Pete Dadds/ FOX He continued, “I love football and always will. It will continue to be a part of my life. I’m looking forward to spending more time with my wife and kids. I want to give a special thank you to my family, friends, and fans for all your support on this incredible journey. I look forward to the future and the many adventures ahead!” Eric later told USA Today that he accepted the Patriots’ contract because he could “not say no to that opportunity,” but after training camp, he knew he was done. “You know when you know,” he admitted. “Ultimately, I was kind of checked out. … I was kind of emotionally and mentally checked out of football at that point.” Jesse later told People that she was surprised by her husband’s decision to retire so soon, but revealed that it was something they’d talked about. “He had definitely voiced to me that he had just been feeling a certain way and I just respected it,” she shared. What is Eric Decker’s job now? In addition to being a family man (more on that below), Eric is the co-owner and president of his wife’s clothing brand, Kittenish. She created the brand in 2014, but Eric became involved in the business aspect of things in 2019, after his football retirement, according to LinkedIn. Kittenish began as an online brand and collaboration. Eric and Jessie took over as full owners in 2019 and have opened a brick-and-mortar store in Nashville. Eric is also a major advocate for mental health and is a board member for Fund Recovery, an organization that aims to “break the cycle of mental health issues by addressing the funding gap of a person who is struggling and their recovery.” The company “provides financial assistance and scholarships for addiction and mental health services for individuals seeking change,” per its website. How many kids do Eric and Jessie James Decker have? With Jessie running her company and other business ventures, in addition to being a singer, Eric is often holding down the fort at home, as well. The couple, who met through mutual friends in 2011 and married in 2013, have four children.
