Brent Grimes Wife
True, Brent Grime is a fine cornerback who is widely admired for his skills, but he is probably more famous as the husband of one of the most popular and controversial wives of NFL stars.

Like her husband, Miko is athletically inclined, she played basketball in college and later even professionally. With her experience as an athlete and host of sports talk shows, Miko represents Brent in various capacities and acts as his hype man and personal trainer. While Brent is reserved and tries to evade all attention, his wife has been talking all the time and is literally everywhere. When her husband was with the Miami Dolphins, she came to see quarterback Ryan Tannehill and blamed him for the team’s poor performance.
Legend has it that Miko believed Brent was gay when they first met. This was because the soccer player was overly shy back then. Miko once revealed that they were together for a month and he did not try to get intimate with her. So she decided to let him go, but Brent remained stubborn and eventually, they became a couple.
Meanwhile, it has been said from several sides that Miko’s attitude is dragging Brent’s career down; needless to say, the woman said plenty of unpleasant things in return. When the cornerback switched from the Dolphins to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2016, the owner of the Miami Dolphins, Stephen Ross, reported that the switch was a perfect way to clean up Miko’s mess.
But then Miko claimed that she deliberately became a thorn in the Dolphins’ side to get the team to let go of her husband. According to her, the cornerback was considering resigning because he was very unhappy with the situation at the Miami Dolphins and the team wanted a pay cut from him. Since the love of her life joined the Buc, Miko has taken every opportunity to insult his former team. Among other things, she has assured that his new team is well managed and that Brent is happy with his career again.
Miko is eight years older than Brent, and their association was blessed with a son named Aiden Grimes. Aiden was born in 2010, the same year that his parents became life partners. It is said that he is not a big fan of football.
