Breaking: Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker Makes Announcement About His Wife
Harrison Butker reveals major personal news about his wife, Isabelle Butker, during the bye week.
The Kansas City Chiefs headed into their bye week undefeated. After taking down the New Orleans Saints on Monday night, the Chiefs are 5-0 for the first time since 2018.
Harrison Butker, who became the highest-paid kicker in the NFL after the Chiefs signed him to a four-year $25.6 million contract in August, remains reliable. He has connected on 12-of-14 field goal attempts and 10-of-11 extra points this season.
The Chiefs have a huge game upon their return in Week 7: a Super Bowl rematch against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on Oct. 20.
During the bye, Butker hit the campaign trail with conservative Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, who’s seeking reelection. While Butker’s presidential endorsement of Donald Trump during an appearance on Fox News dominated headlines, the 29-year-old’s announcement about his wife almost slipped by.
The public knew Butker and Isabelle shared two children: They’ve appeared with their dad on the field after Super Bowl victories. However, the Georgia Tech alumnus casually revealed they had welcomed a third baby during his appearance with Hawley on “The Ingraham Angle.”
Butker previously noted in his bio at MDKeller that they had “a third on the way,” however, that section of website has since been made private. Neither Butker nor his wife publicly announced the birth of their third child.
“I was trying to speak life for so many women that have dedicated their life to being the homemaker, being the one that raises the children,”Butker told Ingraham of his controversial commencement speech at Benedictine College in May.
“I know it may be countercultural to speak those values … but I was also experience my wife now that we have three children, being able to be present with the children, the amazing bond we have.”
While host Laura Ingraham famously told LeBron James in 2018 to “shut up and dribble” and that it was “unwise to seek political advice from someone who gets paid $100 million a year to bounce a ball,” she pressed Butker on his presidential endorsement.
“I think you have to vote for whoever is going to be the most-pro life,” Butker responded. “And we have to be prayerful men that put God first, and I think that’s what’s going to be best for our country.”
