All about Kirk Cousins wife Julie Hampton and kids—
Kirk Cousins is an American football quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL).
He played college football for the Michigan State Spartans and was selected by the Washington Redskins in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL draft as a backup to fellow rookie Robert Griffin III.
Cousins occasionally appeared in games during his first three seasons before replacing Griffin following an injury in 2015, where he remained the team’s starter until 2017. With the Redskins, Cousins set numerous franchise records and was named to the 2017 Pro Bowl.
After two years of signing franchise tags and being unable to agree with the team on a long-term deal, Cousins signed a fully guaranteed three-year US$84 million contract with the Vikings as a free agent in 2018.
He ranks fifth all-time in completion percentage with at least 1,500 pass attempts, and is eighth in the NFL’s all-time regular season career passer rating.
Here, we share details of the quarterback’s family life with wife Julie Hampton and their kids.
Who is Kirk Cousins wife’s Julie Hampton

Around a year and a half later, in November 2013, Cousins announced via Twitter that he’d proposed to Hampton, and she accepted.
A few months after getting engaged, Hampton and Cousins got married on Jun. 28, 2014, in Atlanta.
Outside of being known as Kirk’s wife, she is known as a businesswoman and the co-founder of the Julie & Kirk Cousins Foundation.
While her husband was born in Illinois and went to high school in Michigan, Hampton was born and raised in Alpharetta, Georgia, to Sue and Michael Hampton in 1989. She has two older brothers: Scott and Steve.
Julie stayed in the state for college, studying at the University of Georgia in Athens, a few hours away from her hometown.
With her husband, Hampton runs the Julie & Kirk Cousins Foundation. The charity works with a number of other organizations, including Bethany Christian Services, Boys and Girls Clubs of America and International Justice Mission.
While Hampton isn’t in the public eye to the extent of her husband, she did take part in a commercial alongside him. Their older son, Cooper, and their dog, Abe, were also featured.
In the commercial for bed manufacturer Sleep Number, Cousins does the narration, but Hampton is seen using the Sleep Number technology.
Does Kirk Cousins have any kids?
Yes, Kirk Cousins and his wife Julie Hampton have two children.
In March 2017, Hampton announced on Instagram that she was expecting her first child with Cousins. That September, the Washington Commanders — Cousins’ team at the time — announced the birth of their son Cooper on Twitter.
The NFL star shared the news that their family would be expanding the following year, posting a photo on Twitter of baby Cooper holding a sign that read: “mom & dad are getting me a brother.”
Cousins announced the birth of their second son, Turner, on Instagram in March 2019. “Welcome to the world, little buddy,” Cousins wrote in the caption. “Mom and baby are doing great, and Cooper is already loving his new role as a big brother!”
In July 2023, Cousins and Hampton spoke to PEOPLE about their sons’ interest in football.
“I don’t think they quite understand it yet, but each year they take another step towards really playing a part of it, which has been fun for me,” the dad of two said, adding that he “made it a goal to play long enough before I retire that my boys could really remember it and will have enjoyed being a part of it.”
Hampton said that the boys “want to watch the game now. They care about the score,” and noted that she and Cousins “look forward to more years where they can continue along with us and share that passion with us.”
