Who Is Jarrett Stidham’s Wife? Inside the Broncos’ Backup QB’s Marriage
For the first time since 2023, Jarrett Stidham will be starting in an NFL game when the Denver Broncos take on the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship on Sunday, January 25. After Bo Nix‘s season-ending injury in last week’s Divisional Round, the team’s backup quarterback will have to take the lead ahead of the 2026 Super Bowl.
As he returns to the field in the do-or-die game, Jarrett will have the support of his wife, Kennedy Stidham (née Brown). The two have been in a relationship for a decade.

Ultimately so proud of these boys & what they have accomplished this so far. do it for 10 [Nix]!!!!”

While Kennedy was at Baylor for all four years of college, Jarrett only spent one year there. After his freshman year in 2015, he transferred to McLennan Community College for one semester, then went to Auburn University to continue his football career in 2017. He played with the Tigers for two seasons, then declared for the NFL Draft in 2019, the same year Kennedy graduated.
It was a big year for the couple, as they also got married in June 2019, just two months after Jarrett was drafted to the New England Patriots. He was on the team for the 2019, 2020, and 2021 seasons before being traded to the Los Angeles Raiders in 2022. He signed a two-year contract with the Broncos in 2023, then extended that contract in 2025.
Kennedy has been by Jarrett’s side throughout his NFL career.
Does Jarrett Stidham have kids?
Yes, Jarrett and Kennedy are parents to three children. Their first child, daughter Lennon, was born in April 2022, followed by son Madden in March 2024 and daughter Nella in October 2025.
After Nella was born, the Stidhams wasted no time bringing her to her first NFL game. On October 29, 2025, when she was just a few weeks old, she joined her mom and siblings on the sidelines to cheer for their dad.
