Sam Darnold and Katie went official with their relationship on Instagram in 2023. They share social media posts for each other to mark special occasions in their lives.

According to her LinkedIn bio, Katie is an account executive at a software company. She also shared some behind-the-scenes snaps of her engagement to Darnold and wrote that the couple had an outdoor dinner with close friends and family.

In an interview with Us Weekly in March, Darnold raved about Hoofnagle and said that she was also an athlete.

"She’s a former athlete herself, and just gets kind of the grind of everything,” Darnold said. “When I just want to chill, she’s very up for that, especially during the season.”

Although Darnold has had a big moment in his life this offseason, he will soon need to turn his focus to the Seahawks for the 2025 NFL season.

Darnold signed a three-year, $100.5 million contract with the Seahawks this offseason after playing with the Vikings in the 2024 season.
