Mitch Morse and his now-wife Caitlin met while both were student athletes at the University of Missouri. Morse played offensive line for the Missouri Tigers football team, while Caitlin was a track and field athlete specializing in pole vaulting.
The two met through mutual friends and their relationship took off quickly during their college years. They were known to attend formal events together around campus and became a fixture of each other’s social media feeds. According to friends, their shared dedication and commitment to athletics formed a strong bond.
Shortly before Morse was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the 2015 NFL Draft, he solidified his love for Caitlin by proposing marriage. The timing aligned perfectly with the next stage of Morse’s journey.
Caitlin Helped Mitch Through Multiple Injuries in His NFL Career
Morse impressed early on with the Bills, starting all 16 games at center in his rookie NFL season. However, his ascent took a detour when he suffered an ankle injury that forced him to miss 10 games in 2016. Caitlin provided critical support during Morse’s recovery that year and subsequent rehab.
Unfortunately, injuries have continued to plague Morse’s NFL career. He played through pain in 2016 but was shut down late in 2017 due to another foot issue that required surgery.
Most recently, Morse was sidelined for the entire 2019 season after suffering a concussion in training camp. Caitlin has been outspoken on social media about Mitch’s recovery struggles during this stretch. Her comfort and steadfastness has helped Morse push through difficult periods.
No doubt Caitlin’s support behind the scenes has been invaluable for Morse’s resilience through 4 straight years with significant injuries.
Wedding Bells Rang in 2020, Leading to More Success for Mitch
After a long engagement period due to Mitch’s burgeoning NFL career and recovery periods, Mitch & Caitlin finally tied the knot in 2020 during the short offseason window before COVID-19 lockdowns began. They had an intimate ceremony with close friends and family.
According to observers, Morse had one of his best NFL seasons in 2020 after the wedding. Whether due to coincidence or added comfort in his personal life, he ranked highly among centers according to Pro Football Focus. Morse followed up with another strong 2021 campaign, starting 17 games for the Bills.
Morse And Caitlin Have Now Welcomed Two Children
In April 2021 shortly after the conclusion of Mitch’s 7th NFL season, Mitch and Caitlin Morse announced via Instagram that they were expecting their first child. Their baby boy was born in September 2021.
The Morses shared the next year that they had another little one on the way. They welcomed a baby girl in June 2022, expanding their family of four.
Between recovering from his injuries and focused time for his family, Mitch Morse achieved an admirable life balance despite the ever-present pressures facing NFL players.
Having children represented crossing into the next stage of life for the long-time couple. No doubt Caitlin has continued providing exceptional care and comfort through pregnancy, childbirth and parenting just as she has throughout their relationship.
The little ones will grow up watching dad anchor the Bills’ offensive line on Sundays. And whether the team succeeds or struggles, they’ll come home to both Mitch and Caitlin’s steadfast support.
The Morses Remain United Through The Wins And Losses
As Mitch Morse continues battling for the Buffalo Bills deep into the playoffs during the peak years of his career, his college sweetheart turned wife Caitlin has remained loyal by his side each step along the way since their days together at the University of Missouri.
Through 3 children, injuries, relocations, career changes, family milestones and more – their commitment hasn’t wavered. Both have proven fiercely dedicated to their family.
When Mitch hits the turf after another punishing block, he can take comfort knowing Caitlin is holding down the fort back home. And as Caitlin hustles to show houses to clients in between doctor’s appointments and ballet lessons for the kids, she feels at ease knowing Mitch has saved up years of NFL paychecks thanks to her financial prudence.
Their support flows both ways. And despite the chaotic lives each leads professionally, everything calms when they’re together in their cozy home. The fires that forged their bond back in Columbia, Missouri still smolder – now carrying them into the future as a happily married couple with promising careers and kids to raise.
One big reason Mitch keeps fighting? He doesn’t want to let down that cheers louder than the 70,000 screaming fans combined at Highmark Stadium…Caitlin and the little ones. That type of strength is why the Morses keep going strong through whatever comes next on the horizon.
Caitlin Has Built Her Own Career As A Realtor
In addition to supporting her husband Mitch, Caitlin Morse has also established her own career in recent years. She became a licensed real estate agent in 2018, joining a brokerage firm in the Kansas City area not long after Mitch was signed by the Buffalo Bills.
Caitlin has quickly earned recognition for her strong work ethic and savvy as a realtor. She uses social media effectively for networking and showcasing new home listings.
Balancing both family duties and real estate likely keeps Caitlin extremely busy. However she appears to handle these responsibilities with grace. Her various skills as a supportive wife and mother in addition to a successful career woman make Caitlin a great role model.
Just as Mitch spent 2018 adapting to his move to Buffalo for football, Caitlin has also adjusted smoothly to their new community. She sells homes primarily in the suburbs around Kansas City according to her professional profiles. As longtime Missouri residents, they both continue showcasing their midwest kindness and values – whether at work or at home.
Conclusion:
Throughout all the adversity both on and off the field since 2015, Caitlin Wilson (formerly Caitlin Morse) has been the rock that Mitch Morse has leaned on. This support started all the way back during their college days at Missouri when their relationship first sparked.
Caitlin has helped Morse endure tough injury recoveries including significant time missed in 2016, 2017 and 2019. Her comfort allowed Morse to overcome these physical hurdles along with the mental strain professional football often brings.
Finally, after planning a wedding for years around Mitch’s playing schedule and rehabs, they tied the knot in early 2020. The stability from their marriage preceded Mitch’s strongest seasons yet in Buffalo – perhaps not coincidentally. One thing is clear: Caitlin’s steady presence since their days at Mizzou has weathered all storms right alongside Mitch.
