Caleb Williams painted his nails to send a powerful message in the Bears’ Week 1 game against the Vikings. On one hand, the Bears quarterback painted a purple and green ribbon, the symbol for Suicide Prevention Month. On the other, he had “988” painted, the number for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

Williams has been painting his nails since high school, inspired by his mom, who is a nail technician. He has said it is something he grew up around and embraced as his own form of self-expression.

On Monday, the Bears lost 27-24 at home to Minnesota. Chicago led 17-6 in the third quarter and looked in control until Vikings rookie QB J.J. McCarthy exploded in the fourth, leading Minnesota to a dramatic comeback win in Week 1.

Williams opened with 10 straight completions, a Bears record, and scored on a 9-yard scramble. He later hit Rome Odunze for a late touchdown, finishing with 210 passing yards and touchdown with 58 rushing yards.

He had a silver chain and a jacket that said “Lovers” on the back.

Thyregod wore a black sweater with buttons, a short purple skirt with the Louis Vuitton logo, shiny black heels and a matching handbag.

Williams and Thyregod met in high school and rekindled their relationship in 2023. They went public during the 2024 NFL draft, where she wore a silver dress and he matched in blue.
