The couple’s journey began during their time at Louisiana State University (LSU), where they not only met but also began dating. Interestingly, Garrett Nussmeier played a role in their introduction, as he was teammates with Campbell on the college football team. The romantic relationship blossomed during their college years and has continued to flourish.
Over the weekend, Ashlynn further celebrated their engagement by posting pictures from what appears to have been a lively engagement party. A heartwarming collage shared by her mother, Christi Hebert Nussmeier, featured snapshots of the happy couple surrounded by friends and family, accompanied by the upbeat tune “Marry You” by Bruno Mars.
Ashlynn, who is currently 21 years old, is the daughter of Doug Nussmeier, a former NFL quarterback who now serves as the offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints. Her brother, Garrett, has recently made headlines for being drafted in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. Meanwhile, Ashlynn is continuing her education at LSU and is expected to graduate in 2027. She is actively involved in campus life as a member of the Kappa Delta sorority.
The couple’s relationship became public on social media in 2024, with Ashlynn posting a TikTok video in December 2025 that humorously highlighted how her brother played matchmaker. The video featured clips of the couple embracing on the field at LSUâs Tiger Stadium, with Ashlynn’s commentary emphasising the importance of taking her brother’s advice on matters of the heart.
Throughout Campbell’s rookie season with the Patriots, which began in 2025, Ashlynn remained a consistent source of support. She was present during pivotal moments, including Campbell’s selection as the fourth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Following the announcement, Ashlynn took to Instagram to celebrate his achievement, expressing her immense pride. “My guy is a patriotđđ!!! Couldnât be more proud of you! Itâs been the sweetest to watch you walk through this process & how the Lord has used you through it all!! The most hard-working, dedicated, and humble leaderâyou have earned it!!

Will Campbell has also publicly acknowledged Ashlynnâs unwavering support and understanding of the demands that come with being an athlete. In an interview with US Weekly, he praised her for her knowledge of the sport and her ability to cope with the sacrifices they both have to make. “Sheâs amazing,” Campbell said. “If she wasnât as good with that type of stuff, Iâm sure it would be a lot more difficult. But sheâs a rock star.”
As the couple looks forward to their future together, their engagement marks an exciting new chapter in both their personal and professional lives. With both individuals immersed in the world of football, their shared experiences and mutual support seem to bode well for a promising relationship.
