“I’m lucky. I’m living a great life, but I don’t forget where it started,” this is what sportscaster Kevin Burkhardt says about his story. For sure, Burkhardt’s journey to the top of sports broadcasting is nothing short of inspiring.

Burkhardt has come a long way from working as a local car salesman while chasing his dream of sports reporting to anchoring the Chiefs vs Eagles Super Bowl. But the lead studio host of FMLB gives all the credit for his success to his wife!

Kevin and his wife Rachel have a small beautiful world of a son named Logan. The Burkhardt family currently lives in Los Angeles, California. When the former reporter is not on the gridiron, we can see him spending time with his family on vacations.

In 2017, the Burkhardts spent a lovely time in London roaming around the streets. The sportscaster shared a glimpse of the trip on IG with the caption, “First time in London. So many things to see!” The couple isn’t just enjoying their lives but making a difference in society, involving various community activities.

While the duo enjoys keeping their lives private, they introduced the Kevin and Rachel Burkhardt Scholarship at William Paterson University in New Jersey in 2019. The scholarship helps students pursue Communications and broadcast journalism. So, who is Rachel and when did she marry the sportscaster?

When did Kevin Burkhardt and Rachel get married?

Kevin Burkhardt and Rachel Blanken started dating when they were in college. While the commentator was in his last semester at William Paterson University, Rachel also studied there. Blanken was the audio expert in the TV truck, while Kevin was broadcasting football games for WPTV – talk about a match made in broadcast heaven!

The couple took their relationship to the next level by walking down the aisle on 10 June 2000. Since then, they have built a strong, beautiful life together. From Sports Emmy Awards to the “White Men Can’t Jump,” premiere Burkhardt loves taking his wife to every event.

Fast forward to today, they’re passionate supporters of the John Rhodes Scholarship. What’s truly inspiring about this power couple is their rock-solid bond. Kevin often flaunts Rachel’s support, especially when he landed his dream job at Fox. In an interview with the New York Post, he revealed that his wife was his ultimate advisor and cheerleader during that essential moment.
