Who Is Bo Nix's Wife? All About Izzy Nix

Bo Nix’s biggest cheerleader is his wife, Izzy Nix.

The star running back played at Auburn University for three seasons before transferring to the University of Oregon for the 2022 season. He was named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2023 and was a candidate for the Heisman Trophy — his 61 starts are the most among running backs in NCAA history .

Bo and Izzy met at Auburn, where she was a Tigers cheerleader. Izzy graduated from the university in May 2022, and the couple married two months later in Alabama. Shortly after they married, the couple moved to Eugene, Oregon, where Bo spent two seasons with the Oregon Ducks.

In April 2024, Bo was drafted into the NFL by the Denver Broncos.

“The day I met Bo he told me about his divine dream. I will never stop praising the Lord for His faithfulness nor will I have enough words to express how proud I am of you Bo,” Izzy wrote on Instagram after Bo’s big achievement. “Delighted and honored to join Broncos country!!!”

Izzy was born on October 18, 1998. She and her three siblings, sisters Millie and Abbie and brother Luke, grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. Growing up, Izzy spent 14 years as a gymnast, quitting the sport after her 17th birthday.

“I wore the leotard about 3320 times and looking back, I don’t regret it one bit. Gymnastics is a tough sport… It came with a hell of a lot of sacrifice, blood, sweat, tears, goals, lessons, challenges, fears, respect, teamwork and dedication,” she wrote on Instagram in October 2015.

Two years later, she graduated from Evangel Christian School in Alabaster, Alabaster, where she also played basketball. After transferring to college, she spent part of her summers working as a counselor at Kanakuk Kamps in Branson, Mo.

Bo began his college career at Auburn University, where his father Patrick Nix also played quarterback. There, in June 2020, he met Izzy, an Auburn Tigers cheerleader.

“This guy is a real blessing, let me tell you!!!! one year of knowing him and every day gets sweeter 🤍,” she wrote on Instagram in June 2021.

Izzy graduated in May 2022. “I will never take this for granted – standing next to these girls on game day has quickly become my favorite thing,” she captioned a 2020 Instagram photo with three of her fellow cheerleaders.

Bo transferred to the University of Oregon before the 2022-23 school year, and Izzy joined her husband-to-be in his new college town of Eugene after graduating from Auburn.

“I’m trading my orange and blue for green and yellow 💚💛🤭 next stop: OREGON!” she wrote on Instagram with a carousel of graduation photos.

They got engaged at the football stadium in Auburn

After just over a year of dating, the couple got engaged on July 30, 2021, with Bo getting down on one knee at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn.

“From the first moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you were special,” he wrote on Instagram after sharing their happy news. “I can’t wait to be your husband. I’m with you forever, Izzy Smoke!”

Izzy shared a similar sentiment on Instagram, writing, “Bo Chapman Nix, I am so honored and delighted that you chose me to be your WIFE.”

She married Bo in Alabama

Bo and Izzy enjoyed a summer wedding in their home state.

Their wedding was held at the Ridge Point Events Venue in Alpine, Ala., on July 2, 2022. Many friends and family were in attendance, and the celebration included unique elements such as a bouncy house and a surprise fireworks display.

“Izzy, you are and always will be my greatest gift,” Bo wrote on Instagram alongside a photo carousel in honor of their first wedding anniversary, to which Izzy responded in the comments, “BEST YEAR EVER!!!!! ”

They support each other

Both Bo and Izzy publicly praise each other, each sharing photos and sweet words about their partner on social media.

For Bo’s birthday in 2021, Izzy wrote: “The amount of grace this guy shows me on a daily basis is beyond compare. He embodies humility, strength and kindness in everything he does. It was my greatest gift to stand by him.”

While much of Bo’s Instagram is dedicated to football, he also frequently posts about Izzy, including tons of photos from their wedding.

“I love you endlessly,” he wrote of Izzy on Instagram for Valentine’s Day 2022.

She said moving to Oregon was a “difficult transition.”

Izzy may be the first to admit that she didn’t expect to move to Oregon, but she had no qualms about starting over on the West Coast.

“It was definitely a tough transition here, but when we got engaged, I knew we could live anywhere, be anywhere he could transition, so it was great,” she told Pac-12 Networks in September 2023.

Bo moved first, as Izzy still had a semester to finish at Auburn before she could join him across the country.

“He came alone, he didn’t know anyone, he didn’t have me, he didn’t have his parents down the street, nothing, so he would tell me all the time ‘I realized I can live on my own. Somehow I feel like I’ve grown up,’ she recalled. “And I think it was a great introduction to our marriage, just him coming here, growing. I feel like he’s always been mature and so wise and disciplined and one of the most driven people I know…”

They celebrate milestones on the beach

After the wedding, the Nixes traveled to Mexico for their honeymoon. “I married the man of my dreams!!!!!!! & celebrating all week in CABO 😇🤪🐢💛,” Izzy wrote on Instagram in July 2022.

The beach is the couple’s favorite vacation spot. Izzy held her bachelorette party in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida in June 2022, and almost exactly one year later, Bo and Izzy took an “early” trip to Maui for their anniversary. Their tropical adventure included paragliding and plenty of beach time.
