Who is Jacob Payne?
Professional American Football player Jacob Payne was born under the zodiac sign Cancer on 18 July 1990, in Detroit, Michigan USA. He’s currently playing for the Arizona Rattlers of the Arena League, while he’s perhaps as well known for being the husband of American reality TV personality Natalie Nunn.
Education and early life
Jacob was raised in Lansing, Michigan, as his family moved there not long after he was born; he respects his family’s privacy and rarely speaks about them in public, but it’s believed that his father’s a high school football coach and his mother a housewife. Jacob’s believed to have three siblings, though he’s yet to confirm this.
Jacob fell in love with football while still attending a local elementary school, but it was only upon enrolling at local high school in 2004 that he began thinking about pursuing a career as an athlete; besides football, Jacob also played basketball and baseball during his teenage years.
He matriculated in 2008, and then continued his education at Central Michigan University, showing remarkable football skills and becoming one of the best players at the university. Jacob graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in 2012, and then focused on his football career.
Jacob’s career
Jacob joined the Arizona Rattlers of the Arena League not long after graduation; the league’s known for being the highest level of American indoor football. Jacob could’ve been seen playing for various other teams over the years, including Nebraska Danger, San Jose Sabercats and Spokane Shocks.
He attracted a lot of attention in 2014, when he scored 39 catches for 200 yards in 13 games, while also numbering six touchdowns.
He’s today playing as both a defensive back and a wide receiver.

Love life and relationships
Jacob’s quite secretive when it comes to sharing the details of his love life with the public but because his wife’s a reality TV star, a lot about their marriage is known.
The two met and began dating in October 2011, and exchanged vows in a small and private ceremony in 2012; the wedding was featured in two episodes of the reality TV show “Bridezillas”, which aired on 28 October and 4 November 2012. On 12 November, Natalie revealed that she was pregnant, also that she’d suffered a miscarriage in February 2015. She announced her second pregnancy in the second half of 2016, and Natalie gave birth to their daughter Journey Payne on 26 April 2017; Journey today has her own Instagram account, which is followed by over 70,000 people, and onto which nearly 900 pictures and videos have been posted.
There are no other women whom Jacob’s perhaps been with, that we know about, while it’s known that Natalie was in a relationship with American actor Olamide Aladejobi Patrick Alexander Faison from 2003 through 2009.
Interesting facts and hobbies
Jacob seems to be enjoying the attention which he’s receiving from his fans on the internet; he’s followed by over 80,000 people on Instagram, and has posted 78 pictures and videos, with most showing him spending time with his wife and daughter, showing off his many tattoos, or playing football.
Jacob’s physically highly active, and works out at the gym nearly every day, both because he enjoys it, and because it’s important for his football career to stay in shape.

Who is his wife Natalie?
American reality TV star Natalie Nunn was born under the zodiac sign Capricorn on 26 December 1984, in Concord, California USA. She’s perhaps still known best for having appeared in the fourth season (2009-2010) of the reality show “Bad Girls Club”, which has been airing since 2006, and today stars Neveen Ismael and Tanisha Thomas. It follows a group of rebellious women who’ve been put together in a house in an attempt to alter their behaviour.
Natalie was raised in Concord alongside her brother Ronald Nunn, by their father Earl and mother Karen Nunn; Natalie’s of African-American, Brazilian and Puerto Rican descent. The family eventually moved to Pleasanton, California, where Karen worked two jobs to raise her children – it’s widely believed that Earl had abandoned the family by then. Natalie studied at Aragon High School in nearby San Mateo, California, and was passionate about sports during her time there, running track and competing at the 2002 Junior Olympics.
Upon matriculating in 2003, Natalie enrolled at the University of Southern California, from which she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in 2007; during her time at USC, she was a member of the university’s women’s soccer team.
