There’s a couple things I should point out to you guys that you probably don’t know. First off, Todd Bowles’ wife Taneka Bowles is not the mother of Sydni Paige Russell. Todd was previously married to a lady named Jill Jenkins who is Sydni’s mom. Jill passed away on February 19, 2017. Todd will be leaving the NFL Scouting Combine to attend her funeral. Sydni Bowles is Tyrann Mathieu’s girlfriend, and has a child with him. I remember reading about how cool of a guy Todd was when I was learning about Sydni. So let’s learn a bit about him and Taneka now, shall we? We catalog every relationship in the NFL. That’s just our thing…
Todd Bowles’ wife Taneka Bowles lives with him in Elizabeth, New Jersey. I’ve always liked this area of New Jersey. This is sort of the “nice” territory in the show The Sopranos where Tony and Carmela lived. Anyway, Todd Bowles’ wife came up with this cool charity event last year. Get 4000 elementary schoolers in a room, give them each a backpack with fitness-tracking gear, and have them compete each other to exercise 60 minutes per day. The winners get to go to a Jets game. Hey, I’m in! Sounds like an awesome idea to me. Get some exercise, kids!
The couple met in 2007 and dated for five years before marrying. 2012 was the big year for them. Todd Bowles’ wife Taneka is his main squeeze, and they’ve been together for eight years. Between the two of them and various relationships, they’ve had four kids. Taneka had their first son in 2011. His name is Tyson. The couple has moved around quite a bit, and this meant relocating the little darling Sydni quite a few times as well. New York is now the fourth place they’ve lived since they’ve been together.
