Who Is Trey Hendrickson's Wife, Alisa?

Defensive end Trey Hendrickson is one of the hardest-working and fittest players on the Cincinnati Bengals. Per his NFL profile, Hendrickson is 6'4'" and weighs 270 pounds. His physique makes him one of the greatest players to make slack plays in his team, according to SB Nation. Hendrickson created a single-season record with 14 sacks the regular season and looks to continue his good form at the 2022 Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams on February 13.

While Hendrickson has become a star DE in his first season with the Bengals, he has had back luck with injuries. He suffered a concussion prior to the wild card playoffs in January and was monitored for a brief period before he could play again, according to Sports Illustrated. Luckily for him, he was well taken care of by his team doctors and his wife Alisa Chernomashentsev. Here's everything we know about her and their marriage.

When Trey Hendrickson is not busy making rushes on the field or dealing with his injuries, he spends a majority of time with his wife, Alisa Chernomashentsev, whom he wed in July 2020, per Sports Spectrum. According to The Athletic, Chernomashentsev and Hendrickson met while they were on a cruise together in 2013. Hendrickson had gone on a cruise to the Caribbean when he laid eyes on his future wife, who was 17 years old at the time. "We locked eyes," Chernomashentsev told the outlet, before Hendrickson chimed in, "It was over for me." However, their relationship didn't continue after the cruise ended.

Hendrickson returned back to his hometown of Apopka, Florida, while Chernomashentsev went back to Jacksonville. They didn't reconnect until 2019 when Hendrickson made the first move by texting her. As fate would have it, the two were single and were willing to give their relationship another shot. Chernomashentsev was impressed with Hendrickson's maturity, telling The Athletic, "He had to grow up and experience life, but when we came together again as adults, it was God's timing."

Since then, the couple has continued to support each other through their various endeavors and passions, including Chernomashentsev's doctorate degree.

Trey Hendrickson's wife, Alisa Chernomashentsev, is not just a beauty — she has brains, too. She is currently pursuing her Doctor of Pharmacy degree at Lipscomb University, according to The Athletic. But before she became a scholar, Chernomashentsev was also an athlete. Per The Cincinnati Enquirer, Chernomashentsev competed in fencing at the Air Force Academy, and was a competitive figure skater in her youth. She has posted videos of her past figure-skating life on YouTube.

During her time in the Air Force Academy, Chernomashentsev graduated with honors and was the top 3% in the class with grades. She enrolled in the academy because she wanted to "become a stronger person academically with a minor and a major." Additionally, Chernomashentsev said that her goal in life is to "excel in all of the things I do and keep a good attitude through the good and the bad times." Looks like she's succeeding so far — and she'll have more reason to celebrate when her husband takes the field on Super Bowl Sunday.
