Super Bowl Two-Fer: Frankfort Native Allegretti's Wife Has Twin Girls

FRANKFORT, IL — Less than 24 hours before Nick Allegretti and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates captured their second NFL championship since 2020, the Frankfort native and former Lincoln-Way East star’s wife made Super Bowl weekend one to remember.

The Chiefs' 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night just proved to be icing on the cake.

Christina Allegretti delivered twin girls at 3:30 a.m. on Sunday in Chicago. The NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero tweeted on Sunday that Nick Allegretti, who won a Super Bowl title with the Chiefs in 2020 and was part of his third Super Bowl team, was able to FaceTime with his wife, who gave birth to the girls back in Chicago with her husband in suburban Phoenix hoping to help deliver another title to Kansas City and Chiefs Kingdom.

Allegretti was joined by his parents, who made the trip to Arizona to see their son while Christina Allegretti and her parents joined in on the video call from Chicago, Pelissero reported.

Allegretti, who now lives in Downers Grove, told the Chicago Sun-Times after Sunday's Chiefs' victory, that he got an early-wake up call in Arizona from his wife, who told him to make sure he didn't go far. Christina's message to her husband: The babies are coming.

“It was the best day of my life at 4 a.m.,” Allegretti told the Sun-Times on Sunday night amid the championship celebration. “Nothing can change that, but this makes it even better."

Despite being in the NFL only a short time, Allegretti has already managed to appear in a pair of Super Bowls before Sunday night's come-from-behind victory, engineered by quarterback Patrick Mahomes' second-half magic and capped by 27-yard Harrison Butker field goal with eight seconds remaining that gave Kansas City another championship.

Allegretti — who played football at Illinois after a successful career at Lincoln-Way East, where he also was a star wrestler — said he appreciates his early run of success with the Chiefs but refuses to take anything for granted.

“I’m just trying to do whatever I can to help the team,” Allegretti told reporters last month. “I’m prepared to play anywhere inside (on the offensive line) that I need to, and helping guys I can in (preparations), but still, playing in the playoffs in the National Football League is incredible.

“I definitely don’t take any of this stuff for granted regardless of my role and I’m happy as heck to be a part of this and to win again.”

Happy may be an understatement this weekend — Super Bowl ring and all.
