Miami Dolphins punter Jake Bailey recently tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, and her new full name is rather amusing.
As first reported by Ashlyn Robinette and Emily Strohm of People two months ago, Jake Bailey got married on March 8 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to his longtime partner, Bailey Medeiros.
Yes, that means Jake Bailey’s wife’s full name is now Bailey Bailey, assuming she took her husband’s surname. No word at this time if she has actually done so.
Mrs. Bailey’s middle name is Nicole, so she could always go by “Nicole Bailey” if the double Bailey is too much.

Bottom line: A late congratulations to Bailey and Jake on their marriage, and we wish them the happiest life together!
In the sports world, we can’t think of anyone with the same first and last name. There are some “close” calls, though, such as veteran NFL safety John Johnson III, former MLB pitcher John Johnstone and former MIami Dolphins head coach Cam Cameron (though his first name is Malcolm).
The New England Patriots drafted Jake Bailey in the fifth round (163rd overall) in 2019. The Stanford product earned Pro Bowl and First-team All-Pro honors in 2020 after averaging 48.7 yards per punt.
The Dolphins picked up Bailey after his departure from the Patriots in 2023. He averaged 45.7 yards per punt attempt in his first year, but improved that number to 47.1 in the 2024 season.
Bailey and the Dolphins will kick off their 2025 season with a road tilt against the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 7.
