Catherine Mooty is an American entrepreneur, fashion retailer, and businesswoman best known as one of the founders of the luxury fashion collective Luxeliner.
She became widely known through her marriage to Troy Aikman, the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback and longtime FOX Sports broadcaster.
While her relationship with Aikman attracted national attention, Mooty established her professional reputation long before entering the public spotlight.
Through Luxeliner, she helped build a successful luxury shopping business that has become well known across Texas and other parts of the United States.
She has largely avoided celebrity culture despite being connected to one of American football’s biggest names, choosing instead to focus on business, family, and private life.

Catherine Mooty Biography
She was born on October 13, 1970, in Dallas, Texas, United States. Catherine Mooty has spent most of her life in Texas and has maintained close ties to the Dallas business community, where she eventually built her fashion career.
She has rarely discussed her childhood or family in interviews. As a result, little verified information has been released about her parents or early upbringing.
Her decision to remain private has continued throughout her career, with most public attention centred on her business ventures and family life rather than her personal background.
Troy Aikman
Before marrying Troy Aikman, Catherine Mooty was married to Jerry Mooty. Jerry Mooty is a businessman from Texas and a member of the family behind the Dallas Cowboys ownership structure through the Jones family.
Their marriage produced two sons before eventually ending in divorce.
Despite the separation, both parents have continued raising their children privately away from public attention.
Catherine and Troy Aikman began dating in the mid 2010s after being introduced through mutual friends.
Their relationship remained largely private before Aikman announced their engagement during a holiday in Lake Como, Italy, in June 2017.
The couple married on September 4, 2017, in a private ceremony in Santa Barbara, California, attended by close family and friends.
Their marriage brought together two families. Mooty’s two sons from her previous marriage joined Aikman’s two daughters from his previous marriage to former publicist Rhonda Worthey.
For several years, they regularly appeared together at charity functions, sporting events and family occasions.
In 2023, Troy Aikman confirmed that the couple had divorced. The announcement was made respectfully and without public dispute, with both continuing to keep details of their personal lives private.
Children
Catherine Mooty is the mother of two sons, Luke Mooty and Val Mooty, from her first marriage to Jerry Mooty. She has consistently protected their privacy, and very little personal information about either son has been made public.
Following her marriage to Troy Aikman, the family became a blended household. Alongside her own sons, Mooty also became stepmother to Troy Aikman’s daughters:
- Jordan Ashley Aikman
- Alexa Marie Aikman
The family generally avoided extensive media exposure, preferring to keep their children away from celebrity attention.
