Robert Griffin III’s wife posts about ‘peace and happiness’ following his ESPN firing

Robert Griffin III’s wife, Grete, is focused on positivity after his ESPN firing.

“The category is: Peace & Happiness🖤,” she captioned a Monday post on Instagram, which included photos of the couple smiling while at the 2024 Harold & Carole Pump Foundation gala in Beverly Hills on Aug 16.

Her post came before ESPN added Louis Riddick to its college football coverage on Tuesday, replacing Griffin.

Griffin, who was a college football and NFL analyst across a number of shows, was let go Thursday by ESPN, reportedly for budgetary reasons, along with “Sunday NFL Countdown” host Sam Ponder .

The next day, the Heisman-winning quarterback and Grete, who is a former track & field athlete, attended the gala at the Beverly Hilton, where they appeared in good spirits.

Grete, who posted a few snapshots of herself, looked beautiful in a black dress, which included a plunging halter neckline.

“Holy Moly look at those eyes 😍,” Griffin wrote in the comments, referring to his wife’s blue eyes.
