Philadelphia Eagles star right tackle Lane Johnson has something more to celebrate than another Super Bowl win.

Johnson is getting married! 

The Eagles' former 2013 first-round pick and two-time Super Bowl champ announced this week that he is engaged to his influencer girlfriend, Kelsey Holmer.  

"Now we both have rings!," Johnson wrote on his Instagram story. 

The cute couple met in 2022 following Johnson's divorce from his first marriage and have been together ever since. 

It's been a great few months for Johnson, who not only earned his second Super Bowl ring following a historic 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs but also signed a three-year contract extension with the Birds last month.

Eagles Locked in Lane Johnson through 2027

The Eagles added $8 million over the next two years to his contract and an additional $30 million in guarantees. Johnson will now earn $48 million over the next two years, including $40 million guaranteed.

Johnson couldn't be happier knowing he will eventually end his NFL journey right where he started it. 

"When you're about to turn 35 you tend to reflect a lot, especially in the league. Yeah, man, it's been a fun ride," Johnson said. "You know, coming into the NFL, you don't know what to expect, but, you know, this, this fan base, has really embraced me through the good and the bad. And I think that we've really the culture here has been a certain way for a long time. And I felt like I was introduced to something special. And in some aspects, we're able to carry on tradition. And I think that's what I'm most proud of. And with new teammates coming in to show them what Philadelphia is about, what this team is about, and what it's like in this building."

While Holmer gets the lucky advantage of getting Johnson forever, the Eagles have him under contract through 2027, which means he will be 37 when his new deal runs out.

When asked if he plans to stick it all the way, Johnson was very honest.

"I mean, it's, it's very possible," he said. "I think when you get to this stage of your career, you take it year by year. But physically, I feel really good. I was thinking, you know, a few years ago, when I was coming back from all these surgeries, that I thought my body was going to start failing or going downhill. But just think, with the strengthening and conditioning program we have here, the stuff we do in the off-season, I feel really good. So yeah, as long as I'm feeling good and I feel like I can contribute, yeah, I think I'll continue to play.

"You know, it's all I've really known. I love my football family. I'm an only child, so my brothers are here, and I've always been in the locker room, and that's how I feel."

Johnson led his position in pass blocking (83.1) and run blocking (92.2) in 2024. He also finished the year with his sixth overall Pro Bowl nod.
