Model Christen Harper has conquered the heart of one of the fan-favorite football stars. Rams Quarterback Jared Goff kept the relationship a secret and here is why.
Christen Harper, 27, is a model and aspiring actress, incredibly popular on social media. Her Instagram account has more than 280,000 followers and since 2019 she has been linked to Rams Quarterback Jared Goff, 26.
In January of that year, a source said the athlete kept his relationship with the model a secret from everyone except a few close friends. The football player has commented months before that he was focused only on winning games.
The rumors were confirmed by Harper when the young woman posted a photo of herself in February while she was attending a Rams game. However she did not sit with the Goff family, she was sitting apart with friends during the game.
Goff's reason for keeping the relationship a secret, according to the source, is that the Rams player didn't want that to be a distraction while he was in the team's sights on the important Super Bowl game.
