<p id=”par-1_64″>Former <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-athletes/?swcfpc=1″>Dallas Cowboys quarterback</a> and current <em>Monday Night Football</em> analyst Troy Aikman has made headlines over the last few years for things that have nothing to do with <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/sports/”>sports</a>. The <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/nfl/”>NFL</a> Hall of Famer’s name has also been in the news for his love life as he’s had <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-relationships/”>relationships with a few high-profile women</a> including <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/5-great-sandra-bullock-movies-to-watch-in-celebration-of-her-birthday-today-july-26.html/?swcfpc=1″>actor Sandra Bullock</a> and country singer Lorrie Morgan, before he married his first wife. </p>
<p id=”par-2_56″>In 2023, fans were confused when pictures of Aikman were posted on social media with a much younger woman since most people thought he was still married. Now, he and the woman 22 years his junior have since split, and the former signal caller found love again. Here’s what we know about Aikman’s new girlfriend. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-aikman-was-married-twice”>Aikman was married twice</h2>
<p id=”par-3_42″>Aikman was previously married to Rhonda Worthey, who worked as the Cowboys’ publicist when Aikman played for the team. They said “I do” in 2001 and have two daughters together. In 2011, it was announced that they decided to end their marriage.</p>
<p id=”par-4_52″>“This has been a difficult decision for Rhonda and me, but after 10 years of marriage, we have decided to separate,” Aikman said in a statement to <a href=”https://people.com/celebrity/rhonda-aikman-and-troy-aikman-split/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>People</a> at the time. “We remain deeply committed to our children and respectfully ask that you honor our family s privacy during this period of adjustment.”</p>
