From a dating app to the altar.
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff gushed to The Post about his fiancée, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Christen Harper, ahead of the power couple’s summer nuptials in California.
“She had a great time on her bachelorette [party] with her friends and we’re right in the thick of the wedding planning right now,” Goff said while discussing his recent partnership with Jared Jewelers to honor Detroit, which is home to the 2024 NFL Draft starting Thursday night.

“It’s coming this summer, we’re excited. She’s been doing a great job with it. I’ve been fairly uninvolved… but I’ll give my input when asked,” he said, laughing. “But she’s done a really good job of getting everything ready for the wedding and the day-to-day. There’s tasks for her to handle kind of every day.”
As for Goff’s favorite part of wedding planning?
“The food, the drinks, the music and all that is the fun stuff,” he said. “I’ve definitely been a part of that.”

Harper recently returned from her bachelorette party, which took place in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and featured a yacht excursion, theme nights and temporary tattoos of Goff’s face, according to social media photos.
“Those were good,” Goff said, laughing. “Those were funny, her friends made them.”
Goff proposed to Harper in June 2022.
“Still on cloud 9 from the best weekend of my life,” she wrote on Instagram at the time, including photos of her stunning oval-cut engagement ring.

Harper and Goff were first linked in January 2019, when he was with the Rams — and a month before Los Angeles faced Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LIII. The Rams lost, 13-3.
She confirmed their relationship that February when she shared a photo of herself arriving at the Super Bowl in Atlanta.
The model previously shared that she immediately fell for Goff after first connecting on a dating app.
Their relationship began before Harper became a household name with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, something Goff is especially proud of her for.

“It’s been fun to see her thrive in that now,” Goff said. “It was outside of her comfort zone when she initially applied for it and did the swim search, and then was chosen. She was a rookie of the year.
“It’s been fun and really cool to see her become comfortable on that platform and grow her voice in that way. I know she’s got a lot of things that she wants to do and help people — and she’s very passionate about animals, so helping animals, and all that. All of this has been helpful for that larger mission.”
Harper landed her first feature in the 2021 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue when she was selected in the publication’s Swimsearch that year.
She was named Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s Co-Rookie of the Year in 2022, along with fitness model Katie Austin, after the pair won the Swimsearch the previous year.
Harper appeared in the 2023 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and modeled a number of sultry bikinis on location in the Eastern Caribbean.
She also volunteers with organizations such as Girls Inc., Forgotten Harvest and Farm Sanctuary — and mentors young girls through self-esteem and positivity workshops at the Detroit Lions Academy in partnership with the Pure Heart Foundation.
Harper engrained herself in the Detroit community when Goff was traded to the Lions in January 2021 in a blockbuster exchange with the Rams for Matthew Stafford.
Giving back to the community is another way the couple enjoys their limited free time together with their busy schedules.
Goff and Jared Jewelry recognized Give Merit, a Detroit-based nonprofit whose FATE program aims to help Detroit youth graduate and receive college scholarships with a $50,000 donation to increase the potential of Detroit’s next generation.
They also surprised three superfans with the same Breitling watches Goff gave to his offensive line at the end of the 2023 season — when Goff led the Lions to their first playoff win in 32 years, a 24-23 wild-card victory over the Rams on Jan. 14.
Goff was especially happy to give back to his city during an exciting time as Detroit is the home of the 2024 NFL Draft, which begins Thursday and runs through Saturday.
“We don’t pick until late in the first round, so we’ll have to wait a little while,” Goff said, referring to Detroit’s No. 29 overall selection. “I’m excited to be a part of it.”
The 2024 NFL Draft begins Thursday at 8 p.m. ET and will air on ESPN and ABC.
