Mark Sanchez, the former NFL quarterback turned broadcaster, is experiencing a major upheaval both on and off the field. The ex-New York Jets signal-caller and analyst was recently dismissed by Fox Sports following an October 4 altercation in Indianapolis that left him with stab wounds and facing felony and misdemeanor charges.
Simultaneously, he and his wife, Perry Mattfeld, are preparing to welcome a new addition to their family, making this a transformative moment in his life. Here, News47.us has all the facts about Mark’s children and family below.
Mark is a former NFL player that served as a quarterback for the New York Jets, followed by the Philadelphia Eagles, the Denver Broncos, the Dallas Cowboys, the Chicago Bears and the Washington Redskins. He retired from the league in 2019 and eventually joined Fox Sports as a sports broadcaster.
Mark married his wife, actress Perry Mattfeld, in 2023. She is best known for her roles in Shameless, The Idea of You and Chad Powers.
During a June 2023 interview with People, Perry noted that she and Mark incorporated their heritage into their ceremony.
“We are both of Mexican descent, and we loved the idea of celebrating there [in Oaxaca, Mexico],” Perry said at the time. “We visited Oaxaca a few years ago and fell in love, so we knew it was the perfect location for us. We also liked the idea of giving our friends and family a reason to visit Oaxaca!”
The then-newlyweds traveled to East Africa for their honeymoon.
