Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson announces engagement on social media
Henderson shared a photo of the proposal and a Bible verse as teammates and former college teammates offered congratulations
New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson announced his engagement on social media Wednesday, posting a photograph from the proposal and quoting Proverbs 31:30.
In an Instagram post, Henderson wrote, "'Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.' Proverbs 31:30 💍," and shared an image of the couple by a lit-up block-letter sign that spelled "Marry me." The running back did not identify his fiancée by name in the post and has generally kept his personal life private, sharing primarily about his football career and faith.
The photograph showed red rose petals on the ground and the fiancée displaying a diamond ring. The post marked the first time Henderson publicly shared a photo of his future wife on his social accounts.
Several current and former teammates offered congratulations in the post's comments. Will Howard, identified in social media responses as a college teammate who now plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers, wrote, "Congrats to you guys! So happy for yall [sic]." Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who played with Henderson at Ohio State, also commented, "Congrats bro."
Henderson, a second-round selection this year, made his NFL debut for the Patriots Sunday at Gillette Stadium. He was the 38th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and saw action shortly after signing with New England. In the season opener he gained 27 yards on five carries and caught six passes for 24 yards as the Patriots fell 20-13 to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Before turning professional, Henderson played at Ohio State University, enrolling in 2021 and helping the Buckeyes to a national championship during his college career. Throughout his early professional days, he has spoken about his Christian faith on social media while otherwise limiting public details about his family life.
The announcement drew attention from fans and media amid the start of Henderson's NFL career, which will continue as the Patriots progress through the regular season. No additional details about the engagement or wedding plans were provided in the post.
