NFL star Darren Waller is married to WNBA star Kelsey Plum. The two made headlines when they decided to tie the knot early this year. However, it wasn’t the lovely couple who announced their marriage publicly. Instead, their wedding plans got leaked by mistake.
The Las Vegas Raiders traded Darren Waller to the New York Jets in March this year. However, before the trade, the Raiders’ HC Josh McDaniels did something that he wasn’t supposed to do. The head coach reportedly leaked the details of the star tight end’s marriage plans with Kelsey Plum.
As per The Athletic’s reporter Vic Tafur, McDaniels spilled the beans to reporters during the NFL Scouting Combine. The media further published it in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which upset Darren Waller. It was a big step as the Maryland-born star and the point guard hadn’t announced their wedding at that time. Tafur took to X to reveal the incident that made Waller and Plum upset.
The trade comes 10 days after Darren Waller’s wedding to Aces guard Kelsey Plum. The timing is only interesting because Josh McDaniels accidentally leaked the news of his wedding to reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine. …

“Waller was upset with McDaniels when the Las Vegas Review-Journal posted a story announcing the wedding was scheduled later in the week. The couple had not publicly announced their plans to get married,” he wrote.
After Darren Waller and the Las Vegas Aces star tied the knot, Tafur shared another post. He mentioned how the duo got married and coach McDaniels’ gift to them was Waller’s trade. However, it was 5-foot-8 Kelsey Plum’s reply that gained the limelight. She mentioned in an X post that they didn’t invite the HC to the wedding. “Prolly cause he wasn’t invited to the wedding lol,” she wrote.
The step by the 47-year-old HC was undoubtedly not justifiable. It must have been a big blow to 6-foot-6 Darren Waller and Plum. However, despite all this, the couple handled the situation with grace.
