Tyreek Hill has officially tied the knot with Keeta Vaccaro, the sister of former NFL safety Kenny Vaccaro. And yes, that means "Cheetah" can now call Keeta his wife.
The Miami Dolphins wide receiver made it official with Vaccaro on Wednesday in Travis County, Texas, according to TMZ. With his team on a bye week, the newlyweds can celebrate accordingly.
So, just who is Hill's new wife?
Keeta Vaccaro Comes From an NFL Family
Vaccaro is a fitness enthusiast and social media influencer who has nearly 50,000 followers on Instagram. It's unclear how the pair originally met, but she reportedly graduated from the University of Miami, the same city where Hill currently plays.
She's the sister of former first-round pick Kenny Vaccaro, who the New Orleans Saints drafted 15th overall out of the University of Texas in 2013. The safety played in the NFL for eight seasons, his last coming in 2020. He had 10 interceptions and 610 tackles over his career. They also have an uncle, A.J. Johnson, who played in the NFL and won Super Bowl XXVI with the Washington Redskins.
Hill may be leading the NFL in receiving yards, but he isn't the only one with ankle-breaking moves on the gridiron. Keeta can zoom too:
Hill originally popped the question back in 2021 on the Fourth of July. His engagement ring to Vaccaro was massive and featured more diamonds than his Super Bowl LIV ring from when the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in Miami.
"She's definitely got the most diamonds, man" Hill told TMZ in 2021. "We made sure of that, you know what I'm saying?!"
That wasn't the first time Hill had been engaged to a woman, and the last time was troubling for Hill.

Hill was formerly engaged to Crystal Espinal, who he dated in college at Oklahoma State. While at Oklahoma State, Hill pled guilty to domestic violence charges after Espinal, who was eight weeks pregnant with Hill's child, said Hill choked her and punched her in the face and stomach on Dec. 12, 2014.
Oklahoma State kicked Hill off the team and he spent his final season at West Alabama in 2015 before the Chiefs controversially drafted him in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
In 2019, Hill was investigated by police for battery involving Espinal and his 3-year-old son, who had a broken arm. A Missouri district attorney said neither Hill or Espinal would be charged with child abuse, as nothing could be proven. However, both parents admitted to investigators they spanked their son with their hands and a belt.
It wasn't until KCTV5 released audio of a conversation between Hill and Espinal that the Chiefs suspended the star receiver. In the conversation Espinal secretly recorded, Hill can be heard saying, "You need to be terrified of me too, dumb b****," in response to Espinal telling him their son was terrified of Hill.
The NFL concluded its own investigation and on July 19, 2019, it announced it would not be suspending Hill.
"Similarly, based on the evidence presently available, the NFL cannot conclude that Mr. Hill violated the Personal Conduct Policy. Accordingly, he may attend Kansas City's training camp and participate in all club activities. He has been and will continue to be subject to conditions set forth by the District Court, Commissioner Goodell, and the Chiefs, which include clinical evaluation and therapeutic intervention," an NFL statement read.
"If further information becomes available through law enforcement, the pending court proceeding, or other sources, we will promptly consider it and take all appropriate steps at that time."
People don't forget, though. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was asked this year who on the team he wouldn't want to babysit his kid, and his answer was very pointed.
We asked Tua which @MiamiDolphins player he wouldn?t let babysit his kids.

Controversial past aside, it appears Hill and his new wife are happy.
