How Drew Lock’s wife, Natalie, went from college sweetheart to his biggest NFL fan

Natalie Lock, born Natalie Newman, is the wife of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock, and the story of how they found each other is more modern than the title suggests. The pair did not meet at college but through the dating app Bumble in 2019, the same year Drew was drafted into the NFL. Since then, Natalie has followed him across Denver, New York, and Seattle, built her own career as a model and influencer, and become the mother of two. She is, by every account, Drew Lock's biggest NFL fan.
