Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is married to Brett Ashley Cantwell. A Missouri native, Cantwell grew up in Springfield and was working as a teacher when she met Sirianni. Despite her passion for her career, Cantwell left the profession to follow her husband's coaching gigs around the country—and it's a decision she doesn't regret. "I loved my job. I loved everything about Kansas City," she said to Colts.com in 2019. "I loved Nick more. So, it was all worth it."

2013: Nick Sirianni and Brett Ashley Cantwell Get Married
Following their Kansas City meet-cute, Nick Sirianni and his wife Brett dated for two years before they got married in Springfield. Shortly after Sirianni's wedding, he got hired by the Chargers (who were based in San Diego at the time), so Cantwell finished her school year before they packed their bags and moved to the West Coast. Although she was excited to support her husband's dream career, she opened up to Colts.com about how it was a challenging transition. "I was from Missouri and had never moved out of Missouri," she recalled. "I hit reality and realized I'm in the most beautiful place ever, but it's kind of difficult because he works all the time."

While they were stationed in California, Siranni and his wife welcomed their first child, son Jacob. In a 2022 interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer, Sirianni revealed that his eldest son isn't as football-obsessed as his dad. Instead, he's a budding baseball fan. "I've gotten to my share of games," he said. "I told my wife, 'I finally have a hobby.'"

Two years later, Sirianni and Cantwell welcomed their daughter, Taylor.

She gave fans a particularly funny moment in 2023 after the Eagles' NFC Championship victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Sirianni's three kids sat at the table with him, and Taylor hilariously mimicked her dad's facial expressions as he spoke to the press.

When they aren't sitting by their dad during press conferences, Nick Sirianni's kids are usually cheering for him on the field or attending special events with their dad. In September 2023, the coach's oldest son, Jacob, got to walk the red carpet with his parents for the premiere of Jason Kelce's Amazon Prime documentary Kelce in Philadelphia. Sirianni's parenting style was also on full display during a 2023 press conference, where Jacob sweetly gave up his seat for his sister, Taylor. "My man. Good job," Sirianni said to his eldest before telling reporters, "Gave up a seat for his little sister. That was pretty special."
