Details emerge from the couple's relationship

The couple went public with their relationship all the way back in 2024. They've been together for more than two years.

Springer, 37, is entering his third season with the Patriots. He was previously an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Rams.

Burton, meanwhile, has shined in the sports media world for a while. She previously worked as a sideline reporter for ESPN. Prior to that, Burton worked at NFL Media and Western Mass News based in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Springer played college football, while Burton played collegiate basketball.

The Patriots, who are coming off a Super Bowl appearance, are hoping to open the season in big form. New England will start the year on Sept. 9 in a Super Bowl rematch, taking on the Seattle Seahawks at 8:20 p.m. E.T.
