It wasn’t announced with a press release or a carefully staged reveal. Instead, it showed up the way a lot of modern relationships do—through a short video, a caption, and a song choice that did most of the talking.
Susie Celek, formerly married to longtime Philadelphia Eagles tight end Brent Celek, confirmed this week that she’s now in a relationship with another familiar name to Eagles fans: former defensive tackle Hollis Thomas.
The reveal came via social media, where Susie posted a montage of the two together—casual outings, close moments, and the kind of snapshots meant to signal something more permanent than a passing connection.
The caption set the tone. “Life trends show I’m not big on commitment, but I’m stuck on you, big man.” Paired with Lionel Richie’s “Stuck on You,” it left little ambiguity about where things stand.
What remains unclear is the timeline. There’s no confirmed overlap or sequence detailing when Susie’s marriage to Brent Celek ended relative to the start of her relationship with Thomas. That gap leaves room for speculation, but no concrete answers.
The connection itself carries an added layer because of the shared Eagles history. Brent Celek spent his entire 11-year NFL career in Philadelphia, becoming a reliable presence at tight end and playing a role in the franchise’s Super Bowl win in the 2017 season. He retired shortly after, finishing with nearly 5,000 receiving yards and 31 touchdowns.
Hollis Thomas represents an earlier chapter of the team’s history. He joined the Eagles in 1996 and remained with the organization until 2005, well before Celek arrived. After leaving Philadelphia, Thomas continued his career with the Saints, Rams, and Panthers before retiring in 2009.
There’s no on-field overlap between the two players, but the shared team identity ties the story together. What started as a personal update has quickly taken on a local angle, with two figures from different eras of the same franchise now linked off the field.
For now, the details remain limited to what was posted—no statements, no extended explanations. Just a video, a caption, and a relationship that, at least publicly, has already moved past the introduction phase.
