After a 17-year-long relationship with his girlfriend Tiffany Roy, The Blind Side fame Micheal Oher finally married her on Saturday in Nashville. “I’m complete,” he said.

Oher and Roy, a businesswoman, met at the university of Mississippi. They have four children—sons Kobi and MJ and daughters Kierstin and Naivi. “Lets keep trending upward,” he captioned a beautiful pic of their marriage on Instagram.

Oher is a former Baltimore Ravens tackle and Super Bowl XLVII champion. Rising to success from a grim childhood and homeless teenage years spent in foster care, his life is the inspiration behind the Oscar-nominated film The Blind Side. Oher's tough path to football glory was depicted in Michael Lewis’ best-selling book.

He was adopted by Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy—owners of multiple fast-food franchises in Tennessee— who became a huge support for his college and professional football careers. After showcasing a stunning career in American football, he retired in 2016.

The Blind Side was released in 2009, and earned $300 million at the box office. The film bagged a Best Picture Oscar nomination and the Academy Award for Best Actress for Sandra Bullock, who played Oher’s adoptive mother, Leigh Anne Tuohy.
