Ricky Williams Takes His Wife’s Last Name To Create Relationship Balance

Former NFL player Ricky Williams has done what some men wouldn’t even think twice about doing, taking the last name of his wife.

According to Huff Post, Ricky wanted to create marital balance. He now goes by Errick Miron, taking the surname of his spouse, Linnea Miron, and reverting to his birth name Errick.

He said he made the big change about a year ago. “I’ve found that that’s been really powerful in creating ease and intimacy and trust in my relationship,” Miron said on “The Dan Le Batard Show With Stugotz.”

He said his fame took away the attention on his wife and in their inner social circles.
“People kind of forget that she exists, so there’s an imbalance in our relationship,” he said.

“One of the ideas that popped into my mind was I can take her last name,” Miron said. “I think it’s cool. It’s somewhere where we can both win.

Ricky is a former football running back who played 11 seasons in the National Football League (NFL) and one season in the Canadian Football League (CFL).

Williams was drafted by the New Orleans Saints fifth overall in the 1999 NFL Draft after a blockbuster trade and spent three seasons with the team before he was traded to the Miami Dolphins in 2002.
