Carson Wentz has found his new home in the Red Army. Reportedly, after agreeing to a year-long contract, the quarterback will be packing his bags and moving to the Kansas City Chiefs as a backup QB for the Super Bowl MVP, Patrick Mahomes. While the shift is a crucial step in Wentz’s life, having played for a couple of teams, the Chiefs have also secured a strong deal with such an experienced backup quarterback in their franchise.

Wentz has played with multiple teams since 2016, also experiencing his 2017 Super Bowl win with the Eagles underway. During this time only, the athlete also committed his forever to his now wife, Madison Wentz. “Maddie” Oberg, who is his biggest cheerleader, has always supported the professional through thick and thin. Her unconditional care has always been a constant for the veteran QB on and off the gridiron.

While not much is known about Madison Oberg, it is evident that she shares a passion for activism. The proof of the same is the AO1 Foundation established by Oberg and her husband Carson Wentz. Its mission statement is “Uplifting individuals and communities around the world by demonstrating God’s love for his people. ” Numerous sources claim that Oberg is a native of Kentucky and has been a part of the Mobilization Hospitality Team in Haiti.

Even though the exact dating timeline of Madison and Carson is not known, the duo bonded over their mutual passion for charitable work.

Their relationship started to surface publicly in November 2017, as Wentz started a Thanksgiving photo featuring Oberg on his Instagram.
