Giants’ Dexter Lawrence marries fiancée Donna McCain

Congratulations are in order for Dexter Lawrence. The Giants defensive tackle married his fiancée Donna McCain recently, according to a photo Julia Love, the wife of Seahawks safety Julian Love, posted Friday on social media. Lawrence and Love were teammates on the Giants for four seasons after New York selected them in the first and fourth rounds, respectively, in the 2019 NFL draft. Love signed a two-year deal with Seattle last March. The couple tied the knot at the The Bradford wedding venue in North Carolina, as seen in photos at the stunning countryside property. Former Giants defensive end Leonard Williams — who was traded to the Seahawks last October after four seasons with New York — was also in attendance, according to Sports Illustrated. The 26-year-old Lawrence looked dapper in a black suit. The bride was beautiful in a cream-colored dress with a thigh-high slit. Lawrence, who’s entering his sixth season with the Giants with training camp a few weeks away, proposed to McCain in July 2023. At the time, McCain shared on Instagram that Lawrence pulled off the surprise proposal by telling her they were checking out the progress on their then-new home. When the couple walked into the home, they were greeted by their family and friends, who were filming her reaction while Lawrence got down on one knee. “Today, tomorrow and forever,” she wrote in a post on Instagram announcing the couple’s engagement. “You are the man I’ve prayed for, my favorite human in the world and my absolute best friend. Let’s do this life thing.” Williams and his girlfriend, Hailey Lott, were also at the engagement, as seen in photos of the couples. Lawrence and McCain — who is the owner and executive chef of Elite Performance Cuisine, as well as a certified pilates instructor — have been together since at least 2021, according to her Instagram. The couple is said to have met at Clemson, where Lawrence played for the Tigers and McCain worked as an executive performance chef for the football team. Lawrence is coming off of a career season in 2023. The 6-foot-4, 340-pounder recorded 21 quarterback hits, 4.5 sacks, 53 tackles and seven tackles for loss on his way to his second consecutive All-Pro nod and Pro Bowl honor. He signed a four-year, $87.5 million contract extension with the Giants last year.
