The Truth About Matt LaFleur's Wife
Matt LaFleur is one of the youngest coaches to lead an NFL team, and he put together an impressive season in 2020! LaFleur took over for the Green Bay Packers' former head coach, Mike McCarthy, in 2019, according to NBC Sports, and has since driven the Wisconsin team to a 13-3 record in the 2020-2021 season. "Where Is The Love? Green Bay Packers' Matt LaFleur: A Forgotten Man For Coach Of The Year Honors," proclaimed a passionate December 2020 Forbes headline. Much like his triumphant turn as head coach, LaFleur was also expected to stumble in his relationship with Packers quarterback and tabloid folly Aaron Rodgers, reported Fan Nation.
But after a 41-25 Packers-Chicago Bears win on Nov. 29, 2020, Rogers told LaFleur on a post-game Zoom call, "I think the beauty in this year is the subtleties of simplicity that I feel like [LaFleur] implemented in the offseason. It's really allowed me to feel super-comfortable with the plan every week, with my responsibilities with my checks. I think that's why I've been playing well."
The 40-something LaFleur, Fan Buzz noted, joined the ranks of other significantly younger NFL coaches like the Rams' Sean McVay and the Cardinals' Kliff Kingsbury. LaFleur, handsome and young, which Men's Variety noted, is married to BreAnne LaFleur. What do we know about Mrs. LaFleur? Read on to find out.
Matt LaFleur's wife made sacrifices for his NFL career
BreAnne LaFleur (nee Maak) is quite the supportive wife to her husband, Matt LaFleur. BreAnne, once a pharmaceutical rep in Ohio, according to a 2018 The Tennessean article, quit her job in 2008 so she could join Matt in Texas after he could become an offensive assistant to then-Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak, Houston Chronicle reported in 2020. When LaFleur got offered the even-higher NFL position of quarterbacks coach with the Washington Football Team in 2020, the family once again uprooted.
BreAnne spoke to MLive about the sacrifices and challenges her husband's career can bring, stating, "There's a lot of work to do. I have a career (as a pharmaceutical representative), where there aren't a ton of jobs available. Hopefully I can find a position where I can transfer. Then we have to get a moving company."
The couple also shares two sons, Luke and Ty, and BreAnne often makes her social media followers aware of how much she loves her family. She dedicated a 2017 Father's Day Facebook post to both LaFleur and his father, writing, "Happy Father's Day to the main men in my life!! I am beyond blessed because of the impact you have all made on me... We love you Daddy, Big Papa, and Papa D!!!" It sounds like Coach LaFleur seemingly has it all — a winning first season, the admiration of his players, and the love of his devoted wife and sons.
