True Hollywood Stories: Football Wives Premiere |
| Venue: | E! |
|---|
| Date: | 'Thursday, 7th January ' |
|---|
| Time: | @ 8:30pm |
|---|
Stereotypes about the relationships of out-of-control NFL stars abound. The image of violent, promiscuous party animals - tempted by drugs, booze, and gold-digging groupies - as seen in Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday - makes it hard to imagine how football wives be anything but hard-as-nails predators.
But not all are money-grubbing floozies or bimbos. And the old saying - that behind every great man there stands a woman - applies just as much to pro-football as to any other career. Still, football wives do enjoy the perks that come with being married to a pro athlete: big houses, big cars, fame - and plenty of bling. But they also face the same challenges as other celebrity wives: the scrutiny of life in the public eye, the threat of groupies, and lots of alone time when hubby is on the road.
THS explores the ups and downs of some of the NFL's hottest - and most diverse - wives. They include: Jennifer Walcott (Adam Archuletta), October Gonzalez (Tony Gonzalez), Christy Cooley (Chris Cooley) and Carmen Cousin (Terry Cousin). |
