Julie Ertz found out her husband was going to play in the Super Bowl just moments after helping the USWNT win a 5-1 match.

Being married makes it hard for spousal schedules to line up. For the Ertz family, this meant being thousands of miles apart so that they could perform their day jobs — which just so happen to be as professional athletes.

Julie Ertz is a star for the USWNT, and was hard at work in San Diego for a friendly against Denmark. This meant that she couldn’t be kept up to date on what her husband was doing all the way out in Philadelphia, which was trying to make it to Super Bowl 52 with the Philadelphia Eagles.

As soon as the match ended, which the USWNT won 5-1, Julie was informed that a dream of her husbands was coming true. He and the Eagles were heading to Minneapolis to play in the Super Bowl.

The moment was raw and emotional, and absolutely perfect.

Last weekend we all fawned over Vikings fans and their reaction to Stefon Diggs unexpected touchdown catch. This is that moment on such a micro-human level — a couple who support the hell out of each other taking joy in the other’s success. The pure bliss that Julie feels when she hears that Zach’s hard work is about to pay off with a trip to the Super Bowl is absolutely touching.

There are #RelationshipGoals and then there’s the Ertz family. What better way to take one of the best moments of their lives and make it even better.
