Julie Johnston got married to NFL player Zach Ertz in March 2017. The two had met through a mutual friend during their college years in 2012. They were both attending a baseball game at Stanford where Ertz schooled while playing on the varsity football team.

Johnston, at the time, was attending the nearby Santa Clara University where she majored in communications while playing football for the Santa Broncos.

Their relationship became a long-distance one when Ertz was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2013. Ertz celebrated his draft by asking his Nike rep to send Julie a fresh pair of studs with his number and initials on them.

“We’re on the same page as athletes in our career in the sense of how driven we are, so we got that connection right away,” Johnston told PEOPLE Magazine about their relationship.

After about 5 years of dating, Ertz took Johnston to the Stanford University stadium where they first met and asked her to marry him. Their wedding was held at Bacara Resorts Santa Barbara on the 26th of March 2017.

Their wedding was graced by a number of athletes including her national and NWSL teammates Christen Press, Alyssa Naeher, Sofia Huerta, and Jen Hoy. Some of Ertz’s Eagles teammates in attendance included; Jordan Hicks, Jordan Matthews, Lane Johnson, and Nick Foles. His former Standford teammate Ryan Hewitt who now plays for the Cincinnati Bengals was also in attendance.
