Where a major part of the world is struggling with love and money, NBC sportscaster Charissa Thompson, 35, chose her profession over everything else. She is a truly passionate and dedicated sports reporter who failed at her first marriage and other love relationship due to her dedication to her work.
Thompson’s professional life is known by many, but today we will make you aware of her personal life.
Despite the fact that Thompson doesn’t really talk about her personal life, she revealed in an interview that she was married in the past but failed at it. Thompson admitted that she was 25 years old when she took such a huge decision in her life in haste.
Thompson was all set to break up with her boyfriend, but instead, she drove to Hollywood, got a finger tattoo, and got hitched on Saturday. She also revealed that she decided to get married as she felt like she always ran away from relationships.

Sadly, things didn’t go as it was planned to. Thompson generally ended up in a fight with her former husband because of her busy work schedule and she was rarely home. Thompson gives the credit of her failed relationship to her profession.
Even though Thompson described why her marriage didn’t work, she didn’t reveal the name of the person she was married to.
After her divorce, Thompson dated former basketball player Jay Williams while she was working for ESPN in 2011. However, her relationship with the basketball star didn’t last long.

At present, Thompson isn’t seeing anyone and she seems to be busy with her work. That’s why we can say that 35-years-old Thompson’s relationship status is single.

The reason behind her failed relationship is that she couldn’t allocate a relationship with her boyfriend.
Thompson inspires all teenagers and says:
Do it because you love it, and realize you’ll have to make sacrifices along the way. But if you really want to, it’s the most rewarding, awesome job you could ever have.
