Alyssa Takitaki is sharing one of the toughest parts of being married to a football player.
The NFL WAG, who is married to Sione Takitaki, took to TikTok on Monday, March 10 to speak out about the reality of being in the competitive industry.
In the video posted via her social media account, Alyssa shared details about how the NFL free agency system is affecting the couple’s lives. (Her husband Sione was released by his team, the New England Patriots, on February 19.)
“The NFL free agency is crazy,” Alyssa said, as she opened up about the less-than-glamorous side of professional sport. “I don’t know where I’m going to live. I don’t know where I’m going to live! We’re essentially homeless… for now.”

Alyssa went on to explain how the free agency system works — and how it can throw a curveball into the lives of the players and their families.
“But basically… free agency, they have teams calling,” Alyssa said. “You’re trying to figure it out. I have no idea where we’re going to be though, and it always happens this way where you think you’re going somewhere and then last minute… you’re actually going over here.”

During the clip, Alyssa admitted that being married to an NFL player means having to accept and embrace uncertainty.
“The only sure thing in the NFL is that it’s unsure,” she said. “I don’t know where we’re going to be, but I can count on the fact that we don’t know where we’re going to be.”
She then joked: “I physically have to, like, slap myself when I start looking for homes or rentals on Zillow is just insane.”
After meeting at Brigham Young University in Utah, Alyssa and Sione began dating in 2015 before tying the knot in 2016. The couple welcomed their first son, Zion, in spring 2024.

Sione opened up about how crucial his wife is to his success during an interview with WYKC in 2019.
“I feel like, for me, I got really lucky,” Sione told the outlet. “I married a great girl. Saw her in church — beautiful. She just has everything right. Always pushing me to do better, and I feel like before I was always making decisions on the fly and wasn’t really thinking.”
He added: “With a good girl by my side, she definitely has me thinking about every decision and things like that. I feel like we just fit. She is a great friend for me. She is going to be a great mom. Smart girl, really smart girl. I got really lucky. She is out of my league.”
