Kenneth Walker III was the hero of Super Bowl LX, accruing 135 rushing yards in 27 carries for the Seattle Seahawks. In a game in which defense was king, Walker was the one to carry his team forward to the 29-13 victory.
Many are wondering what the star player’s current relationship status is, whether he’s married or not, or if he has a girlfriend. The reports say that he’s a bachelor in the open market, so someone could still snatch him up.
The player comes from an extraordinary 2025 season, where he ran for 1027 yards, with five rushing touchdowns in 221 carries for the Seahawks.
He’s also in the actual free agency market, as he just finished the final year of his rookie contract. He was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in 2022 out of Michigan State University, with the 41st pick in the second round of that year’s draft. The recently concluded season was the second in which he broke the 1000-yard mark, the first being his rookie campaign.
Kenneth Walker III on What the Super Bowl MVP Meant To Him
It seems like the moment hasn’t quite caught up with the Seahawks running back. In an article from Monday, posted on the team’s webpage, he’s quoted as saying that having won Super Bowl LX and the MVP award still felt surreal to him.
“Nah, I haven’t slept at all. I didn’t party though, I just went to my room and chilled with my family, but I just stayed up. This moment was big for me. It’s still surreal,” he said.
However, when asked if the moment would change him, he said it wouldn’t and that he expects to be the same person that he was before becoming a Super Bowl MVP.
“Like me personally?’ he asked. “Nah, I don’t think so. I feel the same. I don’t think it changes much.”
He did admit to looking forward to the traditional Disneyland trip that Super Bowl MVPs take with their families. He even admitted to being a fan of the brand.
“I’ve never been to Disney before, I watch Disney though,” he said with a laugh, noting he likes rides and was “excited to go.”
While he said nothing has changed, something has definitely improved for him, as he now has more leverage to negotiate his first post-rookie contract with the Seahawks or any other team that wants his services.
