1. How and where Holly Bankemper met her husband

The couple met at the University of Cincinnati College of Law where they were both studying law. Holly graduated in 1988 while Cris graduated in 1991. Cris was rumored to be a serious ladies man in Cincinnati and the local papers even said at that time that girls would be throwing themselves at the limousine before the wedding. The couple fell in love and there was just no stopping them.

2. Cris Collinsworth did not get the first proposal he had planned for her

More than 30 years ago, Collinsworth played as Bengals wide receiver and while getting set for the  1988 MLB All-Star game, he approached Al Michaels who was working in the broadcast booth to help him propose to the woman he loved, Holly Bankemper. Michaels denied the request and that was how Cris did not propose to her the initial manner he planned. Nonetheless, he still gave her a great proposal on a Bridge over the Ohio River.

Cris later thanked Michaels for not giving him the chance to propose as he planned because he later felt if he had done it that way, she would have rejected him or hated it.

3. Holly grew up in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, and also raised her family there

In the beginning of their family life after Cris began to work for Fox Sports, they thought about moving to Los Angeles full-time but later decided against it. They enjoy the life of living in a small, loving, and close-knit community. Moreover, Holly is very happy in Kentucky as her parents and siblings live close by and are always around to help.

4. All of Holly’s children have an established career and are some related to sports

Cris is the popular and the outspoken one in the family and it’s easy to assume he is the only sports inclined person in the family. However, as stated, his kids have also been involved in some ways, just as Holly who was a cheerleader both in high school and college. While Chris was a Florida Gator, Holly was once was a cheerleader for his rival the Kentucky Wildcats.
