How Is Tony Gonzalez’s Married Life Going?
Tony, a 44-year-old former NFL player, has been in a long-term relationship with October Gonzalez.
The couple wedded almost a decade ago, but they only legally married in 2019.
Tony resides in Huntington, California, with his wife, October, and their three children.
On July 20, 2007, Tony and October wedded in a commitment ceremony.
Following their marriage, they had two children.
Malia Gonzalez, their first child, was born shortly after their marriage.

Aside from that, the couple has adopted a daughter named Sophia Gonzalez,
who will turn five on December 10, 2019.
Tony has another son from his connection with Lauren Sanchez, Nikko Gonzalez.
Lauren is currently engaged to the richest man on the planet, Jeff Bezos.
Everything from their first date through their first meeting
They met at Dennis Rodman’s pub, where October was working as a waitress.
In Tony’s podcast about their first meeting, October stated that
he was “somewhat lurking in the back” when she first noticed him.
She stated that as she chatted with him, she felt at peace and at ease with him,
and they immediately felt as if they’d known each other for years.
Meanwhile, Tony claimed that he asked her out on their first date, which she refused.
He also requested her phone number, but she didn’t give it to him;
instead, she took his. October stated that she was dating another man at the time and hence did not call Tony.
October Gonzalez and Tony Gonzalez have been married for 13 years.
A year passed, but the pair never spoke again,
despite Tony’s frequent visits to the restaurant.
One night, a mutual acquaintance named Doug called Tony and informed him that Tobie (October) was single.
Tony stated that he was at a Hollywood club when Doug called and
that he immediately drove to the club, which was about an hour and 20 minutes away, with his pals.
When Tony arrived at the club, October was in the parking lot, prepared to leave.
They conversed for about an hour before he asked her out.
The couple began dating, but Tony stated that they had been dating on and off for about three years.
Tony Was a Fan of October’s Singing
After around three years of on-again, off-again dating,
the pair eventually decided to take things seriously.
Tony said in his podcast that he fell in love with his wife after hearing her sing in a club.
He told the story while they were in a bar with one of October’s friends, Stephanie.
Then October stood up and began singing “Let’s Hear it for the Boy.”
Tony thought she was the one for him at the time.
October went on to say that Tony called her a few days later
and invited her to spend 10 days with him in Kansas.
She went on to remark that it was the first time they had spent so much time together.

Meanwhile, Tony was still fighting the condition when he decided to propose to October, his then-girlfriend.

On the other hand, October imitated Tony’s
immobilized look when he said, “I love you, will you marry me?”
On her husband’s podcast, October stated that they were engaged,
married, bought a house, and became pregnant with their first kid all in the same year, 2007.
