Pat McAfee has made a name for himself in several different arenas, from being an NFL punter to a WWE star to hosting a successful show on ESPN.
McAfee’s father-in-law died earlier this year. His sudden demise had rocked the entire family, especially McAfee’s wife, Samantha. On Wednesday, she shared pictures of her family and explained the importance of family and her love for her husband and daughter Mackenzie.
“If I have taken anything away from losing my father so suddenly, it would be how important family is. I feel incredibly lucky to get to experience motherhood, have a great marriage and to have had a childhood with amazing parents. It has taken some time to really get 'used' to this new normal,” Samantha wrote in the caption of the post.
“However, in some weird way it has made me a better mother, wife and daughter. I love these humans of mine, they have saved my life in so many ways. Patrick & Mackenzie, you are the greatest reason to wake up everyday and be the best version of myself. Every day is a bit more special simply because of how lucky I am to get a life with you two.”
Pat and Samantha married in 2020 after dating for more than three years. The couple was blessed with Mackenzie in 2023.
