The Philadelphia Eagles' new defensive coordinator is Sean Desai. He was born in Shelton, Connecticut, on April 21, 1983. Fans are curious to learn more about Desai's personal life now that he will be responsible for improving the Eagles defense under coach Nick Sirianni.

Let's discuss the Desai family.

Sources claim that Suresh and Shila Desai, Sean Desai's parents, were born in India and moved to the U.S. in the 1960s. Sean loves maintaining a low profile; therefore, we are unsure if he has siblings.

Desai has three children and is married. Ojus Desai is the name of his wife. Ojus is presently the senior editor for Babylist. In 2021, she started working as a full-time author. She began writing for hire later that year. She worked at The Everymom as an associate editor from May 2018 to February 2019.

Sean Desai and Ojus married in April 2021, but there’s no information on how or where the couple met each other. The couple got married at the Chand Palace Indian restaurant in New Jersey during a traditional Indian wedding.
