5 Key Facts About BreAnne LaFleur, Matt LaFleur’s Wife
Sure! Here’s a rewritten version of the content with the HTML tags preserved:
The head coach of the Green Bay Packers, Matt LaFleur, and his spouse, BreAnne, didn’t have the smoothest beginning.
They first crossed paths when BreAnne was a student trainer at Central Michigan University, while Matt was serving as a graduate assistant for the football team. During one practice, BreAnne inadvertently wandered into a drill, prompting Matt to shout at her to move aside.
“Ironically enough, we met on a football field,” Matt recounted in an interview with The Athletic in 2019. “She was a student trainer, and I’ll never forget. I noticed her, and she remarked that I yelled at her the first time we spoke because she was in the way of a drill.”
What began as an awkward encounter led to a marriage that has blessed them with two children and taken them on a journey across the country, as Matt transitioned from mid-major assistant to head coach of one of the NFL’s most prestigious franchises.

Matt and BreAnne’s First Meeting at Central Michigan
Shortly after BreAnne’s practice interruption, Matt visited a tanning salon where BreAnne worked. They struck up a friendly conversation this time, leading Matt to ask her out after a few visits. The couple tied the knot in 2010.
Their Family: Two Sons, Luke and Ty
Their first son, Luke, was born in 2011, a year after their wedding. While Luke and his younger brother Ty, born in 2013, occasionally appear at their father’s press conferences, most of their upbringing has taken place away from the public eye.
Matt shared the challenges of raising children as a head coach, mentioning in The Athletic that when he accepted the Packers position, Ty would be moving for the sixth time in his life—before even turning six.
BreAnne’s Career in Pharmaceuticals
After earning her degree, BreAnne ventured into pharmaceutical sales in Ohio while Matt was the offensive coordinator at Division II Ashland. Eventually, she left her position to support Matt’s coaching career, allowing them to travel across the nation as he ascended from Division II to the NFL.
Aaron Rodgers’ Praise for BreAnne
Matt’s former quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, praised BreAnne during a 2021 appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, recognizing her as a “great mom.”
“I want to take this time to acknowledge his wife, Bre, since… many coaches would struggle without their wives,” he stated. “She’s a great wife, a wonderful mother.”
He continued, “They have two adorable boys, Ty and Luke, whom I had the chance to see before the game. Matt is truly a great guy and presents himself well on game day, but behind every successful coach is a wife managing all the details to ensure they look good, so here’s a shoutout to Bre.”
BreAnne’s Connection to the San Francisco 49ers
While BreAnne is undoubtedly a Packers supporter on game days, she also has a connection to the San Francisco 49ers. Her cousin, Dustin Perry, has been associated with the 49ers for eight years, advancing to the role of Vice President of Player Health and Performance.
