Zack Martin is a football guard who plays in the National Football League (NFL). He played for Notre Dame in college and was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 2014. Martin has earned spots on nine Pro Bowl and All-Pro teams and is on the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team.
Behind Martin’s successful NFL career stands Morgan Eifert, his partner and support. After years of dating, they tied the knot in 2016 and have since built a beautiful family with two children, showcasing a strong and happy marriage.
Morgan Eifert Comes From a Family of Athletes
Born to Julie Burns Eifert and Gregory “Greg” Eifert on October 22, 1992, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Eifert comes from a family with strong ties to Purdue University. Her father, Greg, attended Purdue from 1980 to 1984, earning a Bachelor of Science degree and playing basketball under coach Gene Keady. Her mother, Julie, is also a Purdue alumna.
Greg has led Midwest Optical Consultants Inc. as President since 1988 and has worked as a key account sales specialist during the same period. Morgan followed in her parents’ academic footsteps, graduating from Purdue University in 2015 with a degree in Elementary Education. Before college, she attended Bishop Dwenger High School, a private Catholic school in Fort Wayne.
Morgan has one older brother, Tyler, and two younger brothers, Grady and Griffin. Tyler used to play professional football for the Cincinnati Bengals and Jacksonville Jaguars. He is married to Rachael Kimack, and they have a son named Lennon.
Grady, her younger brother, played basketball at a university called Purdue. He didn’t become a professional basketball player, but he went back to Purdue to help out as a graduate assistant. Griffin, the youngest in the family, plays football at Notre Dame University as a wide receiver, which means he catches the ball. He plays in a position similar to what Tyler used to play.
Leads Happily Married Life with Husband Zack Martin
Eifert and Martin got married on July 2, 2016, at a private ceremony at the Fort Wayne Country Club. Although they kept their wedding private, Morgan posted a few pictures from their wedding day on social media later.
Before getting married, Zack proposed to Morgan in June 2015. He planned a special moment during a boat ride on a lake, where he asked her to marry him with a ring. After she said yes, they were greeted by their excited family and friends on the shore, ready to celebrate with champagne.
They had been dating for a few years before deciding to get married. Their relationship was mostly private, but Zack shared photos with Morgan on his Instagram from when they first started dating.
Morgan and Zack met when Zack was in his junior year at Notre Dame, where he was roommates with Morgan’s older brother, Tyler Eifert. Zack and Tyler were good friends, and Zack often visited Tyler’s home, which is how he got to know Morgan. However, they didn’t start dating until after Morgan finished high school.
Morgan is a Mother of Three
Morgan and her husband Zack welcomed their first child, a son named Charles Richard “Charlie” Martin, on March 7, 2019. The following day, Zack shared the joyous news on Instagram, expressing his gratitude with the caption: “Squad! Charles Richard Martin. 9lbs 4 oz. we are so lucky to have a momma to take care of us like @morgan.martin70. She was such a champ! #Martinpartyof3.”
This announcement was accompanied by a photo, marking the beginning of their journey as a family of three. Before Charlie’s arrival, Morgan had shared a sonogram image on her Facebook, teasing their friends and family about her pregnancy.
Nearly two years after Charlie’s arrival, the Martin family welcomed their second child, a daughter named Remi Ann Martin. As before, Zack took to Instagram to announce the news, this time sharing a touching photo of Charlie holding his new sister, Remi.
The duo welcomed their third child, Hudson Gage Martin, into their family on February 20th, 2024. His arrival was swift but came with challenges, leading to a ten-night stay in the NICU.
