Kobie Turner has a devoted supporter both on and off the field: his fiancée, Alissa Villanueva.

The Los Angeles Rams player met Villanueva in high school choir, and the pair started dating in December 2017. After years of a long-distance relationship, they got engaged in April 2023. From cheering him on from the football field sidelines to celebrating his surprising reveal as Goo on season 12 of The Masked Singer, Villanueva has been by Turner’s side every step of the way.

During Barbie Night on The Masked Singer, Goo dropped a sweet clue about his identity by opening up about the "future Mrs. Goo."

"Barbie is all about empowering young women, showing them you can achieve your dreams," Goo said. "And there's one go-getter gal in my life, my fiancée."

He also shared the moment he realized she was the one. While at a theme park, Turner admitted he was feeling "grumpy" and sitting alone on a bench when Villanueva approached him with an unexpected gesture.

"I looked up and saw her hand — she was asking me to dance," Goo said. "I instantly melted at her kindness, playfulness, and confidence. I realized in that moment I'd met my mushy match, and I cannot wait to become her Mr. Goo next year."

He added, "She's encouraged me to be as playful as her by doing this, so tonight's performance is for her, the most independentist of women."

So who is Kobie Turner's fiancée? Here's everything to know about Alissa Villanueva and her relationship with the athlete.

She went to high school in Washington, D.C.

According to her Instagram, Villanueva graduated from Centreville High School in Washington, D.C. in 2018 — which is also where her love story with Turner began.

Villanueva shared on TikTok that she met Turner while in choir class during her sophomore and his junior year. They grew closer while on a choir trip to Disney a year later and began developing feelings for one another while preparing for an upcoming duet.

"I literally panicked in the beginning of the song and forgot the words, but Kobie helped me and I was able to sing it," she said. "During this whole process, I really started to fall for Kobie hard. He is one of the most encouraging and helpful people I know."

Villanueva added that he "really helps push you to do the things that you really want to do."

In June 2017, she posted a photo with Turner and two other classmates on Instagram in which she thanked them for "making this year amazing."

They started dating in December 2017

Turner and Villanueva began officially dating in December 2017, according to her Instagram. However, she shared on TikTok that they had begun developing feelings for one another nearly nine months earlier.

When Turner left for college ahead of Villanueva, their relationship quickly transitioned into a long-distance one.

By February 2023, Villanueva shared on TikTok that they had been "doing long distance" for six years and that "the goodbyes never get easier."

Turner proposed to Villanueva in April 2023

In April 2023, Villanueva announced on Instagram that she and Turner had gotten engaged.

"FINALLY!" she wrote. "Forever and always yes!!"

Meanwhile, Turner wrote that he was "stepping forward into a new life" with Villanueva.

In April 2024, she shared on TikTok that they had chosen a wedding date and venue and would be married by the spring of 2025.

From celebrating his scholarship to the University of Richmond to showing him love on the sidelines, Villanueva has supported Turner over the years.

Following his first year on the Rams, Villanueva wrote on Instagram that she was "so proud" of him.

"You truly gave it your all and took every opportunity to improve and grow," Villanueva wrote. "Watching you achieve your dreams is my favorite thing and seeing you be YOU on and off the field is inspiring."

She also supports Turner in his music ventures. After Turner was revealed to be Goo on The Masked Singer in December 2024, Villanueva wrote on Instagram that she "cried every show" at "how proud" she was of her fiancé.

"Seeing Kobie be his true authentic self and showing that you don't have to be put into one category is so special," Villanueva wrote. "I’m so so proud of you, you’re one and only baby!"

She helped him find his "authentic voice" again

Following the big reveal on The Masked Singer, Turner expressed his gratitude to the many people who contributed to the experience, including Villanueva.

"To Ali, thank you for helping me find my authentic voice again, and pushing me to new limits," Turner wrote on Instagram in December 2024.

Though Villanueva was supporting him throughout the show behind the scenes, the couple had shared the stage together before.

In December 2017, Villanueva shared a video on Instagram of the two singing Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" while sitting in onesies. This was followed by another duet in June 2018, when she posted a video of them on stage together performing The Beatles' "Blackbird," with Villanueva singing and Turner accompanying on guitar.

She documents their life together on TikTok

Villanueva has documented her life with Turner for many years on TikTok, from their cross-country move to California to making their first home-cooked meal in their new apartment — and her videos might just be his secret weapon on the field.

In November 2023, she made a TikTok joking, "Hey Kobie, isn't it so crazy that because of my TikTok you got nominated for rookie of the week?"

"You're my good luck charm," Turner responded. "Let's keep doing whatever it is you're doing. The TikTok gods love it and they're loving up on me."
