Los Angeles Rams Player Cooper Kupp’s Wife Anna Marie Reacts to Trade News: ‘So Unbearably Hard’

Cooper Kupp’s wife is reflecting on her family’s experience with the Los Angeles Rams as her husband prepares to leave the franchise for another NFL team.

“God, it has been such an unbelievable chapter in our life that I am so grateful for,” Anna Marie Kupp wrote via Instagram on Monday, February 3. “Sobbing thinking that it has to end. I truly am so humbled to have been able to spend the last 9 years in this beautiful place we made our home.”

Earlier in the week, Cooper, 31, announced in a statement via the NFL that the Rams “will be seeking a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships.”

The wide receiver said he didn’t “agree with the decision” and was hoping Los Angeles could be the city where he started and ended his NFL career. He reminded himself, however, that some things are out of his control.

As Cooper waits to find out where he’ll land next, Anna Marie said she is feeling “anxious and excited” about the family’s next chapter.

In her latest social media post, the cofounder of Dodo Coffee Company shared memories of being intimidated by Los Angeles when the self-proclaimed “small town girl” first moved to the big city.

Over time, however, Cooper and Anna Marie would make Los Angeles feel like home as they raised their kids, including Cooper, 6, Cypress, 4, and 19-month-old Solas.

“I’m so thankful to have had Cooper by my side, we have grown to love this big beautiful city, to love the people, the food, the mountains, the beaches,” she wrote. “We had our babies here, met our best friends here, grew up together here.”

Anna Marie added, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who have made it so unbearably hard to say goodbye. I love you LA. ❤️‍🩹”

Cooper was first selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the third round of the 2017 NFL draft. Since then, the Eastern Washington University alum has had the chance to win a Super Bowl championship and was named Most Valuable Player.

“Thank you to each of you for your unconditional love for me and for giving yourselves to make this whole thing work,” Cooper wrote via Instagram on January 23 after the Rams season came to an end. “@annamariekupp, you are my rock! I am so blessed to share in a love that I am so excited to return home to every single day.”
