When the Arizona Cardinals acquired tight end Zach Ertz in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, he already had a connection with defensive lineman J.J. Watt, who was new to the team after signing as a free agent last offseason. Ertz’ wife Julie and Watt’s wife Kealia were teammates on the Chicago Red Stars, a professional soccer team in the NWSL.

Ertz announced in April that his wife is expecting.
