Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp continues to be one of the top pass catchers in the NFL, but behind the Super Bowl 56 MVP is an incredibly supportive wife.
Kupp has been vocal on how important his wife, Anna Kupp, was to his success, who has been at his side throughout his entire football career.
Who Is Cooper Kupp’s Wife?
Cooper and Anna were childhood sweethearts. They have been in a relationship since 2012 when they attended different high schools in the Yakima area of Washington.
The couple married during their sophomore years of college. However, they originally attended different schools. Cooper attended Eastern Washington while Anna went to Arkansas.

After being in a long-distance relationship, the pair got engaged in 2014. Deciding they couldn’t face being apart anymore, Anna transferred to join Cooper at Eastern Washington.

Cooper was set on becoming a professional football player, and Anna supported him through college. Anna kindly worked full-time alongside her studies to allow Cooper to focus entirely on his football career.
Cooper explained to ESPN’s Lindsey Thiry in a 2022 interview, “Without a doubt, there’s no doubt in my mind, not only would I not be here where I am today without her or accomplishing the things that I would be doing. I really believe I may not be in this — I may not be in the NFL if it wasn’t for her and what she has inspired in me and pushed me to do.”
They first met at a high school athletics event when Anna presented Cooper with a medal. Cooper told ESPN, “I knew that she was the one that I wanted to marry when we had first met back in high school. I told my mom the day I met her, ‘I’m going to marry this girl.'”
The Kupps did just that. In June 2015, the couple tied the knot in Washington. Cooper was 22, and Anna was 21 when they got married. They claim family members asked why they were getting married so young.

Anna shared with ESPN that, “’No, we actually think the opposite. We feel so lucky to have found someone that we love and cherish so much so early.”
The ceremony was a big event with over 400 guests attending. However, the couple didn’t go overboard with their wedding.
“We told people, ‘If you want to drink, you need to bring your own alcohol. We’re not trying to be stingy, but at the same time, my dad’s not gonna pay for that,'” Anna said.
“You’d look out, and we’d see some of our teammates with a six-pack on the wedding table,” Cooper recalled.
Then, in July 2018, the couple had their first son, Cooper Jameson Kupp. He is nicknamed June (short for junior). In Jan. 2021, a second son arrived, Cypress Stellar Kupp. The couple have recently announced the arrival of their third son, Solas Reign Kupp, who was born in June 2023.
While raising and taking care of a family can be a full-time job, the Kupps started a new venture in 2024, opening Dodo Coffee Co., a coffee brand. You can visit the brick-and-mortar location in Fayetteville, Ark., or buy from the website.
Cooper and Anna also started a podcast, “Daily Grind,” which the couple releases every Monday. In the episodes, they discuss their family, Cooper’s NFL career, stories from their new coffee brand, and so much more. It looks like the Kupps’ drive and grind just never stops.
