Miron, whose NFL career came to an end in 2011, explained that he wanted to create marital balance, according to HuffPost.

“I’ve found that that’s been really powerful in creating ease and intimacy and trust in my relationship,” Miron said on the show.

Miron said his celebrity status often outshines his wife, adding, “People kind of forget that she exists, so there’s an imbalance in our relationship.”

“One of the ideas that popped into my mind was I can take her last name,” Ricky said. “I think it’s cool. It’s somewhere where we can both win.”

His wife, Linnea Miron, practiced law and co-owns an herbal supplement business with her husband.
