Joe Buck Married Cheerleader Michelle Beisner In 2014
Since marriage, Joe Buck and Michelle Beisner have built a solid and happy life together. They first met in late 2012, and their dating rumors started in the 2013 Super Bowl.
Michelle’s then-NFL Network colleague, Rich Eisen, introduced them. Rich called her and explained that someone in his booth wanted her phone number.
Michelle had a boyfriend at the time, but she was also curious about the mystery person. Later, Joe texted her, “Still live with that boyfriend of yours? Well, that’s dumb.”
From his National Car Rental commercial, she had assumed Joe was smug and arrogant. However, her initial impression of him was wrong, and she admitted he was the opposite.
She ended things with her then-boyfriend and began dating Joe. He got tattoos to impress her, as she had commented that she loved men with tattoos.
The lovebirds married on April 14, 2014, and welcomed twin sons Wyat Joseph and Blake Andrew, born in April 2018, a day after Joe’s 49th birthday.
But it took us a long time to get to this point. We went through IVF, and I can tell you there is not much that’s more financially, emotionally, physically taxing than in vitro fertilization.
