Davante Adams’ romance with his wife, Devanne Villarreal, began long before he was a top player in the NFL.
The couple met while students at Fresno State University in 2012 — two years before Adams was drafted by the Green Bay Packers and joined the league. They wed in 2018 and have since welcomed two children, daughters Daija Leigh and Dezi Lynn. Adams and Villarreal are currently expecting baby No. 3.
In 2022, the wide receiver was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders and his family now resides in Nevada. Despite Adams’ success on the field, Villarreal told Bleacher Report in 2018 that “he doesn’t act like a celebrity. He’s the same old Davante.”
She also told The Ringer in 2021 that her husband has a “strong, intimidating presence,” but that “when you get to know him, there’s a lot more to him.”
From marriage and motherhood to her support for her husband, here’s everything to know about Davante Adams’ wife, Devanne Villarreal.
Both California natives, Villarreal and Adams first met in 2012 while attending Fresno State University. Adams played for the Fresno State Bulldogs from 2011 to 2013 before getting drafted into the NFL in 2014.
Adams proposed to Villarreal in the Bahamas in 2017. Villarreal posted a series of photos of Adams proposing on Instagram, saying her then-fiancé had “thought out the most perfect, creative, heart felt, breathtaking proposal,” under the guise of a photoshoot.
They wed in 2018 at Pebble Beach in Monterey County, California. The bride wore a Vera Wang dress and shared photos and videos from the day on Instagram. Per USA Today, the couple went to the Greek island of Santorini for their honeymoon.
In June 2023, Adams and Villarreal celebrated five years of marriage.
“5 down… Happy anniversary to my beautiful wife,” the pro football player wrote on Instagram.
Villarreal and Adams share two daughters. Daija Leigh was born in September 2019 and Dezi Lynn arrived in April 2022.
The couple are currently expecting their third child — a baby boy. Adams announced Villarreal’s pregnancy on Dezi’s birthday in April 2024.
“Happy 2nd birthday Dezi. Mommy and daddy love you so much we got you a baby brother! Time to draw up this zone defense I’ve been working on…” he wrote on Instagram alongside a family photo featuring ultrasound photos and his wife’s growing baby bump.

After growing up and attending college in California, Villarreal continued living in the state while Adams was in Wisconsin during his time with the Green Bay Packers, flying back to California whenever he could, per ESPN.
“I had to leave every single weekend of OTAs [organized team activities] to come back to California. Literally every single weekend I was flying back and forth, two flights each way on commercial flights. Four flights each week just to see my family,” said the wide receiver. “I wanted to be able to do OTAs and be with my team but not have to leave my wife and kids. That’s huge for me. I’m a family man, and that was hella unnecessary travel.”
The couple then moved closer to their home state, relocating to Las Vegas when Adams got traded to the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022.
