Baker Mayfield has been married to his wife, Emily Mayfield, for more than five years, and they share a healthy relationship. The couple often publicly express their appreciation for one another. Emily frequently compliments the quarterback’s game-day outfits on Instagram, while Baker admires her during interviews.
Beyond being partners, Baker and Emily are parents to their daughter, Kova, who was born in April 2024. She holds a special place in her father’s heart, a bond Emily discussed in detail on “Monday Night Countdown.”
During the interview, Baker joined Emily, and host Michelle Beisner-Buck asked Emily what kind of dad she felt Baker has been to Kova. Emily praised Baker for being “such a good dad” and highlighted a key character trait that makes him an ideal father.
“I’ve always said it,” Emily shared. “Baker is not for everyone. He’s a little polarizing on the field. He’s kind of hard and harsh in certain circumstances, but he’s such a softy, so I knew he’d be a good dad.”
Emily also described the special bond Baker shares with Kova and their dynamic as father and daughter. “But he has that little girl wrapped around his finger, and it’s a very sweet dynamic they have,” she said. “She loves her daddy.”
### How Baker and Emily’s Romance Began
Baker Mayfield also reflected on his early dating days with Emily, revealing the challenges he faced to win his first date. According to the quarterback, it was an old friend from The University of Oklahoma, Patrick Haye, who played matchmaker by approaching Emily to get her number.
“Patrick, of course, being a good friend, asked her if I could have her number,” Baker recalled. “She said no. So, I went to Instagram, hit the follow button, no follow back. Hit the unfollow button, hit the follow again, and no follow back. Tried to slide into the DMs, no response. At this point, feeling pretty rejected. Finally, you (Emily) gave Patrick the ‘OK, I can get your number.’”
The couple dated for almost six months before getting engaged. They tied the knot in July 2019 in a romantic ceremony at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, exchanging vows in a beautiful setting.
