IN PHOTOS: Chargers target Dalton Risner celebrates anniversary with wife Whitney in Cabo
Dalton Risner and his wife celebrated their first marriage anniversary in a peaceful manner in Cabo.
The social media influencer and offensive lineman tied the knot a year ago and have been living in marital bliss. While the last season for Risner and the Denver Broncos was not an impressive one, he is a free agent now.
Whitney Risner uploaded a series of pictures on Instagram that showed the hotel they were staying at. She also snapped shots of her husband, who looked like he was just about to take a dip in the ocean.
Before flying off to the pristine beaches of Cabo, the couple was spotted attending an NBA Finals game between the Denver Nuggets and the LA Lakers.
How did Dalton Risner’s wife rise to fame?
Whitney Risner recently garnered a million followers on TikTok. She started posting NFL game day content on TikTok in 2020. Even though she received negative responses, engagement was high.
She said, as per The New York Post:
“I remember getting so much hate in the beginning, but crazy enough that just sparked the algorithm and that’s kind of how it took off. People were either positive, saying that I had the dream life, or commenting, ‘You are so cringe. Your husband’s your personality.’
“It was one extreme to the next, and both pushed the algorithm to give me more engagement.”
Whitney is now a full-time influencer who has worked with brands like Snickers. She even traveled to New York Fashion Week on behalf of the Revolve brand.
Dalton Risner and Whitney initially became aware of each other through their respective athletic pursuits. Dalton played football at Kansas State, while Whitney, was a basketball player at Fort Hays State in Kansas.
Their first significant encounter occurred at the Lake of the Ozarks, where Dalton Risner was on vacation and Whitney’s parents had a house. Whitney also had a summer job in the area, providing them with the opportunity to meet and get to know each other better.
