Houston Texan’s J.J. Watt Marries Chicago Red Stars’ Kealia Ohai
Houston Texan’s defensive end J.J. Watt married professional soccer player Kealia Ohai in the Bahamas on Saturday.
The wedding took place at The Four Seasons’ The Ocean Club. Ohai’s trailing dress was designed by Berta.
Watt and Ohai were reportedly introduced by former Texans linebacker Brian Cushing, who’s married to Ohai’s sister, Megan. They went public with their relationship in 2017, after Ohai confirmed their relationship on the 2 Up Front soccer podcast. The couple got engaged in May 2019.
On Sunday, the bride and groom posted several wedding pictures to Instagram and Twitter.

The couple has recently been in the news for other reasons:
Watt hosted Saturday Night Live on February 1.
And Ohai, who plays in the National Women’s soccer league, was traded from Houston Dash to the Chicago Red Stars in January.
Very proud of you and excited for you!!
I’ll hold it down here, you dominate in Chicago!
❤️💙 https://t.co/2nXTDhRJ3K— JJ Watt (@JJWatt) January 6, 2020
ABC13 Houston tweeted the news of Ohai’s trade with the headline “Houston Dash trade J.J. Watt’s fiancee to Chicago,” which led to this heated tweet from Watts, and a subsequent jab at the wedding.
This headline is trash.
Kealia Ohai (which is her name by the way, since you didn’t even bother to mention it) is incredible entirely on her own merit and deserves to be treated as such.
Be better than this. https://t.co/82GMrYOv9U— JJ Watt (@JJWatt) January 7, 2020
Watt’s collar reads “Mr. Kealia Watt.”
