Kenny Pickett’s wife Amy shared several new pics from the couple’s recent tropical honeymoon at the Ritz-Carlton Dorado Beach Resort in Puerto Rico.
The former Amy Paternoster married the 2021 Heisman Trophy finalist from the University of Pittsburgh at a French chateau on June 24.
Pickett popped the question to Amy in January of 2022, three months before the Steelers drafted him in April.
Amy went viral during the 2022 NFL Draft after she was shown on TV with a very concerned look on her face as Kenny went unselected in the top 10 of the first round.

The couple managed to survive that night and went on to get married at the Pleasantdale Chateau in New Jersey in front of 275 guests, according to People.
Now, with Kenny Pickett in full training camp mode, Amy decided to share photos from their honeymoon on Instagram.
Several of the shots show the couple in their swimwear getting wet by a waterfall or hanging out on a boat.
“Where to next?” Kenny wrote in the comments.
“Gorgeous pictures!” one person wrote, while another commented, “LOVE THESE!!”
Pickett, who suffered two concussions in 2022, is expected to once again be the starter in Pittsburgh in 2023. He passed for 2,404 yards, 7 touchdowns and 9 interceptions with a QB rating of 76.7 in his rookie season that saw him go 7-5 as the starter.
Amy Pickett is also in training camp mode as well as she shared a photo of herself and Kenny decked out in Steelers gear this week.
Kenny and Amy have only been together as a couple since 2021, but knew each other for several years prior having grown up in the same town near the Jersey shore.
“We worked out at the same place growing up because Amy played soccer and I played football,” Kenny told People. “We started training at this place when I was like 12 years old and Amy might have been 10, so I knew her growing up from there.”
Amy played soccer at Princeton University after being named the Gatorade New Jersey Girls Soccer Player of the Year in high school.
At Princeton, she studied economics and finance and graduated with honors.
“I knew when I first started dating Amy that I wanted to marry her,” said the quarterback.
