Derrick Henry has had a successful career in the NFL as a running back for the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens, and his girlfriend, Adrianna Rivas, has been there from the beginning.
Rivas and Henry started dating in 2016, the same year he was drafted by the Titans in the second round. Since then, the couple have welcomed two daughters together.
Although the transition to fatherhood wasn’t without its difficulties — Henry joked with Kevin Hart on his show Cold As Balls that he wasn’t sleeping much as a new father — the four-time Pro-Bowler said, per The Athletic, that his family is “all the motivation I need in this world.”
Henry and Rivas’ family are close to some of his teammate’s families, including quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
“There’s a lot of things we can be happy about. His wife and my girl, they’re close. My little girl loves his kids,” Henry said of Tannehill after the running back played his final game with the Titans in 2024.
So who is Derrick Henry’s girlfriend? Here’s everything to know about Adrianna Rivas and her relationship with the Baltimore Ravens running back.
She is from Texas
Rivas was born in Texas in 1994 to Simona and Joe Rivas, and has two brothers: Daniel and Adriel. After growing up in Odessa, she studied at the University of Texas, and got a bachelor’s degree in public relations in 2016.
She’s close with her family and sometimes posts photos of her parents, siblings and grandparents on Instagram.
In August 2020, Rivas posted photos of her grandparents meeting her daughter Valentina, writing, “I’m so blessed to be able to still have three out of my four grandparents. My heart is so full seeing my daughter and her great-grandparents.”
