Detroit Lions star tight end Sam LaPorta has officially entered a new chapter in his life — marriage. The rising NFL standout recently wed his longtime girlfriend, Callie Dellinger, in a quiet, intimate ceremony attended by only close family and friends. Known for keeping their relationship largely out of the public eye, the couple stayed true to form by choosing a private wedding away from the spotlight.
LaPorta and Dellinger’s love story began during their time at the University of Iowa. Sam was a standout on the Hawkeyes football team, while Callie competed as a collegiate rower. The two shared a strong bond built on mutual support, discipline, and a shared understanding of what it takes to succeed in elite athletics. Dellinger was often spotted in the stands cheering for LaPorta throughout his college and early NFL career.
