A recent incident on Instagram involving Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has caught attention. A screenshot appeared to show Tagovailoa commenting on his own post. The post included photos of him playing for the Falcons during the preseason, captioned “For the A.”
A comment from @tuaman, Tagovailoa’s Instagram handle, stated, “We’re so proud of you!! You got this.” This comment was deleted later. However, Barstool Sports and other outlets captured a screenshot, leading many commenters to tease Tagovailoa. They speculated he forgot to switch to a different account before commenting.
Tua Tagovailoa’s wife, Annah Gore, addressed the situation. She commented on the post, taking responsibility for the comment. She explained she was occupied with their children and mistakenly posted from his account. She clarified, “No burner account! I was busy with the kids this morning and forgot to switch back to my account. He’s busy at work and doesn’t have social media. I post on his behalf! Will pay more attention next time.”
Tagovailoa and Annah Gore married privately in July 2022. They have a son named Ace and a daughter named Maisey. They recently announced expecting a third child on Instagram.
On the field, Tagovailoa has high expectations with his new team. The Falcons have not yet decided whether Tagovailoa or Michael Penix Jr. will start in Week 1. Both players have been showcasing their skills during preseason and training camp.
In a preseason game against the Miami Dolphins, Tagovailoa completed 7 of 8 passes, totaling 95 yards, leading the Falcons to a 17-12 victory. Fans are eagerly awaiting the team’s announcement of the starting quarterback ahead of the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 13. ESPN reports that the decision will involve head coach Kevin Stefanski, president of football Matt Ryan, team owner Arthur Blank, and Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham.
