Goodell is married to Jane Skinner, a former Fox News anchor and co-host of news-talk program "Happening Now."
Skinner retired from broadcast journalism in 2010, announcing her decision on "Happening Now."
She's mostly been away from the spotlight since then, except for a brief incident in 2017 due to a fake Twitter account. She used a fake account under the alias @forargument to defend her husband from critics.
Skinner's hidden identity didn't last long, as the Wall Street Journal questioned her about the account, which she admitted to running. She said it was done out of frustration and love.
“As a former media member, I’m always bothered when the coverage doesn’t provide a complete and accurate picture of a story," Goodell said in a written statement to the Journal. "I’m also a wife and a mom. I have always passionately defended the hard-working guy I love — and I always will. I just may not use Twitter to do so in the future!”
She and Goodell have been married since 1997 and have two children together.

Roger Goodell has an estimated net worth of $250 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
As for career earnings, Goodell has earned more than double his net worth over the course of his career. He signed a three-year contract extension to remain as the NFL's commissioner through March 2027. He's been the league's commissioner since 2006.
Goodell has reportedly earned about $500 million, according to Front Office Sports, which based its estimate on the NFL's tax filings from 2006-2015 among other reports.
That number is prior to Goodell's latest extension, which is expected to be "the most lucrative deal ever given to any commissioner," per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Given that assessment, Goodell's career earnings could be well upward of $700 million with his current deal.
