When you think of Myles Garrett, images of bone-crushing sacks, explosive power, and dominant play on the defensive line might come to mind. But behind the Cleveland Browns’ superstar lies a quieter story one that doesn’t make headlines every Sunday but has just as much heart: his long-term relationship with Serra Tumay, a woman whose talents go far beyond the sidelines.
From the Field to Real Life
It was around 2019 when fans began to notice a softer side of Garrett off the field. A snapshot here, a sweet caption there—and suddenly, the NFL world was introduced to Serra Tumay. Unlike the flashiness that often surrounds pro-athlete couples, Serra brought a different kind of shine: intelligence, calm, and purpose.
Serra isn’t just a pretty face cheering from the stands. She’s a licensed nutritionist, a former collegiate soccer player, and an academic powerhouse with degrees from NYU and Columbia University. While Garrett was pushing past offensive linemen, Serra was breaking boundaries in the world of sports nutrition working with elite athletes, consulting with major programs, and even launching her own company, Tohum Nutrition.
A Powerful Pairing
Their relationship blossomed in the backdrop of intense NFL seasons, early morning workouts, and the ever-demanding pressures of the spotlight. Yet, the two have remained grounded. They’ve kept their relationship relatively private, choosing to post only glimpses of their life together on social media—an intentional move in a world where oversharing is often the norm.
What stands out about their bond isn’t the glamour—it’s the balance. Myles, with his relentless drive on the field, and Serra, with her grounded expertise in optimizing human performance, seem to complement each other in every way.
It’s a relationship built not on headlines, but on health, support, and shared growth.
Tested by Life
In 2022, the couple faced a terrifying scare. While driving together, their vehicle swerved to avoid an animal and crashed. Myles walked away with minor injuries, and Serra thankfully was unharmed. The incident was a stark reminder that even elite athletes and health professionals aren’t invincible. But it also revealed something deeper: they’re stronger together, not just in success, but in recovery.
Since then, they’ve chosen a lower profile, staying focused on their respective careers while continuing to support one another quietly and consistently.
What’s Next?
As of 2025, Myles Garrett and Serra Tumay are not married, but their relationship continues to thrive. And while fans often ask whether wedding bells might be around the corner, the couple remains content with their current chapter—one built on mutual respect, health, and love.
For now, Garrett continues to dominate on the field, while Serra builds her legacy off it. Together, they remind us that behind every great athlete, there’s often someone just as impressive cheering them on not with pom-poms, but with purpose.
