How It’s Going
Hurts and Burrows confirmed their engagement in September 2024, after Burrows was spotted sporting a massive rock at the Eagle’s season opener, according to PEOPLE. Fans who have been cheering on Jalen and Bry’s beautiful Black love story couldn’t be happier to see him put a ring on it.
“Our good sis Bry Burrows got her ring! Congrats to her and Jalen Hurts!” posted someone on X.
