Tammy Bradshaw: The Fourth Wife of Former NFL QB Terry Bradshaw Didn’t Know Who He Was at First
Tammy Bradshaw captured the hearts of audiences in the reality show The Bradshaw Bunch, which aired on E! from 2020 to 2022.
Viewers were drawn to Tammy’s genuine, cheerful personality and the warm, supportive dynamic she shared with her husband, former NFL quarterback Terry Bradshaw, and their blended family.
Here’s everything we know about the lovable Tammy Bradshaw.
Who Is Tammy Bradshaw?
Tammy Bradshaw is former NFL quarterback Terry Bradshaw’s fourth and current wife. They were together for 13 years before the couple tied the knot in 2013.

When the duo started dating back in the early 2000s, Tammy admitted that she didn’t recognize who Terry was despite watching football her whole life. “We watched football every Sunday, but I don’t remember watching the Steelers play. I never saw him play in a live football game, either.”
During the first three months of their relationship, Tammy would notice the array of sports jerseys and trophies in her then-boyfriend’s home. One day, she asked Terry, “So, what’s up with the number 12?” and Terry responded with a laugh. “I had no clue!” Tammy told the Mirror in 2020.
In an interview with Closer Weekly, Terry Bradshaw admitted that he had been hesitant to enter a relationship with Tammy. They were both getting out of a bad divorce and when they first started seeing each other, Terry would “run and hide for six weeks, then come running back.”
Tammy stood by his side all throughout, patient. “I fought her for 13 years, and to her credit, not once did she ever ask, ‘Where’s this going?’”
Terry Bradshaw proposed to Tammy after their 13-year relationship, but it wasn’t a conventional proposal. On an episode of The Bradshaw Bunch, Terry admitted that their marriage was pretty sudden—so much so that they hadn’t even invited their kids due to it being so short notice.

“I passed Tammy in the hallway and said, ‘Oh, listen, we’re getting married Tuesday in Hawaii.’ She said okay. When we got there, she said, ‘If you’re serious, we need to get a license.’ So we got one. It was fun!”
Do Tammy Bradshaw and Terry Bradshaw Have Children Together?
Tammy Bradshaw and her husband, Terry, don’t have biological children together. However, they both have children from previous relationships.
Terry has two daughters, Rachel and Erin, with his third wife Charla Hopkins. Rachel Bradshaw, who was born on May 13, 1987, is known for her work in the entertainment industry, while Erin, born on June 27, 1989, is a professional rider and World Champion equestrian.
Meanwhile, Tammy had a daughter named Lacy from a previous relationship with David Luttrull in 1989. Tammy and David divorced when Lucy was young, so she never got to know her biological father all that well.

Tammy also had a son with David, Cody, who was born in 1985. Tragically, Cody passed away in 2009 due to a drug overdose. The loss greatly affected the Bradshaw family, tight-knit as they were.
In honor of Cody’s death, the family regularly donates to various charities that shed light on the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.
Rachel, Erin, and Lucy didn’t grow up together, but they’ve formed a close bond as adults and are often seen together on their reality TV show The Bradshaw Bunch.
What Is Tammy Bradshaw’s Career?
Tammy Bradshaw is a radiation therapist, philanthropist, and former model. She’s also a TV personality, appearing in various TV shows including The Bradshaw Bunch, A Football Life (2019), and two episodes of Celebrity Family Feud with her husband.
She’s fairly active on social media, regularly posting photos and videos of her home and of her and Terry spending time together. Tammy is actively involved in charitable work, focusing on raising awareness about the dangers of drug misuse and alcohol abuse.

The reason for her work is a tragic one: Tammy’s son, Cody, died of an overdose in 2009. In Cody’s honor, the Bradshaws regularly fundraises for the 535 Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about substance abuse.
Despite Being Together For Over Two Decades, Tammy and Terry’s Relationship Never Faltered
Tammy and Terry have a healthy, loving relationship. Their dynamics were shown in the reality show The Bradshaw Bunch.
In 2021, Tammy and Terry renewed their vows in the TV show. During the episode, Tammy said, “Our wedding was perfect, and he was so handsome. It’s hard to believe it was seven years ago.” Terry then jokingly replied, “What do you mean, ‘was’? Have I gotten ugly since then?”
Tammy explained that the reason they wanted to renew their vows was because they wanted their daughters to witness the ceremony. After all, their original wedding had been a last-minute decision, and none of their daughters were able to attend.

Tammy also never left Terry’s side when he was diagnosed with two types of cancer: bladder cancer and skin cancer. “I can’t put into words how thankful I am for her. I can’t imagine not holding her hand when we take off a plane or when we’re snuggling in bed together.”
