Chris Kluwe, the former NFL punter and outspoken advocate for LGBTQ rights, is married to Isabel Alvarado. The couple met during Kluwe’s time at UCLA, where Isabel worked in the recruiting office. Their relationship began during Kluwe’s first year at the university, and they married in May 2004 during his senior year. Together, they have two daughters, Remy and Olivia, born in 2008 and 2010 respectively.

Isabel has often been mentioned in connection with Kluwe’s activism and public life. Despite the attention brought by her husband’s advocacy for social issues like same-sex marriage, Isabel has maintained a relatively private profile. According to Kluwe, their initial connection was sparked by his academic performance, though Isabel humorously remarked that she initially mistook him for a soccer player rather than a football player.
