Who is Roger Goodell's wife?

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.
