The Seattle Seahawks selected Jalen Milroe with the 92nd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Alabama product was viewed as a boom-or-bust prospect heading into the draft, and Seattle took a chance on him while already having Sam Darnold on the team.
But what is Milroe’s life like off the field? Meet the girlfriend he has publicly declared his love for on Instagram and is still dating to this day.
Who Is Jalen Milroe’s Gilfriend?
Jalen Milroe is in a relationship with Hannah Rimkus, whom he refers to as Elise. She was born in Homer, Illinois, and made her first public appearance in the quarterback’s life through an Instagram post in January 2023. Milroe shared a birthday message for her with the caption:
“It’s all about the person you can be your self with… I found that. Happy Born day to you Elise”
According to Hannah’s Facebook profile, she holds a nursing degree from the University of Alabama—the same school where Milroe made his mark in college football and positioned himself to play in the NFL.
The couple seems to keep their relationship fairly private, with minimal social media interactions and Hannah’s Instagram account set to private, though her profile picture features a photo of her with Jalen.
A Look at Milroe’s Pre-Draft Projection
Heading into the 2025 NFL Draft, Milroe was seen as a quarterback with flaws in his game that will require patience from whichever team drafts him, but his upside is intriguing in today’s NFL landscape. He’s the top dual-threat quarterback in this class and possesses a strong arm. His traits make him a great fit for a system designed to simplify reads and decision-making.
A 3-round mock draft from PFSN had Milroe landing with the New York Jets, taken in the second round with the 42nd overall pick — a scenario that would have made a lot of sense given the offensive system the franchise was expected to run in 2025.
The Jets signed Justin Fields to a two-year deal this offseason, and his play style closely mirrors what Milroe might be asked to do early in his NFL career: designed QB runs, quick reads, and the ability to stretch the field vertically when needed.
The former Alabama quarterback got selected by the Seahawks, and last week, he made his NFL preseason debut.
Preview for Chiefs vs. Seahawks Preseason Week 2 Game
The Chiefs come into preseason Week 2 after a 20-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Patrick Mahomes threw just one pass in that game, and he is not expected to play on Friday night against the Seahawks.
In the two-time NFL MVP’s absence, Gardner Minshew and Bailey Zappe will have opportunities to solidify their spots as the QB2 and QB3 on the team, respectively. The Chiefs begin their regular season in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Seahawks tied their first preseason game 23-23 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Sam Darnold did not play last week, but Jalen Milroe got some valuable playing time to showcase his talent.
The rookie quarterback completed 6 of 10 passes for 61 yards and rushed for 38 yards on three carries. Drew Lock, who is currently the Seahawks’ QB2, threw for 147 yards, one touchdown, and an interception last week against the Raiders.
