Meet Chris Fowler: The Sports Icon and His Love Story

USAMon Jan 20 2025
Ever wondered who's been the voice of excitement in your Saturday night football games? That's Chris Fowler, a broadcasting legend with a life as interesting as his commentary. Born in Denver but raised in Rockford, Illinois, and State College, Pennsylvania, Chris grew up with a love for sports. By the time he was in college at the University of Colorado Boulder, he was already making a name for himself in sports broadcasting. In 1986, he joined ESPN and started hosting Scholastic Sports America, marking the beginning of his long career with the network. Let's talk about love. Chris found it in the most romantic way possible—in Paris with his now-wife, Jennifer Dempster. Jennifer was a fitness model and even had some acting roles in movies like It's About Time and Marci X. But it's their love story that's truly a headline. Chris proposed to Jennifer during a trip to the Tour de France in Paris, and they tied the knot at Oheka Castle in New York. Despite being in the public eye, they've kept their relationship low-key. When it comes to Chris's career, he's done it all. From hosting College GameDay for 24 years to being the voice of ABC's Saturday Night Football, he's covered it all. And he's not just about football—he's also the face of ESPN's tennis coverage and has covered other major sports events. With a net worth of $14 million and an annual salary of $3 million, Chris has made a name for himself in the sports broadcasting world. Off-screen, Chris and Jennifer balance their busy careers with quality time together. Whether it's reliving their Paris memories or quiet nights at home, they're a team in every sense of the word. Chris's love for sports and Jennifer's fitness enthusiasm create a perfect blend of sporty and active lifestyle.
