It appears that Kerry Washington and her husband Nnamdi Asomugha are still having quite the year for new beginnings. Not only did the couple secretly wed earlier this year, but it was recently confirmed months ago by Kerry’s camp that the gorgeous actress is also pregnant. However, Nnamdi’s football career has stalled since he was dropped by the San Francisco 49ers.
The former NFL cornerback confirmed at a press conference on Friday, December 27 that he is officially retiring from the NFL. He tells reporters:
“After 11 seasons in the NFL, I will be retiring today. I’ve been blessed and fortunate to have a successful NFL career. Another journey is starting for me right now.
“Life happens.I just felt that it was the right time.”
When asked how his wife Kerry was taking his big decision, Nnamdi says:
“I’ve had a lot of support from my family. Everybody’s just been great about it.”
Nnamdi might be done with football, but he has plenty to fall back on considering he does lots of charity work and he also has a bachelor’s degree in Corporate Finance from University of California, Berkeley.
I wish them the best.
The lying azz National Enquirer is saying their marriage is already on the rocks because Kerry works too much. I hope that’s not true.
Gasp!!! I hope it’s not true!!!
Oh man. 🙁
Yeah he needed to retire. He’s been sorry for a good minute.
Very true ever since he left the Raiders he hasn’t been very good. At least he still has Kerry which means he is still winning.
I hope this doesn’t hurt their marriage.
It just seems like his career has been slowing down while hers is taking off. I hope this doesn’t strain their relationship.
I think he’ll be alright. He has a degree to fall back on and he could try to get serious in acting if he wanted to.
