Date of birth: October 1970

Nowadays she is known as Catherine Aikman, or simply “Capa”, as her friends call her, but at the moment of her meeting with Troy Aikman, she was named Catherine Mooty. She met Troy in 2016, and he was a divorced man and single father of two daughters at that time. Capa was single, too and she was bringing up two sons Val and Luke, whom she welcomed with her ex-husband Jerry Mooty. Ironically, her ex-partner was connected with Dallas Cowboys as well. He is a nephew of the team’s owner Jerry Jones. After her divorce from Jerry, Capa focused her attention on motherhood and career – she owns a mobile fashion shop, titled “Luxeliner”. In 2016 she fell in love with Troy, and they started dating. Their romance ended with engagement (Aikman proposed to her while their vacation in Italy). They wedded on September 1, 2017. That was a private cozy ceremony in Santa Barbara, CA.

Nowadays, Troy and Capa look happier than ever. They spend a lot of time together and also care about their four children – Capa’s sons and Troy’s daughters.

Troy’s wife was born in Dallas, Texas in the family of George and Pamela Person. She still maintains warm relationships with her mother and father.

Date of birth: May 2, 1970

Capa is not the first wife of Troy. Previously, he was married to another beautiful woman, named Rhonda Worthey (Aikman). They met in 1998 when he was a famous Dallas Cowboys quarterback and she worked as a publicist for this team. They wedded in April 2000 and the next year parented their first daughter Jordan. The second daughter Ally entered this world in 2002.

Their family seemed to be happy, that’s why the news about their divorce, which came in 2011, shocked their fans. The divorce was officially finalized in April 2011.

Nowadays, Rhonda resides in a luxurious Dallas mansion. She stays close with her daughters Jordan and Ally. Besides, she has the oldest daughter from her previous marriage, Rachel Worthey.

Rhonda was going to star in the popular reality series “The Real Housewives of Dallas”, but then she refused it. The reason for such a decision is unknown, as well as the reason for her split from Troy Aikman.

In 1964 Ken married Charlyn Bailey and welcomed three children with her. He earned his living as a welder to provide his wife and kids with everything they needed.

Bio

The list of his accolades is almost endless – the Hall of Fame inductee, ex-Dallas Cowboys’ Quarterback, and Fox sports commentator Troy Aikman was born in Cerritos, CA. His family consisted of 5 members – a mother, father, and two younger sisters. The Aikman family moved to Henryetta, Oklahoma. He went to the local high school there, and that defined his future career way.

Troy made friends with his typing teacher Jean Froman. Due to her, he became the Oklahoma champion typist in 1983. But that was not the only great result of their collaboration. Jean told Troy about her older brother – the head football coach in Tulsa High School. That inspired the teenager to put more effort into his dream to become a professional American football player.

He continued to play football at the University of Oklahoma and then at UCLA, where he transferred in 1985. He became a legend in his alma mater, having scored 41 touchdowns.

In 1989 Troy was drafted by Dallas Cowboys, and that was the start of his professional career, which lasted 11 years. “Dallas Cowboys” was the only team he played for.

Probably, the year 1992 was one of the most prominent in his career. He passed 23 touchdowns and led his team to get 13 victories. He also threw 89 passes, having broken the record, previously set by Joe Montana.

In 2000 Troy got several concussions, and that prevented him from setting new records and showing successful performance during the match. That’s why Cowboys managers didn’t sign the new 7-year deal with him. The athlete decided to retire.

Unlike other American football players, Troy didn’t disappear from the radars. He changed the focus of his career and became a sports commentator for the Fox channel. Now he is considered one of the best NFL game analysts in the world.
