Being married for 52 years, sharing life’s ups and downs, and still being so full of love for each other! Who wouldn’t want a marriage like that? It’s not often you see a high school love blossom to turn into a happily ever after love story. And Kristen Saban’s IG post melts fans over Nick Saban’s relationship with his wife.

Nick Saban is best known as the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, who he led to six national championships in his 16 seasons in Alabama. But this man is more than just one of the greatest college football coaches if you dig deeper into his personal life. And the happy marriage that his daughter portrayed is just one of the several reasons fans love him more.

Kristen Saban draws inspiration from her parents’ relationship 

Recently, on Instagram, Kristen Saban showed her love and appreciation to Nick Saban and Terry Saban, who celebrated their 52nd marriage anniversary. She posted a beautiful video of her parents and captioned it, “52 years of the most loving and inspiring marriage. Happy anniversary, mom & dad.” Following in her parents’ footsteps, she is also happily married to Adam Setas since 2015.

The combination of Nick Saban and his supportive wife is meant to last. The HC is always calm and laid back as his cheerleader wife is fueled with a child’s excitement every time they meet on the field. It’s not only their strong love story that’s inspiring, but they also co-founded Nick’s Kids Foundation. This organization supports the needs of children, raising over $1 million in his first three years as Alabama HC.

The Alabama HC is of Croatian heritage like Bill Belichick, with whom he shares a friendship spanning over four decades. The New England Patriots HC said of Nick Saban, “Two successful Croats in the same division of NFL. You must admit, you don’t see that every day.” The two legendary coaches worked for the Cleveland Browns for four seasons.

Nick Saban’s relationship with his family shows that he’s not just an inspiration in college football but also in personal relationships. But right now, all his focus may need to go to the 12-1 Crimson Tide, who will face the 13-0 Michigan Wolverines in the upcoming Rose Bowl.
