Kelly Tyson – Jacob Trouba

Jacob Trouba met their future wife Kelly Tyson on Halloween in 2012 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The two were still attending college, with Tyson going to Australia after graduating to pursue her master’s degree. The two separated before the move, one might speculate as to a rational decision in the face of an extremely long-distance relationship. Trouba later visited Tyson in Sydney, a visit that saw the couple reunited. Tyson currently resides in Fort Lauderdale, completing her degree in medicine. She plans to do her residency in New York to be closer to Trobua. He values her career as much as he does his own and supports her decisions to pursue her passion in the medical field.
