It’s easy to forget sometimes that when an NFL player changes teams, it can be difficult on his loved ones. That’s even true if the player receives a monster contract extension.
That was the case with Trent McDuffie, whose girlfriend, Gabby Esposito, will be packing up and moving to a new city. She’ll leave behind the other Chiefs Wives And Girlfriends (WAGs) she’d come to know in Kansas City.
After the Chiefs agreed to trade McDuffie to the Rams, Esposito shared a short TikTok video last week and wrote: “God is good, thank you Kansas City.”
On Monday, Esposito penned a much longer post to her Instagram account and included a number of photos of her fellow WAGs. These women had spent a lot of time together at Arrowhead Stadium watching Chiefs games.
“Ugh. It’s hard to even put this into words because this goodbye is so incredibly bittersweet,” Esposito wrote. “First and foremost, I will forever be in debt to the whole Chiefs organization for trading up for Trent in the draft, bringing him to Kansas City on the lucky chance of meeting the love of my life. There was something truly so special about watching the person I love live out his dreams in the city I call home + that is a feeling I’ll carry with me forever🥹 “The love, the community, and the opportunities I was given here were more than I ever could have imagined. Being able to give back to a community that means so much to me will always be some of the most meaningful memories of my life. “Leaving also means leaving my people, and that is the hardest part in all of this. If you know me, than you know about how much my family means to me. “Mom and dad, somehow you always know the right words to say. You are my voice of reason, my best friends, my favorite hug, and my rock. Just like you told me, ‘home is a place in your heart, not always a physical place’ and you two will always be my home + the wind beneath my wings. “And to my Chiefs girliesss, my heart hurts. the friendships and bonds we’ve built are some of my favorites that I can only hope don’t go away with distance. I’ll miss you all tremendously but will forever cherish all of the laughs, game days, + countless tequila shots. “Kansas City will always be home + will always have a huge piece of my heart. Thank you for the memories, the love, and the way you embraced us every step of the way. I truly had the time of my life❤️ “While it’s incredibly hard to say goodbye, I’m also so excited for this next chapter. We have already been welcomed to LA with the warmest arms + we are so excited to be back in the place that Trent calls home. Cheers to new beginnings and for the first time… go rams💙💛”
That message resonated with her fellow WAGs.

See? It’s tough on the loved ones when an NFL trade takes place.
McDuffie left a comment, too. And it was sweet.
“Couldn’t have asked for a better support system,” he wrote, “I Love you so much 🤍”
