Jon Rahm won the 2023 Masters and all eyes are on the Spanish golf star! His first win at the famed tournament was topped off by a big congratulations from his gorgeous wife, Kelley Cahill. The gorgeous mother of his two young sons has been by his side since college and all during his hunt for the elusive green jacket. Let’s learn more about Kelley, below.
Kelley Met Jon In College When He Had ‘No Money’
Back in 2019, Jon spoke to Golf Digest about the start of his romance with Kelley, which began at Arizona State together. The pair were both athletes when they struck up a conversation that led to a date, where Jon had to make do on a college student budget.
“I had no money, I was living on a couple hundred bucks a month at most, so I had a budget,” Jon said of the first time out with Kelley, where he said they stopped by a dive bar for margaritas and tacos. “But we have some disagreement about this—we don’t know if that was our first official date, or if it was at a football game”.
Jon Designed Kelley’s Engagement Ring
When Jon popped the question to Kelley in 2018, his involvement was more than just getting down on one knee: he designed the gigantic engagement ring! “She wanted to pick the diamond, but I knew what I wanted,” Rahm explained to Golf Magazine. “I designed what’s around the ring. It’s supposed to look like a crown and an engraving inside. I had a big part in it. It wasn’t exactly what she wanted, but she loves it. It’s a little more personal like that.”
The couple would exchange vows in Spain on December 13, 2019.
Kelley & Jon’s First Son Was Born Amid The Masters
The pair announced in November 2020 that they were expecting their first child. The due date was actually supposed to coincided with Jon’s run at The Masters, with Jon telling Golf Digest, “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.”
Fortunately, the baby boy came a week early. “Kepa Cahill Rahm, was born 4/3/21 at 12:15am.” Jon wrote on Instagram. “Momma Kelley is doing great and recovering. Kepa is also in great health. He is 7.2 lb and 20.5inch, big boy from the Basque Country. Without a doubt the greatest day of my life!”
Jon often shares photos of his family, including his wife, to his Instagram. Kelley’s Instagram was set to private at the time of publication.
Jon Apologized to Kelley For Calling Their Son A ‘Souvenir’
Jon was asked if he had a souvenir outside from the Memorial Tournament trophy for his first time rising to No. 1. back in July 2020. “I do. His name is Kepa,” Rahm said, according to Golf Digest. “He’s almost two years old. Sorry, Kelley, but yeah. She can tell you the story more than me. We suspect that it was that night. Sorry,” Rahm added, cheekily suggesting Kepa was conceived at that time.
Kelley & Jon Surprised Kepa With A Baby Brother
The cute couple would go on to welcome a second son, Eneko, in August 2022. “Eneko Cahill Rahm born on August 5th, feeling grateful for another healthy boy! Kelley, Eneko and big brother Kepa are all doing great,” Jon said on Instagram. “We have had an amazing last few days soaking in these amazing moments as a family of four. Now time for the playoffs!”
