Who is Isaac Rochell's Wife, Allison Kuch?
If you're familiar with Isaac Rochell, you probably know his wife, Allison Kuch. The NFL player's wife—whose full name is Allison Kucharczyk—has been in his life for a decade. Isaac Rochell and Allison Kuch met at a college party in 2014, while he was attending the University of Notre Dame and she was studying at Michigan State University. After a romantic first date at Starbucks, they embarked on a long-distance relationship for four years.
Though Isaac is known for his career in the NFL, Allison has an equally impressive resume. After graduating with her art degree in 2018, she began her career as an apprentice in Los Angeles. She went on to launch her own interior design company, Vesta Home, and has pursued a variety of creative endeavors, from graphic design to photography.
She's also a successful content creator, as evidenced by her three million followers on TikTok. Her account rose to viral fame as she began posting candid videos documenting life as the wife of an NFL player. She's become such a beloved figure that many have jokingly started referring to her husband as "Mr. Allison Kuch" and "Allison's Husband." When asked about the nicknames on the Making Moves Podcast, Isaac said, "I really am super proud of her, so I don't care. My teammates are like, 'How do you feel about the Mr. Kuch thing?' I'm like, boy, I'm not going to be playing football forever. I would rather my wife be super well-known. When this is all over, that's going to last a lot longer."

We can trace Isaac Rochell and Allison Kuch's relationship back to 2014 when they met at a college party. Allison opened up about their first encounter on the Fun on Weekdays podcast. "I ended up taking a train from Michigan State to Notre Dame to visit my sister because I was like, I need my security blanket," she recalled. "I was at a Notre Dame party and a guy came up to me and started talking to me, and I was like, let's take a shot. And at that time, Isaac didn't drink. Then, we got to talking and literally our first conversation was about love."

2017: Isaac Rochell and Allison Kuch Date Long Distance
The couple went on to date long distance as Allison finished her degree while Isaac was drafted to the Los Angeles Chargers in 2017. (He would go on to play for the Indianapolis Colts, the Cleveland Browns, and the Las Vegas Raiders, where he currently is.) On the podcast, they revealed that they took a short break due to the stress of living so far apart. "We had literally started dating when we were 19," Allison remembered. "You change so much from 19 to now, I'm 28. Taking a break set us up for success because we didn't talk the entire time. So we broke up, but we had a trip to Bali planned." Isaac added, "We went to Bali as a broken-up couple."

The wedding was officiated by the couple's close friend, and the couple recited personalized vows to each other.
String lights and tapered candles decorated the earthy outdoor reception space, where the couple enjoyed their first dance before cutting into a tiered white cake.
