A Timeline of Lions Star Jahmyr Gibbs and Nicole Anderson’s Relationship
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has found unwavering support from his girlfriend, Nicole Anderson.
“26 is my lucky number 🦁,” Anderson posted on Instagram in November 2024, highlighting Gibbs’ jersey number.
The real estate agent made their relationship public a year prior and has become a familiar face at his Lions games. (Gibbs was drafted by Detroit in April 2023.)
“Today marks the last game of the regular season, so Isabelle Sewell, married to Lions star Penei Sewell, is throwing a party bus at her home,” Anderson said in a TikTok video in January 2025. “Party buses are a blast with the girls. I’m super excited.”
Upon arrival at the stadium, Anderson visits the sidelines to give Gibbs a good luck kiss before finding her seat in the stands. For every game, she dazzles in custom merchandise inspired by Gibbs.
