Kuch spoke about her family’s Thanksgiving plans on a recent episode of theSunday Sports Clubpodcast and said that this year would be their first “normal” one together.

She also looked back at her first Thanksgiving with Rochell, when he was with theLos Angeles Chargersas a traveling practice squad member, which she noted “essentially means you could be pulled up at any point.”

“I actually went out to California instead of spending [Thanksgiving] with my family. [But] he ended up going to Dallas because they were playing theDallas Cowboys,” Kuch recalled, adding that she surprised Rochell with a holiday spread once he got back from the game after midnight.

“I pulled everything out into the counter and lit candles and set the scene. [I] opened up the door and he was so shocked, surprised, and excited because he was hungry,” Kuch said.

“Isaac has never in his entire NFL career had a full day off of a holiday,” she said. “NFL players always have something on the holiday, whether that’d be a football game, they’re traveling, or they have practice.”

But now that Rochell is a free agent, the couple was able to make plans and spend Thanksgiving together.

“I wanna create the household that has so many traditions and fun things that they do [since] I grew up in a family that kind of had traditions,” Kuch said on her podcast. “I’m looking into all the holiday traditions that I wanna start implementing so she has a fun childhood and I’m also living vicariously through my daughter.”

“It’s been difficult navigating this new phase of life, but we’re trying to stay optimistic and ready for whatever comes next. For us, it’s about making the most of this time,” Rochell said.

He added: “If someone told me, ‘Hey, you might not get signed, but the worst-case scenario is that you get to spend a lot of time with your daughter,’ I’d say ‘Okay.’ "
