Deon Bush’s wife, Amina Smith, 31, met him while attending the University of Miami. Smith is presently a host for NBC Sports Boston. Deon Bush, the Kansas City Chiefs safety, had a memorable year in 2023. He became a parent for the first time, and later that month, he earned his first Super Bowl championship alongside Patrick Mahomes and company. Bush, a fourth-round choice in the 2016 NFL Draft, played his first six seasons with the Chicago Bears. The Chiefs signed him as a free agent in 2022, and last year he agreed to a one-year deal.
Deon, the Chiefs’ safety, recently had a remarkable effort in the second half of a game against the Baltimore Ravens. He made the game-winning interception in the endzone in the fourth quarter, enabling the Chiefs to return to the Super Bowl.

Deon Bush And Amina Smith’s Relationship Timeline
Deon Bush and Amina Smith, a football couple, started dating in Miami. When Amina went to the University of Miami, Deon was in his first year. Bush was a standout defensive player at Miami during his four years there. On March 16, 2014, Amina released the first picture of herself with her partner. She captioned the photo, “Church on Sunday,” and a couple of her pals joked in the comments section about when she began going to church. After a few months, Deon was spotted standing with Amina at her graduation ceremony, and Amina did the same a year after that.
Amina posted a picture of Deon wearing Bears clothing and embracing her when he was picked by the team in 2014. She wrote, “Blessings on blessings on blessings.” After four years of dating, the Bush proposed to Amina on one knee on a trip to San Jose, Costa Rica. Amina uploaded a series of photos from the trip, as well as one of her large rocks.
A few months after the proposal, the couple had a party in Chicago, Illinois, followed by their engagement picture sessions. The pair intended to marry on June 20, 2020, but the marriage was postponed owing to the worldwide pandemic. On February 20, 2021, the pair finally went down the aisle in front of their closest relatives and friends. Amina released a few stunning photos from the event, but the player has chosen not to reveal too much about his personal life on Instagram.
Deon and Amina Are Parents
The couple revealed that they were expecting a son on September 11, 2022. Amina tweeted photographs of herself and Deon holding sonograms while dressed in color-coordinated attire. Amina captioned the image, “This word has been on my heart since the beginning of the year, and now I believe I know why. We couldn’t be more delighted about this new chapter in our lives. I can’t wait to meet you, baby boy. Last January, the couple did a pregnancy photoshoot. In the shoot video, it is revealed that they decided to call their kid Deuce. A month later, Amina posted the first picture of their kid.
Amina was unable to attend the University of Phoenix Stadium to see her husband earn his first Super Bowl ring. But maybe Amina and Bush Jr. will support Deon in Las Vegas this year.
