Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs found his No. 1 cheerleader in girlfriend Nicole Anderson.
“26 is my lucky number 🦁,” Anderson wrote via Instagram in November 2024, referring to Gibbs’ jersey number.
The real estate agent hard-launched her romance with Gibbs one year earlier and has since become a staple at his Lions football games. (Gibbs was drafted by Detroit in April 2023.)
“Today is the last game of the regular season, so Isabelle [Sewell, who is married to Lions star Penei Sewell] is having a party bus at her house,” Anderson said in a January 2025 TikTok video. “Party buses are fun with all the girls. I’m really excited.”
After arriving at the stadium, Anderson hits the sidelines to give Gibbs a good luck kiss before heading off to her seat in the stands. At every matchup, Anderson stuns in custom Gibbs-inspired team merch.
Scroll below to see Gibbs and Anderson’s relationship timeline:
They started dating less than one month after Gibbs was drafted by the Lions.
“POV: U were planning on staying single then accidentally caught feelings,” Anderson wrote via TikTok on May 14, sharing a montage of PDA pics.
Anderson and Gibbs made their couple’s debut on Instagram on Halloween, in which they matched in Spider-Man costumes.
“In every universe,” she wrote, while Gibbs used the caption, “Stings doesn’t it?”
The next month, Anderson started sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of her game days.
“Rookie recap 💙💙 what a season!!,” Anderson gushed via Instagram, uploading pics of Gibbs in uniform.
The following March, they spent the offseason on a tropical vacation.
They dressed up as Shark Tales costumes for Halloween.
“You’d have to be crazy not to take me back,” Anderson captioned a post, quoting the animated film.
After Gibbs and the Lions earned the No. 1 seed in the NFC conference, they started their 2024-2025 playoff journey. Anderson, meanwhile, got all decked out to support her man from the stands.
“How thoughtful. @KendraScott sent me the cutest custom jewelry,” she wrote via Instagram Story on January 18 ahead of the divisional round.
Kendra Scott had sent Anderson a gold necklace with a “26” chain in the middle, alongside another chainlink cheer and two pairs of hoop earrings. She completed her fit with a black sweatsuit featuring Gibbs’ last name, signature and “Detroit.”
She was particularly excited when he scored a touchdown. “Let’s go baby,” Anderson captioned Instagram Story footage. (The Lions ultimately lost to the Washington Commanders, ending their 2025 playoff hopes.)
Gibbs shared a series of photos via Instagram from the couple’s recent adventures, including a trip to WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas and a day at Detroit Lions training camp.
“The cutest,” the Lions official Instagram account commented.
