Meet Brittany Blackledge: The Wife of Todd Blackledge and Her Life and Career


Brittany Blackledge, the wife of Todd Blackledge, is currently working for ESPN and has previously had experience working with NASCAR. Todd, the football commentator, has four sons from a previous marriage. One of his sons is pursuing a career in baseball at TCU, and his eldest son gained recognition for his basketball skills at Hope College. His children have a strong bond with Brittany and attended their father’s wedding in 2022. Blackledge, a former Penn State quarterback, spent seven years in the NFL before making the transition from playing to commentating. Todd started his broadcasting career with ABC Sports in 1994 and has previously worked for CBS and ESPN.

In early 2022, Blackledge left ESPN after 17 years to join NBC. He recently co-announced the Bengals-Steelers game with Noah Eagle, filling in for NBC’s usual pair of Cris Collinsworth and Mike Tirico. The changes were made after the college football season ended, and the NFL began playing four days a week.

Brittany Blackledge: Career and Interests

Brittany Blackledge, Todd’s wife, shares similar interests with the ex-NFL player, as they both work in the sports industry. Brittany graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in theatre/dance in 2010. Before that, she attended Copiah-Lincoln Community College for two years. Brittany began her sports career at NBC in 2010 as a stage manager for NBC Sports. Two years later, she joined ESPN as part of the production and talent coordinator team.

In 2014, Brittany began working as a stage manager for CBS Sports, where she worked for six years until 2020 and also served as NASCAR’s production manager. She left NASCAR in February of this year. Brittany and Todd got married on May 13, 2022. The exact date of their relationship’s beginning is unknown, though it is speculated that they may have met while working for ESPN. Brittany shared a few wedding day photos on Facebook. Todd was previously married to Cherie Blackledge.

Todd’s ex-wife has always preferred to stay out of the spotlight and continues to do so. Todd has shared photos of himself and his wife, Brittany, on his X account (formerly Twitter). Earlier this year, he posted a selfie of himself and Brittany at a TCU baseball game. Todd’s youngest son, Owen, plays infield for TCU. He captioned the image, “My kid plays for TCU, and my wife attended LSU, so we have all of the purple covered here in Omaha! Go, Frogs! Geaux Tigers!”

Todd Blackledge’s Children: The Analyst’s Four Sons

Todd and his former wife Cherie have four sons, all of whom have pursued various paths in life, with one of them being honored with the Jostens Trophy. Todd’s eldest son, Harrison Blackledge, received the Jostens Trophy in 2017. The award, established by the Rotary Club of Salem, recognizes basketball skills, academic success, and community service. Harrison played basketball at Hope College for four years and was the first Hope student to receive this award. After completing his education at Hope, Harrison attended Belmont University and earned an MBA. He now works as a Sales Service Executive for TelevisaUnivision and is married to Kristi Blackledge. Todd’s second son, Quinn Blackledge, graduated from the University of Michigan and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in counseling psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. He currently works as the YWD Case Manager at The Richmond Neighborhood Center. Their brother Eli Blackledge does not have a public presence on social media, so little is known about him.

Owen Blackledge: The Baseball Player

Owen Blackledge, Todd and Cherie’s youngest child, is a sophomore at Texas Christian University. He previously played high school baseball for North Canton, where he earned first-team All-Ohio and first-team all-Stark County district accolades. Standing at 6’3, Owen plays as an infielder. In 2022, as a freshman, Owen started four out of nine games, mainly as a designated hitter. He was selected for the 2022 Big 12 Academic All-Rookie Team. In his sophomore year, he participated in five games and achieved a.250 batting average. Owen can be found on Instagram under the account @lil_ledge06, where he shares photos with his teammates and action shots for TCU.
