Kansas City Chiefs player Harrison Butker has attracted attention for his actions off the football field. Recently, the NFL kicker sparked outrage after speaking at a graduation ceremony at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas.
During his speech at the graduation on May 11, 2024, the 28-year-old Harrison addressed the female graduates, stating that they had been told «the most devilish lies».
«How many of you are sitting here right now, ready to walk across this stage, and thinking about all the promotions and titles you will receive in your career?» asked the Super Bowl champion. «Some of you may continue successful careers in the world, but I assume most of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world».
Harrison also faced criticism when he compared the LGBT+ Pride Month to «mortal sins» and said that men «set the tone for society, and when that is absent, disorder, dysfunction, and chaos ensue».
While Hollywood stars and the public are speaking out about his statements, learn more about the athlete below:
Harrison has been married to Isabella Butker since 2018, and they have a son and a daughter. Their love story began when they first met in a music class in high school. According to Page Six, they transitioned from friendship to a relationship while dating in Westminster High School in Atlanta.
While his then-girlfriend Isabella was studying at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, Harrison continued to play football at Georgia Tech. He finished his career as the school’s all-time leading scorer with 337 points and 208 made field goals.
Although Harrison and Patrick may be teammates, they do not seem to have the closest relationship. Appearing on Pat McAfee’s show shortly after the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory in February 2024, Patrick said he does not communicate with the kicker. «Honestly, I haven’t talked to Harrison all year, man. I just let him do his thing», - he said. «But I know if I get that 40-yard stretch, he’s going to put it through. I know if you’ve seen in the game, I’m a little under pressure, threw it short and knew Harrison would kick it».
If you’re curious about Harrison’s «Wildest Dreams», - it might just be seeing his buddy propose to Taylor. «I hope they get married and start a family», - he said on EWTN News in Depth in March 2024, describing the Grammy winner as «humble» and «kind». Harrison also recalled meeting Taylor on New Year’s Eve after a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. «She thinks it’s amazing that I can kick the ball so far through the goalposts», - he said. «It was a wonderful experience, and I can’t say enough good things about her».
According to Us Weekly, Harrison’s mother, Elizabeth Butker, has been working as a medical physicist in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Emory University since 1988. She specializes in brachytherapy and Gamma Knife medical physics, according to a 2020 article from the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University
