“Miss you already.” Those words from Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix’s wife, Izzy Nix, say it all as she grieves the loss of her pet dog, Nugget. For 16 years, Nugget was family, always by their side through thick and thin.
Nugget’s playful paws had left a lasting print on their lives, from cozy moments at home to myriad adventures. Now, as Izzy reflects on the joy he brought, she’s left with bittersweet memories and a giant hole in her heart.
Izzy Nix Bids Emotional Farewell to Pet Dog Nugget
Izzy Nix’s Instagram hit us right in the feels as she said goodbye to her dog, Nugget. The post wasn’t just a tribute — it was a gut punch.
“Will never forget the day we brought him home. Miss you already, Nugs,” she captioned, reminding us all of how pets become family.
One story showed Nugget in his prime — head out the car window, soaking in the wind like a pro, living his best life. It wasn’t just a car ride. It was Nugget’s version of a touchdown.
Later, Izzy posted a pic with two other dogs, writing: “Hard to put into words the pain of losing your first dog, but thankful for the 16 years with Nugget.”
You can feel the heartache in those words. Sixteen years of tail wags, snuggles, and doggy mischief, and suddenly, it’s over.
Meanwhile, Bo Nix might be owning the field, but this loss reminds us that the real MVPs are the ones who’ve been with us through it all, no matter the season. Nugget may be gone, but his paw prints will forever leave a mark. Forever a part of the Nix family.
Bo Nix and Izzy’s Halloween Top Gun Tribute Takes Denver by Storm
Bo and Izzy Nix are already making Denver their own, starting with a Halloween costume that’s dangerously good. The couple paid tribute to Top Gun with a perfect duo look.
Bo slipped into a Maverick bomber jacket while Izzy rocked the pilot’s ensemble. Classic, right?
But here’s the kicker: with Nix’s blonde hair and bomber, he looked more like Val Kilmer’s Iceman than Tom Cruise’s Maverick. Izzy, never one to miss a beat, posted on Instagram: “My wingman.”

And the fun didn’t stop there.
Quarterback Jarrett Stidham and his wife Kennedy joined the crew, rocking Batman and Catwoman costumes. “Quarterbacks by day. Batman and Iceman by night,” Izzy joked in her stories.
Turns out, Top Gun is Nix’s favorite movie, so the costume was basically written in the stars.
As the 2024 NFL season picks up speed, the power couple is proving that life off-field can be just as fun as the game itself. Be it paying homage to classic movies or fully embracing Denver’s vibe, they’re making the most of every opportunity.
If this is any indication, the Nix family is here to stay, with plenty more fun (and probably more costumes) ahead.
