
“Our family just bought the Clearbrook Golf Course from our longtime friends Jim and Candy Jeltema,” they said in a statement, which was published in the Holland Sentinel.
“They have been in charge of the course for many years, making Clearbrook a place where people can meet and have fun. There are no concrete plans to change the course,” it is said. “We’ve talked and dreamed about how the course could be made better, and we’ll keep doing that in the days to come,” the couple said.
