(14 March 2000 - present) (4 children)
son Braden Steven Young, born on December 8th, 2000
Steve Young’s wife Barbara Graham first met him through a friend in the early 1990s, which coincided in the height of his career. Clearly, this did not impress her and they never went on a date. She reconsidered in 1999, when they went on a blind date. Shortly after they were married in Hawaii in March 2000, Young joked that if she had just realized she liked him back then, they could already have 5 kids. Well, I should say partially joked because they wasted literally no time in having their first – first son Braeden was born 9 months after their wedding. In true Mormon fashion, the couple is up to 4 children, consisting of two boys and two girls.
Graham is a former model and graduate of University of Arizona. Out of college she worked in public relations but we’re pretty sure she is busy raising kids now. Despite the timing, Graham said she did not influence Young’s decision to retire after the 1999 season, stating she would have supported him either way.
Young was initially quiet post-retirement, but that didn’t mean he was sitting around doing nothing. He received a law degree from BYU Law School in 1995. Another interested related note is that Young is the great-great-great grandson of Brigham Young, who is the school’s namesake and was the second president. More recently, Young has been back in the spotlight as part of ESPN football crew. He also appears in advertisements for multiple companies including Van Heusen.
