Notre Dame football head coach Marcus Freeman has never shied away from professing his love for his support system off the field: wife Joanna Freeman.

Marcus and Joanna got married in 2010 after meeting while Marcus was a star linebacker at The Ohio State University. Along the way, they have welcomed six kids together: son Vinny, daughter Siena, son Gino, son Nico, daughter Capri and son Rocco.

Before being named the head coach at Notre Dame in December 2021, Marcus’ coaching journey took him all over — from his Ohio State alma mater and Kent State to Purdue and four seasons at the University of Cincinnati as the school’s defensive coordinator. 

Joanna, a former news anchor, has always been candid about the highs and lows of life as a football wife.
