As we know, he still hasn’t stuck with the team because he probably got a better contract elsewhere, but we can’t deny how his former team acted as a catalyst in helping him meet with the love of his life. Now that is a story you might want to get into.
However, let’s start with a more basic approach and learn who Mrs. Folk is and what does she do for a living. Curious? Why don’t you dive right in?

Back in the day, Julianne was also the occasional emcee for the NBA during some of its tours and events. Apart from her interest in football and basketball, Julianne loved bragging about her soccer skills. This is exactly how her relationship with Nick ultimately came to be.

On the evening before Valentine’s Day in 2009, Nick and Julianne lucked out and met in Texas. When they got to talking, the lady had no clue she was talking to the placekicker of the Dallas Cowboys. Julianne couldn’t help but brag about her soccer skills.
