Julie Hampton ain’t digging her hubby’s new vibe. Kirk Cousins, the Minnesota Vikings quarterback, has been flaunting a fresh new mustache in the lead-up to the 2023 NFL season. He grew it out for “Mustache Monday,” this fun tradition he’s been getting in on.
Even though Cousins himself admitted how goofy the stache looks, he’s still sporting it all week. As for Julie, she ain’t too thrilled. Kirk Cousins talked to the media earlier at training camp, about their final practice with the Arizona Cardinals. He also had a bit of fun chatting about his ever-changing mustache while expressing an aspiration to maintain a Hulk Hogan-style mustache.

At the media session, the quarterback stated that “Mustache Monday” turned into a whole “Mustache Week.” It turns out that Cousins is even having a good time with it. The quarterback is also challenging his teammate Justin Jefferson to grow one too.
The fans in the NFL world are loving it, taking to social media to show love for Cousins’ bold new style. However, his wife Julie isn’t a big fan, though she gets it.
“Julie doesn’t like it. I told her ‘I just kind of looked like I was on the Oregon Trail’ but she’s good she understands mustache week needs to happen.” – the Vikings Quarterback told the press.
Cousins just had to poke some fun at himself, saying he’s looking like he belongs on the Oregon Trail. But Kirk’s standing firm got a car dealership gig lined up, and he’s all about rocking that look. He’s even cool with wearing it during the game, and then it’s coming off.
“I’m thinking I will probably be at the game like this, which I’m totally good with, and then it’ll come off.” – Kirk Cousins said.
Cousins and the Vikings are kicking off their 2023 season with a Week 1 showdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
