Who is Devin McCourty’s wife Michelle? All about former Patriots star’s family

Devin McCourty has been a stalwart for the New England Patriots' defense for 13 NFL seasons, playing a key role in three Super Bowl-winning teams.

The defensive back from New Jersey also collected individual accolades, getting named to two Pro Bowls and three Second Team All-Pro selections. However, his drive to excel stems from the support he gets from his family, especially his wife, Dr. Michelle Powell-McCourty.

She's a physician who earned her Doctor of Medicine degree from the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in 2014. She did her residency at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now known as Rutgers School of Biomedical and Health Sciences).

When not attending to patients, she's a dedicated mother to three children. Their eldest, Londyn, was born on Mar. 11, 2017. Thirteen months later, they welcomed Brayden and then Chase William to their family on June 22, 2021. They conceived another child, Mia, but she passed away on May 2020, 31 weeks into Michelle’s pregnancy.

Michelle actively posts on Instagram, primarily photos of her children and activities she attends with Devin.
