Alex Smith's Quick Intro

NFL fans would have heard of the quarterback from Washington, at least for his various injuries if not for his passing ability. The 36 years old who used to play for the University of Utah, started his NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers. Later he transferred to the Kansas City Chiefs and is currently playing for the Washington Redskins. He was also a gifted student, both at school and college. Alex Smith is one of those gifted players whose career has mostly been overshadowed by his numerous injuries, some of which threatened to end his career. Let’s take a look at how his family supported him through his tough times.

Alex Smith met Elizabeth Barry at a happening West Coast bar in the Bay Area. This was back when Alex was the quarterback for the 49ers, and Elizabeth was the captain of the cheerleading team at the Oakland Raiders. Both of them were with a friend, and luckily Alex’s friend happened to know Elizabeth since childhood.
When Alex approached Elizabeth at first, she declined his offer for a drink. Later, his friend asked Elizabeth for her number and slipped it to Alex. A few days later, when Alex reached out to Elizabeth, she was confused and miffed.
Eventually, it transpired that Alex’s friend had passed on Elizabeth’s number to him without her knowledge, and Alex was under the impression that she had intentionally given him her number. Elizabeth eventually called Alex back to apologize, and they spent the rest of the night talking.

Alex and Elizabeth had their first date on St Patrick’s Day in San Jose, California. Afterward, they met up with Alex’s close friend since high school, David Edwards, and had dinner. In 2007, they got engaged. In 2008, when Edwards committed suicide, Elizabeth helped Alex through the grieving process. She was grieving as well having lost an uncle around the same time. In 2009, Alex and Elizabeth exchanged vows at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco and honored both men at their wedding.

Alex Smith’s wife Elizabeth Barry was born on April 2, 1984. Not much of her life is known before she started dating Alex, and it has remained that way. She used to be a cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders from the early 2000s to the late 2000s.
After her marriage, Elizabeth has become very passionate about philanthropy. She is very active with the Hope House based in Kansas City, an organization dedicated to domestic violence prevention.
She is also a significant supporter of the Alex Smith Foundation, which is devoted to helping underprivileged children go to college. She is also very active on social media.
When Alex had a football accident in 2018 that nearly caused his leg to be amputated, Elizabeth supported her husband at every step of the way. Finally, when Alex recovered and was cleared to play in 2020, Elizabeth admitted she felt scared and nauseous watching him return to the field.
