New England Patriots star Antonio Gibson's wife has admitted she has one WAG game day tradition that she cannot get on board with.
The former flight attendant is a busy mom of three and has found that she has to prioritise her life as a mother over indulging in some of the activities her fellow wives and girlfriends enjoy. Victoria will spend mornings of game days getting the kids ready to go and watch their running back dad play at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

While many of the other New England Patriots WAGs will celebrate when the team scores by drinking a shot, Victoria says she can't always join them because she has to be responsible. She explained, "The girls are like, 'Every touchdown and pick we got we took a shot, you should've been there.' I was like, 'Man, I got three kids. I can't walk around drunk all the time.'"

Victoria has also opened up about how she knew nothing about football when she and Antonio first met, via Instagram. At the time, he was playing his rookie season for the Washington Commanders (called the Redskins at the time), and she didn't even recognise the name of the team.

She told PEOPLE, “I had to Google what ‘Redskins’ was because it sounded really familiar. I only attended Super Bowl parties for the Rotel dip and for the halftime show. So no, I didn’t know anything about football.”
Five years on, Victoria is now her husband's biggest supporter and brings their children and extended family along to cheer him on at any given opportunity. She has also become fully immersed in the WAG lifestyle. She regularly spends time with the other wives and girlfriends, calling them her "community."

She recalled that at the time they met, she was living in Washington, D.C. and had just come out of a long-term relationship. She worked long hours, and Antonio - who coincidentally attended the same high school as her near Atlanta - was suggested to her as someone she might know on Instagram.
She described how she followed him because “He looked familiar,” but didn't really expect anything to come of it, especially as he was verified. She shared, “I thought he was too busy — too popular — but he was like, ‘Hey, I remember you from high school.’ And then later on, he asked me out on a date.”

Victoria said that on the date, they instantly connected, and "He felt like a piece of home.” She admitted that “even though we didn't know each other," they "knew a lot of the same people,” and "grew up going to a lot of the same places.”
However, Antonio was also getting out of a relationship, and neither of them was looking for anything serious. The pandemic hit, and Victoria was furloughed; she was expecting to move back home to Georgia, meaning they couldn’t be together anyway.
While she was on a trip visiting home, however, he texted her, indicating that his feelings were a bit stronger than he had initially let on. They got on the phone, and he told her that he didn’t want their relationship “to be a sometimes thing, he wanted it to be an all the time thing,” recalls Victoria. When she returned to D.C., they began a serious relationship.
