In May 2023, former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez and actress Perry Mattfeld exchanged vows in a picturesque ceremony at a monastery in Oaxaca, Mexico. The couple's love story, which began in 2017 after being introduced by a mutual friend, has been described as deeply emotional and resilient.
Mattfeld, a rising star known for her roles in shows like "Shameless" and "In the Dark," and Sanchez, a Fox Sports analyst, bonded over their shared heritage, growing up in similar environments, and their ties to the University of Southern California. After years of navigating a long-distance relationship, the pandemic brought them closer together in 2020.
In May 2022, Sanchez proposed to Mattfeld in Anguilla with a meticulously planned celebration, including a private concert and a surprise appearance by Mattfeld's parents. Their wedding ceremony at Casa dos Lagos featured colorful florals, butterflies, and a first dance to Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love."
Despite the recent challenges in Sanchez's life, including legal issues, the couple's shared milestones have highlighted their partnership built on love, resilience, and family. In March 2025, they welcomed twins, announcing the news earlier that year with joy and excitement.
