The legendary quarterback Kurt Warner rose from the grocery store shelves to Super Bowl glory, boasting a Hall of Fame career marked by MVP honors, precision, records, and resilience. His extraordinary NFL career made him a football icon. But beyond football, there’s another powerful chapter in his life- his wife, Brenda Warner.

Born in Parkersburg, West Virginia, Brenda Warner is currently a motivational speaker and philanthropist. She is also the co-founder of the First Things First Foundation, which works on charitable and family-focused initiatives. Additionally, she is a proud mother of seven children.

Who Is Kurt Warner’s Wife, Brenda Warner?

Born on 17 June 1967, Brenda’s full name is Brenda Carney Meoni Warner. She was a cheerleader and a “Jesus freak” during her high school years. Although she wanted to attend college after completing her high school education, she didn’t want to be a financial burden on her parents, who were already struggling financially. That’s why she joined the Marines. She then received a hardship discharge from the Marines to care for her son.

How did Kurt Warner and Brenda Warner meet?

Brenda met Kurt while line dancing. Brenda was encouraged by her mom to get out of the house, and since her mom liked line dancing, she ended up line dancing at a country western bar in northern Iowa during the 90s. During the line dancing, she ended up being partnered with Kurt, and that’s how the couple met.

But Brenda wasn’t looking for love at that time, as she has often mentioned during interviews. She had just gotten divorced from her first husband, Neil, who was a fellow Marine. Perhaps Brenda’s mother wanted her to enjoy her life and go out, meet new people, as she was a single mother at the time. But little did Brenda’s mother know that her advice to Brenda to go out would allow her to start a new chapter of her life.

How Long Have Kurt and Brenda Warner Been Married?

After meeting each other for the first time in the early 90s, Kurt and Brenda got married on Oct. 11, 1997. Their marriage took place at the St. John American Lutheran Church in Cedar Falls, Iowa. But this wasn’t just any random marriage venue. Brenda’s parents died a year ago because of a tornado, and they were married in the same church.

In October 2023, the cute couple celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary. She took to Instagram to post anniversary celebrations, captioning it, “26 years of marriage looks older, feels better, walks slower, and naps regularly, together.”

She also mentioned Kurt in her Instagram and said that if she ever gets a chance again, she will choose him. “If I had to choose again I would still choose you. He sees me completely and loves me fully,” Brenda posted on Instagram.

What does Brenda Warner do for a living?

A cheerleader at high school who became a Marine Corps veteran is now in the jewelry business. Metal art is something Brenda is really passionate about, and she later decided to take up the craft at a later stage of her life.

During her interview with PEOPLE in 2021, she said that when she turned 50, the same age her mother was killed, she thought that her mother didn’t get any more time than that. That’s when she thought about what she would do if she didn’t care what anybody would think.

She later watched experts weld and purchased all the necessary equipment for welding at home, then self-learned the craft. She has also mentioned that she didn’t know about these talents of hers until she turned 50. She currently sells her creations.

Apart from the craft, she is also the executive producer of the movie American Underdog, which follows Kurt’s football career. The movie earned a $5.86 million domestic weekend opening and a total domestic gross of $26.5 million. Brenda has also published a book titled One Call Away: Answering Life’s Challenges with Unshakable Faith, in which she discusses her family, faith, and marriage.
