As former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald prepares to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame for his legendary career on August 8 at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, we take a look at the 42-year-old’s life away from football.
2026 Hall Of Famer Larry Fitzgerald is Not Married
Fitzgerald is single as of 2026 and does not have a wife, as he has never publicly confirmed a marriage. However, the former Cardinals star is known to have had at least two girlfriends in the past and has three sons.
Since his last public relationship in 2020, though, Fitzgerald has largely avoided making his romantic life a major part of his public persona despite being one of the most recognizable players of his generation.
One of his better-known relationships was with Angela Nazario, a former Oakland Raiders cheerleader. The two reportedly dated in 2006, when the wide receiver was 22, while Nazario was 35.
They had a son, Devin, on January 2, 2008, who will also be his father’s presenter at the Hall of Fame induction. Devin is also a wide receiver, heading into his freshman year at Notre Dame, and will share the stage with legends of the game during the ceremony.

“He’s now pursuing his own football career. For him to be there, sitting next to Jerry Rice and Tim Brown and Paul Warfield and Lance Alworth and all of these amazing players who paved the way for this great game to continue to grow and expand, to think he’s sitting there on this stage,” Fitzgerald said.
“As he goes back to training camp at Notre Dame, I hope it lights a fire about the possibilities if he works really hard, what could possibly happen. And so that was one of the main reasons I wanted him to be a part of it.”
Fitzgerald later had a relationship with Melissa Blakesley, with whom he shares another son, Apollo, but the couple reportedly broke up in 2020.
The 11-time Pro Bowler spent all 17 seasons of his NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals and is one of the most beloved players in franchise history. He finished his career with 1,432 receptions, 17,492 receiving yards, and 121 touchdowns, with his best year coming in 2008, per PFN’s WR Impact rankings, with a 90.5 grade.
Fitzgerald will enter the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility as part of the Class of 2026 alongside Drew Brees, Luke Kuechly, Adam Vinatieri, and Roger Craig.
