Breaking: Bears Star Caleb Williams With His girlfriend Alina Thyregod Set To Married….

Caleb Williams and girlfriend Alina Thyregod kept the celebrations rolling Thursday night after the Bears selected the former USC quarterback with the top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

In a post shared on her Instagram Stories, Thyregod — who made her red-carpet debut with the 22-year-old Williams in Detroit — could be seen wearing a Bears cap and smiling beside a gal pal, who rocked the same accessory.

“Go bearssss!!” Thyregod captioned the post, which Williams subsequently re-shared on his own page.

It was an exciting night for Williams, who had long been projected to go No. 1 to the Bears.

The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback arrived at the draft with Thyregod on his arm, with the couple turning heads in their sleek ensembles.

Williams opted for a navy double-breasted suit from Chrome Hearts, while Thyregod stunned in a silver dress from the label.

Leading up to this year’s NFL draft, Williams teased what to expect from the couple on the big day.

“Wait till yall see draft day suit and my ladies dress. 1 of 1s,” he posted on X earlier this month.

It’s unclear how long Williams and Thyregod have been together, but he appeared in a TikTok video on her page back in January.

“It’s going to take a lot of work and a lot of dedication, but, you know, from the glimpses that I’ve been able to hang out with him, I can tell he has that determination the same as I. So, I’m excited to get there, be a part of the team and go strive for something special,” he said.

Odunze’s longtime girlfriend, Alannah Davidson, also celebrated the moment in an Instagram Story, posting, “Go Bears.”

The Bears will select again in Friday’s third round (No. 75) and Saturday’s fourth round (No. 122).

quarterback Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft — but their timeline might not align with the outside perception of the decision.

During his April 25 press conference following the first round, Bears general manager Ryan Poles revealed the team did not make its decision about Williams until after he took his official top 30 visit to the team’s facilities earlier this month. That fact might surprise people who assumed they had made up their minds in mid-March when they decided to trade their former starting quarterback, Justin Fields, to Pittsburgh.

“When you watch the tape, it was easy to see the talent and wanted him on our team, but it was all about going through the process,” Poles said of Williams on Thursday night. “So once we got through the 30 visit and spent time with him and got him with some of the guys on our team, kind of felt good about the person [and] the culture fit, we knew at that point he was going to help us and we were ready to go.”

Bears Took Their Time, But Locked in on Caleb Williams

Poles and his front office confidantes may not have formally settled on Williams as their pick until early April, but their entire “process” for making a quarterback change speaks volumes to how they have felt about the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner along the way.

The Bears confirmed their intentions to draft a rookie quarterback in 2024 before they even got an in-person chance to see Williams work out. While they met with him at the 2024 NFL Combine in early March, he did not participate in drills or undergo medical testing at the event and did not throw until USC’s pro day on March 20 — four days after the team agreed to trade Fields to the Steelers for a 2025 draft selection.

At the time, some thought the Bears’ bold decision-making indicated they felt strongly about several of the quarterbacks in the 2024 class. But then they spent the next month evaluating only one quarterback — Williams — closely while only scouting the others at a relative distance. The Bears had representatives at most quarterbacks’ pro days, but Williams is the only one in the class who received a top 30 invite to visit Halas Hall.

“I didn’t even think that way,” Poles said when asked how many prospects made him feel like it would be worth starting over with a rookie instead of keeping Fields. “It was Caleb, and obviously we watched the other players, but decided on Caleb.”
