Whitney Risner is featured in episode five of The Enquirer's new special-edition podcast series "Beyond Sunday, presented by Mi Cozumel" that shines a light on six wives or girlfriends of Bengals players.
The podcast is posting every Tuesday morning from May 19 through June 23. Rachel Karras, wife of Bengals center Ted Karras, kicked off the series for episode one, followed by Halle Gesicki (Mike), Jensy Knight (Demetrius) and Gracie McPherson (Evan) in episodes two, three and four.
Whitney, wife of Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Dalton Risner, joined Bengals beat reporter Kelsey Conway in studio to discuss meeting her husband while playing college basketball, starting a jewelry business, dealing with a miscarriage, becoming a social media influencer and more.
Among the conversation topics:
Whitney played college basketball at Fort Hayes State in Hays, Kansas, while Dalton played football at Kansas State in Manhattan, Kansas. Dalton saw her at one of her basketball games and messaged her on social media. The couple didn't talk for a year, then reconnected at the lake in the summer and have been together since.
