Jesse Palmer and Emely Fardo's relationship timeline

Jesse Palmer met Emely Fardo in 2017 in a boxing school in New York City called Rumble, which is well-known for its intense cardio sessions.

Palmer said, in an interview with Daily Mail, that when he first met Emily, he thought she was stunning.

"She wasn't in there when I met her; she was entering while I was leaving. Two weeks later, at Rumble, we went on our first date after we finally connected," he disclosed.

Palmer and Emely got engaged in 2019, two years after their first meeting. The former 49ers quarterback proposed to his girlfriend, which she readily accepted.

Palmer and Emely planned to wed in Provence, France in 2020 but had to reschedule for 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They instead conducted a small wedding at a friend's apartment in Connecticut, as they didn't want to wait around for so long.

Palmer and his spouse finally had the wedding they had envisioned in Provence, France, in July 2022. They welcomed their first child, a daughter, in January 2024.
