Sean McVay, the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams, married Veronika McVay (née Khomyn) in June 2022. The couple now shares two sons: Jordan, born in October 2023, and Christian, born in December 2025. Veronika works as a real-estate agent in Los Angeles.
The pair met while Veronika attended George Mason University and Sean served as an assistant tight-end coach for the Washington Commanders. His promotion to Rams head coach in 2017 made him the youngest head coach in the modern NFL era, and the team is now pursuing a berth in the 2026 Super Bowl.
From College Sweethearts to NFL Power Couple
Their relationship timeline spans more than a decade:
- 2011-2013 – Met in the Washington, D.C. area
- June 2019 – Engaged during a vacation in France
- June 4, 2022 – Married at the Beverly Hills Hotel
- October 2023 – Welcomed son Jordan John
- December 2025 – Welcomed son Christian Alexander
Jordan’s middle name honors Sean’s late grandfather, John McVay, the former San Francisco 49ers executive. “His original due date was when my grandfather passed a year ago on the 31st,” Sean told reporters. “If you don’t believe in a higher power … you just realize there’s something special going on.”
Ukrainian Roots and Public Advocacy
Veronika was born in Ukraine and immigrated to the United States in 2009. She has used her platform to highlight Ukrainian causes, especially after Russia’s invasion in 2022. At the 2022 Critics’ Choice Awards, the couple delivered a joint statement before presenting Best Picture.
“Before we announce the nominees, we’d like to take a moment to talk about what’s on all of our minds: Veronika’s home country, Ukraine,” Sean began.
“I proudly stand with my fellow Ukrainians, and I admire their strength,” Veronika added. “There is no place in our world for this kind of violence.”
Career Moves and Celebrations
Veronika earned a bachelor’s degree in international business from George Mason and a master’s in global management from Arizona State, according to her LinkedIn profile. She entered luxury real estate with The Agency in Los Angeles, announcing the career pivot on Instagram in April 2021.
Sean, meanwhile, guided the Rams to victory in Super Bowl LVI in February 2022. Veronika celebrated on Instagram: “I’ve watched this guy grind nonstop. Winning this Lombardi trophy for his team, his family, his friends … is a dream come true.”
Wedding Crashers and Lombardi Cake
The June 2022 ceremony, officiated by former pro player Tom Raponi, featured a cake modeled after the Lombardi Trophy. One uninvited guest made the night memorable: Odell Beckham Jr. showed up anyway, prompting laughs from Sean and his mother. Sean later joked he had only invited last season’s captains and a handful of retired players.
Life as a Father of Two
After Jordan’s arrival, Sean called fatherhood “wild” and admitted he “can’t even put words to it.” The couple’s second son, Christian Alexander, arrived two years later, capping a busy stretch that included a wedding, a Super Bowl win, and two childbirths.
