Jillian Stacey is the wife of Keegan Bradley, the 2011 PGA Championship winner who became the 2025 United States Ryder Cup captain.
While she kept a low public profile for most of their marriage, that role at Bethpage Black put her in front of a national audience for the first time.
She and Bradley have been together since 2012, married since 2016, and are raising two sons, while she has quietly become, in her husband’s own repeated words, the real champion of their family.

Jillian Stacey Biography
She was born on October 29, 1987, in White River Junction, Vermont. Jillian Stacey grew up with an older sister, Meggan, and was raised primarily by their mother, June Stacey, with little public information available about her father. She attended Hartford High School before going on to Eastern Connecticut State University.
She stands 5 feet 7 inches tall. Jillian and Keegan Bradley grew up just 10 to 15 minutes apart in small Vermont towns, shared the same family friends, and even swam on the same swim team as children.
However, the two did not actually connect until years later, after both had moved to Atlanta and were introduced through mutual friends in 2012.
Jillian’s own occupation has remained largely private, and multiple outlets covering her over the years have said that her career is unclear.
Keegan Bradley’s Wife
Jillian Stacey and Bradley began dating in 2012 and were a regular presence together at PGA Tour events and Ryder Cups well before marrying, appearing at the 2012 and 2014 Ryder Cups, multiple Masters Par 3 Contests, and the 2015 World Golf Hall of Fame ceremony.
Jillian even caddied for Keegan at the 2015 Masters Par 3 Contest, an experience she has described as exciting and unforgettable. He proposed in August 2015, announcing it on Instagram with the caption, “Engaged, Life is Good.”
The two married on December 3, 2016, at the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, a 75-room Gilded Age mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.
Guests included fellow PGA Tour pro Luke Donald and his wife, Diane; golfer Camilo Villegas; and Austin Johnson, Dustin Johnson’s brother and caddie.
The reception featured a five-tiered cake and a wedding hashtag, #becomingbradley123, and the couple honeymooned in Rome afterward.
They welcomed their first son, Logan James Bradley, on November 13, 2017, with Keegan posting a photo of his newborn son wearing a New England Patriots outfit on Instagram at the time. Their second son, Cooper, was born in 2019.
Both boys have become fixtures at tournaments alongside their parents, present when Keegan won the BMW Championship in 2018 and again during his Travelers Championship win in 2023, when the boys were handed miniature trophies of their own.
Cooper made headlines in 2025 when he briefly ran onto the course during the BMW Championship looking for a hug from his father, sneaking a look at the leaderboard in the process, then reportedly telling his mother that Rory McIlroy had just made a double bogey.
The family’s relationship has been chronicled across three seasons of Netflix’s Full Swing. In season two, Jillian appeared discussing Keegan’s Travelers Championship win, telling the cameras that winning in front of the New England crowd and both of their families was perfect.
In season three, she spoke about the emotional aftermath of Keegan Bradley being left off the 2023 Ryder Cup team, saying it was really disappointing to see him go through that and that it broke both of their hearts.
She also revealed that Keegan kept his Ryder Cup suitcase packed and never unpacked it afterward, saying the thought of reliving that grief was too much to bear.
