Wife asked her husband about watching the Super Bowl in person — his brutally honest answer revealed where she ranks
A reflexive reply can accidentally spill what someone truly prioritizes. A casual exchange between husband and wife ended up exposing their genuine feelings and what really matters in their marriage. The video that captured the moment was shared on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, by Aubrey Wood on Instagram under the handle @aubreygavellowood. It featured her husband, Alex, during a long-awaited experience together at the Super Bowl. When Aubrey asked her husband how he felt watching the game in the stadium, his answer revealed where she ranks in his life.
In the video, Aubrey pointed the camera at Alex as they stood inside the Super Bowl stadium and asked how he was feeling. Without pause, he turned to her with a wide smile and said, “This is the best day of my life,” his voice earnest and full of excitement, before he looked back toward the field. The clip then moved to a series of photos showing the beautiful life they had shared over the years. Onscreen text read “his life” as images appeared of Alex proposing and of their wedding day. Many of the photos showed happy moments the couple had built together, reminding viewers of the life they had shared before this big game.
The Instagram post quickly resonated with many people because of how it blended humor with heartfelt honesty, garnering more than 3.9 million views in less than a day. Aubrey playfully wrote in the caption, “Thanks for making him so happy?” and tagged NFL player Sam Darnold’s Instagram. Alex also joined the conversation in the comments, gently reminding her, “And you were there for all the best moments.” The exchange between them showed that his excitement for the Super Bowl didn’t outweigh the joy he felt from their shared life.
Many internet users also left comments saying they understood her husband’s perspective. @benjhaisch penned, "Some people dream about getting married when they’re a kid. Some kids dream of their favorite sports team winning the championship. Totally get it." @the.chelseagriffin remarked, "Sorry to my husband because I said the same thing." Another user mentioned she is a mom of three and a Clemson fan, and while she says her favorite days were her wedding and her children’s births, her honest answer was the day Clemson beat Alabama in January 2017.
While sports are often seen as very important to men, nothing compares to being there for their partner, especially during labor. Former NFL player and reporter Robert Griffin III demonstrated this during a live college football broadcast when he received a call from his wife, Grete Griffin. He was on air analyzing a playoff game when he answered the phone and realized she was in labor. Without hesitation, he told his co-hosts, “I got to go, man,” and left the set. Grete later shared in a social media post that she didn't expect an immediate action but said, “When your wife is 9 months pregnant and calls you, you answer.” His choice made his priorities clear.
