Sean Payton's Daughter Meghan Announced Engagement Months Ago: What We Know about Their Father-Daughter Relationship

Former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton's daughter Meghan Payton is starting to make her way into the world of high-stakes sports as a betting host. Early in her career, she had the chance to put her dad on the spot on the air.

Meghan Payton recently got engaged to her longtime boyfriend and Adam Sandler's brother-in-law, Christopher Titone. The sports journalist partakes in recreational sports such as surfing and skiing.

In 2015, her coach dad was lauded by prominent players in the New Orleans Saints for taking a day off practice to rep Team Payton during her first week in college. She had chosen a school on the opposite end of the country from her parents.

Sean Payton's Daughter Meghan Is Not Far from the NFL

Meghan, born March 21, was raised by Beth Shuey and Sean in Mandeville, Louisiana -- her parents divorced in 2012. She is a sports betting host and analyst at WagerTalk, previously interned at the NFL Network, and was a sports reporter at SportsGrid.

She has a loving relationship with her younger brother, Connor. On his birthday in 2022, she tweeted a picture of them as toddlers sitting on the floor, giving a sweet tribute by means of apology: "Sorry for telling you reading wasn't cool at this age. There's a reason you're the smarter sibling! Love you."

He, in turn, annually tweets on her birthday a variation of her being the best sister in the world and that he loves her. The youngest Payton is in the TCU Horned Frogs football program at Texas Christian University.

Meghan and Titone announced their engagement on March 23, 2022. The earliest trace of them together is from January 2016 on a skiing trip, followed by many sweet posts of the duo. The actor is Jackie Sandler's brother and has acted in many of her husband, Adam's films.

Sean Payton quipped that he had enjoyed his vacation in Lake Tahoe up until her probe.

Titone wrote 2022's "Home Team" starring Kevin James, loosely based on Sean's one-year suspension from the NFL over the coach's role in the 2012 Bountygate scandal. The experienced coach spent the year off productively as the offensive coordinator for his son's sixth-grade team.

On Wednesday, August 26, 2015, coach Sean left the New Orleans Saints in the hands of assistant coach Joe Vitt to help Meghan settle in at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. She studied media and sports broadcasting and was a part of the surf club.

The Saints' official account retweeted the aspiring sports broadcaster the next day standing in her cramped dorm room with her parents. The freshman had already put her stamp on her "sweet cubical," and one tweeter jokingly called out the lack of Saints gear.

Sean's team was very supportive of him taking a family day. Quarterback Luke McCown said it was such a "neat experience" for his coach, and tight end Benjamin Watson applauded him for prioritizing family.

The intern thanked Rhodes the next day on social media for letting her crash "NFL Total Access" and said she had a lot of fun being on air.
