Steve Smith Sr. is a prominent name in the sports world. Before becoming a sportscaster, the now-retired NFL wide receiver played for the Carolina Panthers and the Baltimore Ravens from 2001 to 2013 and 2014 to 2016, respectively. In 2017, the Los Angeles native stepped down from professional football and joined the NFL network as a sports analyst and host. Through it all, Steve has had the support from his wife, Angie Smith.
Since the start of his NFL career, Angie has been by Steve’s side, but he’s kept most of the details of their marriage away from the public eye. However, unverified infidelity accusations emerged against Steve in February 2025, and, naturally, sports viewers and fans wanted answers.
