Izzy was born on Oct. 18, 1998. She and her three siblings, sisters Millie and Abbie and brother Luke, were raised in Birmingham, Ala. Growing up, Izzy spent 14 years as a gymnast, moving on from the sport just shy of her 17th birthday.
“Approximately 3,320x I have put on a leotard and looking back, I do not regret one bit of it. Gymnastics is a tough sport… It came with a heck of a lot of sacrifice, blood, sweat, tears, goals, lessons, challenges, fears, respect, teamwork and dedication,” she wrote on Instagram in October 2015.
Two years later, she graduated from the Evangel Christian School in Alabaster, Ala., where she also played basketball. Once she moved on to college, she spent some of her summers working as a counselor at Kanakuk Kamps in Branson, Mo.

Bo started his college career at Auburn University, where his father, Patrick Nix, also played as a quarterback. That’s where he met Izzy, an Auburn Tigers cheerleader, in June 2020.
“This guy is a true blessing lemme tell ya!!!! one year of knowing him and everyday gets sweeter 🤍,” she wrote on Instagram in June 2021.
Izzy graduated in May 2022. “i’ll never once take this for granted - standing next to these girls on gameday has quickly become my favorite thing,” she captioned a 2020 Instagram photo with three of her fellow cheerleaders.
Bo transferred to the University of Oregon ahead of the 2022-23 school year, and Izzy joined her soon-to-be-husband in his new college town of Eugene after graduating from Auburn.
“Trading in my orange & blue for green & yellow 💚💛🤭 next stop: OREGON!” she wrote on Instagram alongside a carousel of graduation photos.

After just over one year of dating, the pair got engaged on July 30, 2021, with Bo getting down on one knee at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn.
“I knew from the first moment I laid eyes on you that you were special,” he wrote on Instagram after sharing their happy news. "I cannot wait to be your husband. Here’s to forever with you, Izzy Smoke!”
Izzy shared a similar sentiment on Instagram, writing, “Bo Chapman Nix, it is my greatest honor and joy that you have chosen me to be your WIFE."

Bo and Izzy enjoyed a summer wedding in their home state.
Their nuptials were held at the Ridge Point Events Venue in Alpine, Ala., on July 2, 2022. Plenty of friends and family were in attendance, and the celebrations included unique elements like a bouncy house and surprise fireworks.
"Izzy, you are and will always be my greatest gift,” Bo wrote on Instagram alongside a carousel of photos in honor of their one-year wedding anniversary, to which Izzy responded in the comments, “BEST YEAR EVER!!!!!”
She said it was a "tough transition" moving to Oregon

Izzy may be the first to admit she didn’t expect to move to Oregon, but she had no qualms about starting over on the West Coast.
"It was definitely a tough transition coming out here, but I knew when we got engaged that we could live anywhere, be anywhere he could transfer, and so it’s been great,” she told Pac-12 Networks in September 2023.
Bo moved first, as Izzy still had a semester to finish up at Auburn before she could join him across the country.
“He came out here by himself, knew nobody, didn’t have me, didn’t have his parents down the street, nothing, and so he would tell me all the time, ‘I’ve realized that I can live on my own. I kind of feel like I’ve grown up,’ ” she recalled. “And I think that was great leading into our marriage, just him coming out here, growing. I feel like he’s always been mature and so wise and disciplined and one of the most driven people I know…”
They celebrate milestones at the beach

After their wedding, the Nixes jetted off to Mexico for their honeymoon. “Married the man of my dreams!!!!!!! & celebrated alll week long in CABO 😇🤪🐢💛,” Izzy wrote on Instagram in July 2022.
The beach is a favorite vacation spot for the pair. Izzy held her bachelorette party in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., in June 2022, and almost exactly one year later, Bo and Izzy took an “early” anniversary trip to Maui. Their tropical adventure included paragliding and plenty of beach time.

Izzy is certainly Bo's biggest fan. Since the 2024 NFL season kicked off in September, she has supported her husband at every Broncos home game, per her Instagram.
