The Seattle Seahawks are preparing for a high-stakes NFC Championship clash against the Los Angeles Rams at Lumen Field. Amid the intense pressure game, all eyes are set on quarterback Sam Darnold. Despite facing an oblique injury earlier in the week, Darnold told reporters on January 23, 2026, “I feel really good… the process is going right along where it should be,” confirming his presence to lead Seattle’s Super Bowl push. Although he is currently focused solely on football, fans are also curious about why he has not yet married his fiancée, Katie Hoofnagle.
Why has Sam Darnold not taken the vows with Katie Hoofnagle yet?
There is just one simple answer as to why Sam Darnold has not tied the knot with Katie Hoofnagle: timing. The couple only got engaged in July 2025, just weeks before the start of the 2025-26 NFL season. According to reports, Sam planned the proposal on a beach in Dana Point, California, surrounded by white flowers, followed by a small dinner with close friends and family. Katie later shared pictures from one of the most special days of her life and penned:
“From the best day ever… here’s to forever together.”
