“Back to my roots for now. LOL me in 2014.”

Stephanie Niles “grew up in the Seattle suburb of Hunts Point” as per People Magazine.

Niles attended University of Washington in Seattle, where she pursued Accounting and Information Systems.

Now, her hometown team, Seattle Seahawks are headed to Super Bowl LX, where they will face the New England Patriots on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, California. This will be Seattle’s first Super Bowl appearance since 2015 and their fourth overall.

Meanwhile, Stephanie Niles’ fiancé, Jake Browning’s team, Bengals were eliminated from playoff contention on Dec. 14, when they lost 24-0 to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15.

In Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season, Browning had to step in after Joe Burrow got hurt with a turf toe injury in the second quarter against the Jaguars. The Bengals came back to win that game 31-27

After that win, the Bengals made Browning their starting quarterback while Burrow recovered.

Browning then started Week 3 against his old team, the Minnesota Vikings.

However, he failed to match the expection in Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5.

Next, on Oct. 7, Bengals traded a 2026 fifth-round pick to their division rival Cleveland Browns for Joe Flacco and a 2026 sixth-round pick.

The very next day, Flacco was named the Bengals’ new starting quarterback, and Browning returned to the backup role.

Jake Browning and Stephanie Niles started dating in 2018. They are both alumni of the University of Washington in Seattle.

Browning proposed to Niles in 2024.

“HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!!!! 💍💍💍💍,” she wrote in the caption on Instagram while announcing the news.

The proposal took place in Malibu.

Niles has also had a global upbringing.

She was born in Hong Kong SAR. When she was three, her family moved to Shanghai, China.

Niles came to US in 2005.
