Shannon Sharpe’s kids and rumoured ex-wife Katy Kellner explored after the news was confirmed he is joining Stephen A. Smith on First Take.

Shannon Sharpe is one of the biggest personalities in NFL history. Not only was he a larger than life character, he also had the skills to back it up, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest tight ends of all time.

Sharpe spent fourteen seasons with the Denver Broncos, and won three Super Bowls in four seasons across time with the Broncos and Ravens.

He is joining Stephen A. Smith on ESPN’s First Take

Upon retiring, Sharpe transitioned into the world of sports media where he has become a fan favourite. Since 2016 he co-hosted FS1’s Undisputed alongside Skip Bayless.

However, that’s all ended as Sharpe reached a contract buyout agreement with Fox Sports to end his seven-year run on the show.

Now, it has been confirmed that Sharpe is joining ESPN, and specifically, First Take, along with Stephen A. Smith. Smith recently said.

“It’s all about not standing still and taking it to another level. And (it’s) official this morning, Mr Shannon Sharpe will be joining the crew. He will be joining First Take, it is official,’ Smith said on air.

‘He will debut Monday, September 4, he will be on here every Monday and Tuesday with yours truly.’

Does Shannon Sharpe have a wife? Exploring the rumors

According to various online rumors, Shannon Sharpe’s ex-wife is Katy Kellner. However, Sharpe keeps his personal life extremely private and there are no credible reports confirming whether the pair were actually married, with some outlets claiming they were simply just engaged at one point.

These rumors claims that Katy Kellner is an American fitness enthusiast who was born in the United States in 1981. She allegedly began her career as a Fulton County public school teacher after finishing her education, and first met Shannon in a gym.

There are various photos of Shannon and Katy Kellner together at various events and parties in 2012. However, it’s clear that any alleged relationship broke down shortly after as they are no longer together.

Katy reportedly got into a relationship with a man named Marlon Byrd, while Shannon remains single in 2023.

Shannon Sharpe’s three kids

Shannon Sharpe has three kids: two girls named Kayla and Kaley who are in their 30s, and a boy named Kiari. He welcomed his first born child on 16 October 1992.

Kiari allegedly studied biology and business management studies at Georgia Southern, while Kayla studied pre-law at Georgia. Kaley attended Florida State.

All three children are reportedly from different relationships and lived in Georgia and Florida with their mothers.

Nevertheless, Shannon and his kids have a close relationship and he’s clearly very proud of them.

He has shared several photos with eldest Kayla, including one where he wrote: ‘My oldest daughter (Kayla) surprised her dad with a visit and lunch for Father’s Day. Don’t normally post my kids, but I’m extremely happy of her and the woman she’s becoming.’
