Philadelphia Eagles Wives and Girlfriends (WAGS)
The Story
- Let's be honest, this season has not been the dream season DeSean Jackson thought it would be. He started the season by holding out and reporting late to camp. The Eagles were suppose to be a "dream team" but instead will be watching the playoffs this year at home. On top of that Jackson has had a horrible season in a contract year while also getting suspended for a game when he failed to show up for a team meeting. Well we at Playerwives are happy to report that the Jackson's problems are an on-field issue only as he is doing more than fine off the field. Within the last week rumors have swirled that Jackson is dating pop singer and Dancing With The Stars cast member Mya. Numerous reports have the couple being spotted together over the last week including at the Philadelphia Sports Fans Choice Award night. For most guys Mya would be more than enough but not DeSean. Jackson was spotted get cozy with Esther Baxter at his birthday party. Esther for those who are not familiar with her work has been in music videos for Petey Pablo, Nelly and Kayne West along with a few movies.

The Story
- Through three years and 700 unique and researched posts, we've learned that professional athlete's date and marry extraordinarily gorgeous women, and frankly it doesn't matter how big of a household name the athlete truly is.
We used to point to Scott Podsednik's wife, Lisa Dergan as evidence that professional athlete's pull trim of an incommensurately higher level than their name alone would pull. We now have a new example.
Meet Julie Dorenbos, the wife of Eagles Pro-Bowl long snapper (yes, long snapper), Jon Dorenbos. The couple was married April 19, 2010 in front of 250 guests including many of Jon's teammates. The wedding took place at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Philadelphia, which also happened to be the church used in The Sixth Sense. Guests were then brought to a ceremony with a magic theme, inspired by Jon's moonlighting career as a magician. Moral of the story, kids? Long snapping magicians land wives like this.
Julie co-owns a spa called Skin Palette in Philadelphia. The spa specializes in air-brush spray tanning, photo rejuvenation and offers a pre-tanning skin hydration station (and no, I have no idea what any of that means). Julie co-owns the spa with one of Susie Celek, the wife of Jon's teammate, Brent Celek.

The Story
- Time Together: The two met in a physical education class while attending BYU together. They have been married since 1971 and have five children together; Garrett, Britt, Crosby, Drew Ann and Spencer. All five were born in different states.
- Fun Facts: In 2007, Garrett was involved in a car accident, following which he was charged with heroin, steroid and controlled pill possession. The Reid's knew he had previously struggled with drug addiction, and only after the arrest were they aware he had fallen off the wagon. Younger son, Brit, was also involved in a traffic altercation in which he allegedly pointed a gun at another driver.
After a period of silence, the Reid's delved into their family history in a long and candid interview with Philadelphia Magazine. Their detailed story chronicled both their struggles and successes, and was released to possibly help another family dealing with the same issues.

The Story
- Time Together: The two have been together since attending University of Cincinnati together.
- Quote: Brent caused a bit of controversy in a late season game in 2009 when he struck the Captain Morgan pose in a TD celebration. This came on the heels of Captain Morgan promising to donate money to Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund, a non-profit group that assists former NFL players. Even though Brent apologized for the pose, the NFL refused to allow Captain Morgan's to donate to the fund (seriously... we're not kidding). However, the whole idea was apparently not Brent's alone.
“First of all I apologize to the NFL and the Eagles organization. I didn’t feel like it was going to blow up like this. It started out as a small charity deal for my wife, who works for Captain Morgan, and obviously it blew up bigger than that. Again, I’m sorry if it offended anyone, but it won’t happen again.”
