Who Is Her Husband?
First let’s talk about her husband, TV Personality Colin Cowherd. Born Colin Murray Cowherd in January 1964, he is a radio host and American sports media personality.
Born in Aberdeen, Washington to an American father and a British-born mother. Colin also has an older sister named Marlene Cowherd. He grew up in Grayland, Washington, a small fishing village some 130 miles away from Seattle.
While he was young, his parents divorced because of his father’s alcoholism. He and his sister were raised mainly by their mother.
The radio host often describes himself as a loner during childhood, spending most of his time sitting on his roof, listening to baseball games on the radio. Fun fact: he played quarterback for the football team and was a guard for the basketball team at Ocosta High School in Westport. Here is another fun fact: he was a roommate with football player and coach Jim McElwain.
Colin began his broadcasting career as the play-by-play voice for the San Diego Padres Triple-A affiliate, Las Vegas stars. He eventually became a sports director at KVBC in Las Vegas, where he was named Nevada’s Sportscaster of the Year five times.
In 2003, he was selected to replace Tony Kornheiser for the late-morning time slot on ESPN radio. His show, The Herdwith Colin Cowherd, was transmitted to ESPN Radio affiliates and online from 2004 to 2015. During that period, he worked at ESPN and even added a simulcast on ESPNU.
His show is all about commentary on sports news, perspective on other news stories, and interviews with popular sports figures. While he is primarily a sports broadcaster, he reflects on his personal life and business as it relates to the world of sports.
Over the years, he has been part of several controversies during his time at ESPN. For example, in November 2005, ESPN issued an apology following his comments on the death of professional wrestler Eddie Guerrero. Colin described that death as not newsworthy before speculating on the cause.
Then in April 2007, he directed his listeners to blow up the sports blogThe Big Lead by simultaneously visiting the home page. Because the website couldn’t handle the influx of traffic, it was knocked offline for 96 hours.
In July 2015, he left ESPN. Network president John Skipper stated that Colin’s presence had been mutually beneficial. But the reality was that Colin made a controversial statement about Dominican Republic baseball players, which caused the network to suspend him.
There were multiple reports that he was already in talks with Fox Sports. Jamie Horowitz, who was at the time a Fox Sports executive, worked with Cowherd previously during their time at ESPN as a producer.
On August 12, 2015, it was officially announced Colin would join Fox Sports with a four-year deal. His show The Herd moved to Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports Radio.
Over the years, the popular radio host has earned a couple of awards, including Sports Illustrated’s2005 Radio Personality of the Year.
