Nessa Diab Reveals She Privately Married Colin Kaepernick “Years Ago”

Nessa Diab and Colin Kaepernick are way past their honeymoon phase.  

In clarifying the influence of the ex-NFL quarterback’s 2016 peaceful protest on his professional life, the television host disclosed that they had actually gotten married back then, as they’ve been together since 2015.

In her latest Instagram post, Nessa made it clear: “For every piece of content you come across, take a moment to investigate. Contrary to any speculation, I’m not Colin’s girlfriend, housemate, or anything similar. I am his spouse.

Regarding the timing of their wedding, the 44-year-old individual mentioned to TMZ Sports that they tied the knot “several years ago.

As a lifestyle aficionado, I’m happy to share some insights about my personal journey with my partner, Colin. Three years have passed since we became parents for the first time, and during that time, there have been questions swirling around our relationship status. Now, I thought it was high time to shed some light on this aspect of our life together.

In the spirit of transparency and excitement, I’ve been pondering deeply about the right moment to share our life-altering news, which I’ve chosen to disclose today. As I post this August 2022 Instagram snapshot of us cherishing our newborn, I find myself stepping out for work with a fresh title – MOM.

Recently, Colin and I have added an incredible new member to our family – our baby. We’re absolutely thrilled and can’t help but feel ecstatic about expanding our family!

Immediately following my joyful announcement, I graced the red carpet at the 2022 MTV Awards as a proud new mother.

After giving birth, it’s been quite a unique trip (I’ll elaborate later), but I initially hesitated to discuss anything because this experience is incredibly intimate to us. However, I couldn’t help but express how extraordinary Colin has been as a father, and I’m profoundly grateful that he’s been there with us every step of the way during this incredible journey.

More recently, the duo stepped out together for the first time as parents during the 2025 Met Gala.

Nessa shared with Vogue before the grand event in May that being a mom isn’t just about appearing well-groomed on the surface. It’s equally important for her to feel fantastic within. She added that many parents, especially those juggling childcare duties and other responsibilities, may find themselves under stress. Therefore, it’s crucial for her not to let this tension reflect on her face or body.

My parents are walking the red carpet, and we’re cheering each other on,” she enthusiastically shared. “I hope you’ll witness our mutual support when you watch us this evening.
