Cooper Kupp has been a standout wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams since 2017, but ask him what matters most, and football won’t be the only thing on his mind. His marriage to his wife Anna Croskrey has been going strong for over a decade, and together, they’ve built a life centered around faith, family, and raising their three children.
Kupp has been called “an absolute warrior” for the way the NFL star leads both on and off the field, and that dedication extends to his home life. While fans know him for his record-breaking plays, there’s a whole other side to him that unfolds behind the scenes.
So, who is Anna Croskrey, and what’s life like in the Kupp household? Here’s a closer look at their love story, parenthood, and everything in between.
Who Is Cooper Kupp’s Wife, Anna Croskrey?
Croskrey is an athlete, a supporter, and the backbone of their family. Long before becoming a dedicated NFL wife, Anna was making a name for herself in sports, competing in basketball, volleyball, track, and cross country during high school. She later became a heptathlete, competing at both the University of Arkansas and Eastern Washington University.
These days, Anna’s still active, playing in a women’s basketball league alongside Kelly Stafford, the wife of Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.
But beyond her own athletic pursuits, the celebrity spouse has always been Cooper’s biggest supporter. While fans see Kupp’s dominance on the field, Anna has been behind the scenes, making sure her man could chase his dreams without worry.
“It’s hard to put into words,” Kupp told ESPN when asked about his wife’s role in his career. “I just don’t think I can sit here and tell you just off the top of my head and have it do her the justice that She deserves for all this.”

Their partnership goes all the way back to college, where Anna worked full-time to support them financially, even taking a job at a local restaurant so Kupp could focus on football. “I supported us monetarily through college,” the doting wife and mom shared. “I was working full time so that He didn’t have to worry about that.”
Cooper and Anna Have Been Together Since Their High School
They first met at a high school track meet when Anna handed Cooper a medal after an event. For Kupp, it was love at first sight.
By 2012, they were officially dating as high school seniors—Cooper at Davis High School in Yakima, Washington, and Anna at Richland High School nearby. But when it came time for college, their relationship became long-distance. Cooper headed to Eastern Washington University to play football, while Anna went to the University of Arkansas to pursue her own athletic career.
Despite the distance, neither of them ever doubted their relationship. “We just were so aligned in terms of what our goals were and what we wanted to do moving forward,” Kupp once said. “And the belief that football was the community, was the place that I was supposed to be, that we were supposed to be, and that’s where God placed us.”
By the second half of 2014, they knew they didn’t want to live separately anymore. That March, Cooper popped the question, making it clear that whatever the future held, they were in it together.
They Married in 2015
Cooper and Anna made it official on June 20, 2015, celebrating their wedding in Yakima, Washington, right after finishing their sophomore year of college. The venue, Oakshire Estate & Airfield, was packed with more than 400 guests, though that was already a trimmed-down list from the original 800.

With both of them coming from tight-knit communities, it was impossible to keep the guest list small. But Anna knew inviting all of Cooper’s college teammates would be a gamble. “I was like, ‘OK, I know I’m not going to get any RSVPs—these are college guys,'” She joked. Eventually, they managed to bring the list down to a more manageable number.
One of the more unique details? Guests had to bring their own alcohol. Anna’s parents didn’t drink, and they weren’t about to splurge on booze for a massive wedding crowd. “We weren’t trying to be stingy, but at the same time, my dad’s not gonna pay for that,” Anna explained.
The result? A wedding where some of Kupp’s teammates rolled up with six-packs in hand, placing them right on the reception tables. “It was a lot of fun,” said Wagner, Kupp’s best man, recalling the casual, party-like atmosphere.
Looking back on their early years of marriage, Anna summed it up simply: “It’s been a fun, great, crazy ride.”
Cooper and His Wife Anna Croskrey Are Proud Parents of Three Kids
Cooper and Anna’s love story didn’t just lead to a lasting marriage—it also gave them a growing family. The couple are proud parents to three sons, each with a name as unique as their bond.
Their firstborn, Cooper Jameson Kupp, arrived on July 3, 2018. Nicknamed “June” (short for Junior), the boy was the first to make them parents. Three years later, their second son, Cypress Stellar Kupp, was born on January 17, 2021. And in June 2023, they welcomed their third son, Solas Reign Kupp.
“Born into his mother’s arms, we are so thankful for the blessing of this third little soul we get to raise up into a man of God!” the couple shared in a heartfelt Instagram post after Solas’ birth.
Their family isn’t just made up of little Kupps, though. They also have a dog named Elouise, lovingly called Lo.
During the NFL season, the Kupp family calls Westlake Village, California home, but once the season wraps up, they pack up and head to Wilsonville, Oregon to enjoy the offseason.
