"When my husband, Hunter Henry, signed with the New England Patriots in 2021, I was skeptical about moving to Boston. Yet after we arrived, I was surprised that Massachusetts reminded me of Arkansas, where Hunter and I grew up. The weather is similar, and the people in both places are so loyal. We bought a house in Massachusetts, near the stadium, and both our children were born here."
"Because of that, Massachusetts feels so much like home. We have a great community, both within the team and outside it. We've always returned to Arkansas, where we own another house, in the offseason. Now that my son is in preschool, that's getting harder. We don't want to take him away from the school that he loves. I'm also pregnant, due in March, and we're planning to stay in New England year-round for the first time."
"Where we call home could change if Hunter were traded. That's one of those things you try not to think about, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't on my mind. We've been very, very fortunate to be in New England for five years. I remind myself that worrying won't change anything. It's the reality of the NFL that you can be uprooted at any time. Ultimately, whether it's Massachusetts, Arkansas, or somewhere else, I know home is where your people are."
Parker Henry is married to New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry; they met while she was studying nursing and married the year she graduated. They have two children and a third on the way. They moved to Massachusetts after Hunter signed with the Patriots in 2021, bought a house near the stadium, and both existing children were born in Massachusetts. They have maintained an offseason home in Arkansas but plan to stay in New England year-round because their son attends preschool and Parker is pregnant and due in March. Parker acknowledges the possibility of future relocation if Hunter is traded and accepts the NFL’s instability.
