Jared Goff, Christen Harper ‘Loving Greece’
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is enjoying his honeymoon in Greece with Sports Illustratred Swimsuit model Christen Harper.
Goff has used the offseason before a pivotal NFL season for Detroit to travel and get married.
After attending the lavish wedding of former Michigan Wolverines quarterback Wilton Speight in Saint Tropez, Goff and his new bride headed to Greece to enjoy time together following an intimate wedding ceremony.
“Loving Greece a lot in case you were wondering,” Harper posted on her social media page.
The veteran signal-caller is coming off arguably the best season of his career, leading the Lions to the NFC Championship game. Unfortunately, the Lions were not able to capitalize on a 24-7 halftime lead. The San Francisco 49ers overcame the deficit to defeat the Lions and advance to the Super Bowl.
Jared Goff Attends ‘Wedding of the Century’ of Former Michigan Quarterback
In 2023, Goff recorded 4,575 passing yards and was fourth in the NFL in touchdown tosses with 30.
After leading the Lions to two playoff victories, the former Los Angeles Rams quarterback was rewarded with a lucrative, four-year contract extension worth $212 million.
Goff married Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Christen Harper in Ojai, California this offseason. The couple started dating in 2019 and were officially engaged in 2022.
Soon, the 29-year-old will report to the Lions’ Allen Park practice facility to begin training camp ahead of the 2024 season.
Goff expressed during a recording of the Trading Cards Podcast, “In hindsight, being traded to Detroit was the greatest thing that ever happened to me, for my career and my development as a human.”
The Paramore frontwoman appears to be mapping out tour dates behind her 2025 solo album, ‘Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.’
Hayley Williams will soon have a date with Detroit.
The Paramore frontwoman’s website was updated Saturday with a list of cities underneath the header, “cu_soon.jpg.”
Detroit was one of 28 cities listed on the itinerary, along with Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati, Raleigh and Los Angeles, and a handful of South American cities.
Over the course of the last week, Williams, 37, has been slowly rolling out dates on her latest solo tour, which comes on the heels of her 2025 solo album “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.” An earlier round of touring behind the project did not include a Detroit date.
The singer’s last local visit came when Paramore played Little Caesars Arena in June 2023.

What is the PWHL playoff format?
USAT’s Sam Cardona-Norberg breaks down all the rules you need to know for the start of the 2026 PWHL Playoffs.
Sports Seriously
Is a professional women’s hockey team coming to Detroit?
The answer is not fully clear yet, but the buzz for Hockeytown to get a Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) team very soon is real.
Denise Ilitch, who’s family owns the Detroit Red Wings, the Tigers and Little Caesars Arena (her brother Christopher Ilitch runs the day-to-day operations), predicted the PWHL was coming to Detroit earlier this year.
“I believe we’ll be getting a team in Detroit soon, which really excites me,” Ilitch said on her “Denise Ilitch Show” podcast on March 31.
Ilitch also serves on the Board of Regents at the University of Michigan and has been a strong advocate for a U-M women’s hockey team in recent years.
Media reports from the New York Times and The Hockey News also indicate that Detroit may be next in line for an expansion team, after the league added two teams last month in Seattle and Vancouver. The league is looking to 2-4 teams by 2026-27.
The PWHL has made tour stops to Detroit four times in the last three years and some of the best women’s hockey players in the nation are from Michigan, including Megan Keller, who was the hero for Team USA women’s hockey at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
During the 2023-24 season, 13,736 hockey fans set an attendance record at the time for a professional women’s hockey game in the United States.
The PWHL, which celebrated its first season in 2023-24, has gained extra interest since the 2026 Winter Olympics.
If Detroit got a PWHL team, some fans hope that could push the University of Michigan and Michigan State University to eventually add Division I women’s hockey programs.
The league’s last appearance in Detroit on March 28, 2026, featured a 3-1 Montreal Victoire win over the New York Sirens in front of 15,938 fans at Little Caesars Arena.
The Free Press reached out to officials with the city of Detroit, but they did not immediately provide comment.
