Who is Jon Rahm's wife? Meet his college sweetheart Kelley Cahill

Jon Rahm is always supported from the stands by his wife and college sweetheart Kelley Cahill.

Kelley was born in February 1994 and was raised by her mother Nancy and father Rob.

She grew up near Lake Oswego, Oregon, in the United States. She has one brother called Marty.

Kelley has a sporty background and is a graduate from Arizona State University.

In college she participated in events such as javelin and is reportedly fond of tennis, boxing and track and field.

It was there she met Rahm and the couple began dating and eventually moved in together in 2017.

The couple reportedly enjoyed games of tennis against each other.

Though on one occasion Kelley revealed she was so mad Rahm managed to beat her with 'cross court zingers' and she was 'furious'.

Kelley said of this:

"This can't be right. He was so good. I was so upset. I was actually mad for a day or two... We have not set foot on a tennis court since."

After both graduating, they lived together for two years before getting engaged and married in 2018.

Marriage and birth of their first child

The couple got engaged in 2018 and married in Bilbao, Spain, which is Jon's hometown.

It was a fairytale wedding. The couple wed in the same church Jon attended when he was younger with his grandmother.

Speaking before the big day, Rahm said:

"I think the part I’m looking forward to – in Spain, it's going to be a Catholic wedding, a church that I basically grew up going to with my grandma, and it's a really special place for all people of the City of Bilbao.

"And I think when I see those doors open and see her walking down the aisle for the first time, I think it's going to be what I'm looking forward to the most, that first moment of seeing her walk down the aisle."

The couple announced in November 2020 they were due to have their first child.

Unfortunately for Rahm, the due date coincided with the re-scheduled Masters Tournament at Augusta National.

Still, Jon was more than prepared to hot-foot it from the property had Kelley gone into labour.

He joked before the tournament:

"If anybody's thinking of a betting on me on the Masters, maybe think about it twice because there’s a chance I have to just turn around and leave that week."
