With both being sports-minded, there’s no doubt Carli and Brian have gone head-to-head in some form of competition during their long-term relationship. Brian even said Carlie is “by far the most competitive person I know” in a Sports Illustrated interview. “He laughs because he says I always go in harder against him. And I’m like, ‘No, you always go harder against me.'” Carlie responded in the interview. “It gets heated, we’ll lay each other out,” she added. ““You know, it’s fun, we get to banter, we get to be outside the relationship lovey-dove type of thing and go battle.”
