Personal Life

Being married to a professional sportsman with an unknown net worth, Danielle Okposo celebrated her wedding at a mansion in the region of Minneapolis. It is one of the classiest weddings that Minneapolis has ever seen. Photos of their wedding celebration were widely shared on Instagram. From their confessions, Danielle and Okposo come a long way since they have been familiar with each other from their high school days. That is to say, at age 14, Danielle and Kyle had crossed paths, particularly at a movie theater. The choice of Minneapolis as the preferable wedding location is understandable since it is Kyle’s hometown.  

From his biography, Danielle’s husband, Kyle, has been playing ice hockey professionally for some time. He currently plays at the position of a right winger in the National Hockey League for Buffalo Sabres. Five years before Danielle’s and Kyle’s marriage, Kyle started playing for New York Islanders.

Danielle and her husband are fond of pets and even own a dog. In several occasions, the social media has been graced with photos of Kyle and the charming dog spending time together. But, unlike her husband, Danielle is not an active social media person as she seldom posts anything. Clearly, Danielle prefers a quite life, especially being a mother to two children and the wife to a busy sportsman.
