02-28-2012: Like Emmitt Smith and Hines Ward before him, Donald Driver is the most recent NFL star to appear on Dancing with the Stars. Driver was named to the season 14 cast today, along with Martina Navratilova, Maria Menounos and, best of all, none other than Steve Urkel – Jaleel White.
Donald Driver’s wife Betina hails from Cleveland, Mississippi where she graduated from Cleveland High School. After high school, the two attended Alcorn State together, where they met in a college weight room. Betina received a degree in Criminal Justice from Alcorn State. Donald and Betina were married in 2000 and have two children: son Christian and daughter Christina.
The Driver’s are deeply involved in charitable endeavors, most notably with the Donald Driver Foundation, which helps families with ill children and overwhelming or unmanageable medical bills. Betina is the President and Director of the Donald Driver Foundation.
On a personal side, Betina has also competed in fitness competitions. In 2007, she finished 14th at the Women’s Fitness World Championships held in Las Vegas. The competition required she perform a variety of physically demanding events.

Who wears the pants in this relationship? Trick question, they have the same pants size.
beautiful family
Mr. and Mrs. Driver, you have a beautiful family. You should be very proud!
Hello, I am on the board of directors for the Kimberly House (transitional living for recovering drug and alcoholics) we are a non for profit in Sturgeon Bay WI and would love to put together an event with the Packer Wives to help us raise some money. How would we put something together and do you have any thoughts on this. It would be really cool for Sturgeon Bay and the Kimberly House which is a very much needed organization in Sturgeon Bay. We would love to expand as well because we have 4 beds which are full right now with men but there are times when we have to turn people away because we just dont have the room. 2 bedrooms so either all men or women in a room. The Kimberly House has helped many people with sobriety and would love to be able to continue for years to come. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
BEAUTIFUL FAMILY
A couple like this in this time and age is an extinct thing, you don’t see too many chocolate couples out there. 2 dark skin people together where does that happen today.
You got that right James! And yes, they are a beautiful, black family.
2012…And we are totally shocked (I know I was) to see 2 darkskinned people on T.V (sans Good Times in the 70s)…and to be married to each other…it’s truly amazing…What a gorgeous family…
Hi Alcornites and fellow Deltains(?(lol)
You are truly an inspiring couple. Thanks for all you do for so many. If you are ever back in Cleveland, MS, be sure to stop in the other Big C(Clarksdale). Prayed for Donald on Dancing for the Stars. Got my fingers crossed. Just waiting. 9:54 p.m. Central time, May 22. Betina you are a beautiful lady and you have some beautiful children.
Congratulations. My prayers were answered.
[…] all due respect to Donald’s beautiful wife, Betina, that is one stunning […]
Congratulations to another graduate from a “SWAC” college [I’m from the other ASU (Alabama State University)and have two grandchildren about the ages of your current two–one with a middle name “Christin]. Keep up the good work and we wish the very best for you and your beautiful family.
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
David Carr, we’ll send you the LensCrafters coupon in Sunday’s paper. You need glasses — NOW. LOL Betina Driver is clearly a relatively slender lady. After giving birth to two children, she placed in the top tier of a fitness contest — while wearing a bikini. You’re clearly envious of Donald having a beautiful, intelligent, morally-upstanding wife. Go back to your blow-up doll and leave normal people alone!
tina you are so blessed. to God be the glory! (schricka”s mom)
Great to see an athletes wife involved in charity and fitness instead of drama and all the other superficial things these other players wives get into!
Seems like a lot of you are conditioned and brainwashed to think that black men don’t get with black women…they do and this is the case the MAJORITY of the time….more than half the black men on this website are dating or married to black women. The problem is that you see the ones that aren’t exposed the most and more often. don’t get it twisted.
My favorite athlete with a fit wife, Beautiful together
I’m so proud to see you the beautiful woman person that you are I do not know you but you are me.
She’s the type of woman who will never age. Btw beautiful children.
Damn, that is the tastiest-looking WAG I’ve ever seen! She looks like she was carved from a block of chocolate! Definitely the hottest NFL wife EVER.
Two children and yet fit and in tip-top shape. No excuses for the rest of us!
Betina you are a Queen in every Meaning of the Word..
hey this is jasmine sanchez
