Chariah Gordonhas an NFL storyline of her own.

While the Kansas City Chiefs have a compelling narrative as they continue their pursuit to become the first team in the league to clinch three consecutive Super Bowl wins, the football WAG has had headline-making seasons herself.

Gordon first turned heads of football fans in February 2023, when she became one of themost followed storylinesof Super Bowl LVII. While the brotherly showdown of Travis and Jason Kelce was one of them, a then-expecting Gordon was another.

The couple’s firstborn son was namedMecole IIIafter his father, who got “permission” from the Chiefs to support Gordon in labor. Showing up for each other is a reciprocated gesture between the athlete and Gordon, who says she’s “making it a point” to go to every game this season.

She even has plans to bring her little ones to a few games this season, too, “…before it gets really cold,” she clarifies.

While Gordon views game days as “a break” from the 24/7 cycle of being a mom at times, the star-studded suite isn’t always as stress-free as it looks! “Man, I be so nervous. Every time he gets the ball in his hand, I’m like, ‘Please, please, please, just be okay’,” she says of watching her fiancé play.

“Honestly, this was the real start of our relationship,” reveals Gordon, who relocated from her native Chicago to Kansas City. “We’ve been inseparable ever since,” she says, adding, “I think that however I comforted him, it made him feel like, ‘Okay, she could be my woman.’ "

A career primarily based on performance and wins can be mentally taxing, especially for athree-time Super Bowl winnerlike Hardman, which Gordon doesn’t take lightly. “I definitely just try to stay in his ear and keep him motivated and keep him inspired,” she says.

“You speak everything you want into existence,” explains Gordon, who calls herself “intuitive” due to the self-described “Pisces power” she possesses. “We both got some type of special magic going on!”

The losses, however, make the wins feel that much better — something the Chiefs kingdom knows very well, given their undefeated 7-0 streak to start the season for the third time in franchise history (not to mention, on the heels of their back-to-back Super Bowl victories).

“We celebrate the tackles, the touchdowns, the yards,” Gordan explains. “It’s just really good, genuine vibes. We’re happy for them doing what they love… and wishing them the best while they’re on the field.”

Last year’s NFL season had its fair share of memorable storylines, concluding with a happy ending for Gordon and the Chiefs when Hardman completed a pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes to score the game-winning touchdown at the Super Bowl.

Gordon was the subject of another exciting chapter earlier that season, one that captured the attention of a whole new audience of football fans afterposting a PDA-filled photoonInstagramwith Kelce and his girlfriendTaylor Swiftamid theirbudding romancein October 2023.

“I didn’t know that it was going to be that big,” Gordon admits of her viral photo, whichshe recreatedwith the superstar couple and her fiancé Hardman for a “part ii” this year. “I had no expectations,” she recalls.

“I just honestly posted because we had a good time and it was a really nice photo,” Gordon continues. “I didn’t know that I was breaking the internet, so I was oblivious to all of that… It’s just good times with good people that I care about, and that’s just that.”

While Hardman’s hustle on the field shows no sign of stopping, neither does Gordon’s grind off of it. The mom of two not only doubles as a committed and motivating partner to her star NFL fiancé, but she triples as an entrepreneur as well.

Gordon is the founder ofGLO Collection, a skincare business and clothing line that she ultimately plans to make a “one-stop shop.” Right now, the online store sells skin, body and beauty products, in addition to apparel.

“I created the Glo Collection because I was going through [the] experience of having really bad acne,” she says. “I wanted to create something where women can come feel comfortable, be themselves and look beautiful all the way around.” She adds, “I’m a girl’s girl and I like for us to look and feel our best.”

Since its inception in 2018 and official launch in 2020, Gordon has no plans of slowing down. Next, she’s teaming up with Hardman’s workout brand, Jet Apparel, and teased her vision for the campaign: to encourage women to “get fit” and “toned up,” regardless of the stage of life they’re in.

For Gordon — a new mom of two and a newly-named fiancée — that stage of life is a “special” one, especially because she has Hardman alongside her for the ride. “He’s truly my best friend,” she says of her soon-to-be husband.

“I would have definitely chosen him in a million lifetimes — and I’m glad that I get to do this life thing with him and just continue to build and grow our legacy for our kids,” she says. “I’m just excited to see what’s next for us.”
