Zach Ertz and his wife, the former Julie Johnston, a Team USA soccer star, were featured in ESPN The Magazine’s Body Issue this year, posing together and separately. In the accompanying interview they discussed their admiration for each other’s, ah, glutes.
“My wife really wanted to do it. I did not necessarily want to do it,” Ertz, an Eagles tight end, said this week.
Ertz said the photo shoot occurred back in February, in San Diego. He said they saw all the photos and approved them before publication.
Ertz said his wife has been a fan of ESPN’s artsy poses of naked athletes ever since the debut of the concept.
