Greg Olsen And Wife Kara Olsen Has A Cute Family With Three Kids

Former American football player Greg Olsen and his partner Kara Olsen met at the University of Miami. Greg and Kara were both freshmen at the University.

Greg said in an interview that he clearly remembers the first time he met Kara. He was 18 years old, and Kara was 17. He also remembered the dress she wore when she walked into the dorm cafeteria with her friends, whereas Kara did not have a clue about that day.

Their relationship first started as a friendship. Greg is a native of New Jersey who enrolled at the University of Miami on a football scholarship. In contrast, Kara is a native of Orlando who was already a promising realtor. They often hang out with their friends in Kara’s dorm room and watch The Bachelor and MTV’s Newlyweds together. 

Kara said that Greg asked her when she would be back, looking all jealous, and not long after that incident, the lovely couple decided to go on their first official date. The couple vividly remembers their first date night when they ate a PF Chang’s dinner and watched Mean Girls.

Greg was a scholarship student, so he would get his scholarship check early in the week, which he used to take Kara on nice dates. However, by the end of the week, their date night was pretty simple; dinner at Wendy’s or McDonald’s dollar menu.

Their relationship went strong for a couple of years, and they got married in 2009 when Greg was twenty-four and Kara was just twenty-three years old. Looking back, Greg and Kara are surprised at how young they were when they got married but still feel relaxed that they got to spend their entire adulthood together.
