The two pictures Holly shared of her and Dan are from different eras of their lives that highlight their 26 years of companionship. The first photo saw the couple sharing a kiss at Ford Field, while the second image saw the duo’s much younger avatars.
In the retro photo, a jacked Dan Campbell is seen with a cigarette in his mouth, standing next to Holly in a beachwear. Hilariously enough, Holly noted through her caption that in the early days of her relationship, many believed that the couple wouldn’t be each other’s endgame.

Dan and Holly are truly couple goals. The duo got married in 1999, the year when Campbell made his NFL debut. Since then, the two have been inseparable. Being an athlete often results in family life getting compromised, but Holly ensured that she traveled everywhere in the country as Dan switched teams.
Based on Holly’s Instagram stories, one can be sure that the Campbells are a tight-knit unit. Be it a morning Starbucks visit or vacation, Dan has always made time for her and their family.
