Joe Buck Recalls Wife First Thought He Looked Like a 'Smug A–hole'

He told The Pivot that Rich Eisen helped connect him with Michelle Beisner-Buck after a car commercial shaped a harsh first impression.

Overview

  • Buck shared the story on The Pivot podcast with Ryan Clark, describing how a National Car Rental ad led Michelle Beisner-Buck to view him negatively before they met.
  • He said fellow broadcaster Rich Eisen acted as matchmaker, with Beisner-Buck initially hoping the mystery suitor was anyone but Joe Buck.
  • Their first dinner date took place in St. Louis while she was covering a Rams game, and she insisted on driving separately because she was wary.
  • Buck recalled knowing early in that date he would marry her; they dated for about a year and wed in 2014.
  • The couple welcomed twin sons, Wyatt and Blake, in 2018, and Beisner-Buck later reshared a podcast clip on Instagram where Eisen commented, "Can confirm."
