Heather Headley has had many careers but only one husband, former NFL player Brian Musso. The devout pair have been friends since college.

The couple has two sons, John David Musso, born on December 1, 2009, and Jordan Chase Musso, born on August 18, 2014. The parents were more secretive about the birth of their daughter in April 2019, not making her name public.

Brian Is a Former NFL Player

Musso graduated from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and had a short career with the New York Jets as a wide receiver. His father played college football in Alabama.

After retiring from the NFL, he became an investment adviser in Chicago but never gave up his passion for sports. The former Jets player's long-time dream of facilitating the building of a sports complex in the heart of Chicago was realized in January 2023.

Headley praised her husband's vision and the handful of non-profits on Instagram, "I'm so proud of my husband and everyone who persistently worked on this." The facility boasts top-of-the-line sports facilities, a church, a food pantry, meeting rooms, and after-school programs for the West Chicago community.

Brian Is a Happily Married Man

Headley and Musso met while they were students at Northwestern University. The long-term couple set their wedding date for September 6, 2003, eight months after getting engaged. The sportsman is very supportive of his wife's intense work in the theater.

The arrival of their children looks to have deepened the relationship that Brian and Headley share.

When the actress was working on a musical of "The Bodyguard" in London, in which she played the role Whitney Houston embodies in the film, he flew between the UK and Chicago 44 times. He repeated the exercise domestically when she took over from Jennifer Hudson in "The Colour Purple" on Broadway.

In 2018, Musso broke ground on what was meant as a gift for his wife but grew into something of a gift for their whole family. The sleek coach house a few meters from their Chicago home was completed in early 2020, just in time for the COVID-19 quarantine.

What started as a recording studio for the "Hallelujah Amen" singer became a three-story sanctuary sporting a home theater where Musso can enjoy his sports, an office, a guest bedroom, a full kitchen, and an outdoor dining area.

The influence of Headley's Trinidadian heritage and theater career can be seen and felt all over the 2,100-square-foot recording studio cum playhouse. She said that personal touches were crucial for her, "In five or ten years, I still want to like this place."

Brian Welcomed 3 Children with His Wife

The arrival of their children looks to have deepened the relationship that Brian and Headley share. The "Sweet Magnolias" actress shared a poetic tribute to her sweet husband on Father's Day 2018:

"One of the greatest gifts of my life is that I call this man 'my husband,' and my children call him 'Daddy.' He's gentle enough to whisper away our fears and strong enough to carry us all on his broad shoulders. How blessed are we to call him... ours!"

John and Jordan each take after one of their parents. Headley revealed that "one is thoughtful, silently strong" like her husband while the other is a "little louder, more dramatic" like her, without specifying which profile matched which child.

Brian ensured that his young daughter was part of an exciting family outing, climbing Georgia's Stone Mountain in 2021. He carried her on his back during the entire steep climb, allowing the family to take in the scenery. His wife thought it was the perfect metaphor for the man who carried the whole family.
