Adam Thielen is a football superstar who was a starter for his home-state team right out of college. He is, however, just Adam to his wife Caitlin Thielen.

That isn’t to say she doesn’t recognize the significance of her husband’s title. According to the Vikings News,

Caitlin has been a rock in Adam’s corner throughout his career, and her support has been incredible and steadfast. Adam admitted as much. He also makes a point of telling his beautiful wife how much she means to him.

“I tell her all the time that I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her,” Adam added. “She gives me the freedom to do the things I need to do to be the best football player and husband I can be.”

The Wife of Adam Thielen Pushes Him to Be the Best

Adam appreciates not only her assistance, but also her competitive attitude. Caitlin is frequently more competitive than Adam, which he claimed was difficult.

Adam joked that his wife’s competitive nature had helped him be the best he could be on the field, but it had made playing board games at home far more difficult.

“She is, without a doubt, one of my harshest critics… She is as knowledgeable about the game as I am “Adam went on to say. “‘Man, what were you doing there?’ she’ll say when I get home. ‘How come you missed that one?'”

The NFL star’s wife was not one to sugarcoat his shortcomings, making her one of his harshest critics, another quality he deeply appreciates.

All that said, it’s not just his wife’s love, support, and criticism that Adam has waiting for him at home. He also has a family of five.

Adam Thielen and His Wife Have a Family of Five

Adam and Caitlin were a family of four with their two sons, Asher and Hudson, until last Christmas, when they announced they were expecting to have another baby.

Caitlin was the one to break the news via her Instagram, where she shared a collage of Christmas-themed pictures, but with a special revelation.

The two Thielen brothers were dressed in sweaters with “Big Brother” printed across the torse as the two were holding the letters H & O in each hand — “Ho, Ho, Ho.”

Well, the last picture in the collage wasn’t the jolly “Ho,” tho! Instead, it was an “Oh!” with the couple acting surprised. The second snap saw the whole family posing with the soon-to-be elder brothers, posing with their sister’s sonogram reports.

And on June 22, 2021, the Thielens were a family of five with the addition of the couple’s youngest daughter, Cora Hean Thielen.
