This is a great story of building each other up!! Recited in two posts. Enjoy!
Former Cowboys, Bears and New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett, who played a major part in the Patriots’ historic comeback in Super Bowl LI
is married to Sigourney ‘Siggi’ Walker.
Like her husband, with his Imagination Agency, Walker also has her own business and is a makeup artist. Walker and Bennett have been married since 2011.
Bennett & Walker Met After an Usher Concert
In a 2012 interview with the New York Post, Bennett said he met his wife during an after party following an Usher concert in Dallas in 2008. He explained:
"Actually when I went to an Usher concert, which is probably the best place to meet women … I was just at The House of Blues, somebody called me to go to like the afterparty and I went up there and she happened to be in town from school ’cause she went to Sarah Lawrence here in New York, so we met then."
When asked to describe Walker, Bennett told the Post:
"Very intelligent, outgoing, funny, stylish, caretaker. She’s a brilliant person. I care about her more than anything else in the world. I love her more than anything."
In a 2012 New York Times profile of Bennett, Siggi revealed that she didn’t know who Bennett was when they were first introduced until after Googling him. On their first date, they saw the movie Yes Man and fell in love. Two years later, he proposed.
Walker graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 2010 and also attended Marin Academy.
The Cowboys Hoped Marrying Walker Would Help Bennett Mature
During the early days of his career with the Dallas Cowboys, there was some concern about Bennett’s maturity. As MySanAntonio.com reported in 2011, Bennett was infamous for his sometimes offensive YouTube channel. In one video, he even dressed up like Osama bin Laden and in another, he used a homophobic slur.
But after his marriage at age 24, Bennett told MySanAntonio.com that he was ready to mature.
“The difference is, I don’t only represent myself now,” Bennett said in 2011. “I have to represent my wife in everything I do. I don’t want her to get a bad reflection because of the things that I do.”
He also told the site that he had an “epiphany” and “everything is falling into place for me right now.”
