Marriage, Husband, and Kids

Allison found the love of her life during college when she met Kirk Herbstreit. Kirk was a star football player, while Allison was part of the cheerleading squad. It was a natural fit for the football star to get with the beautiful cheerleader.

Their wedding took place in 1998. The Herbstreit relocated to Nashville from Ohio in 2011 but now split their time between Nashville and Cincinnati, where their youngest son, Chase, is a quarterback for St. Xavier High School. Jake and Tye, his twin boys, were athletes at Montgomery Bell Academy. Tye is now a member of the Clemson Tigers football team, while Jake is a member of the Ohio State Buckeyes.

The family resides in Nashville, Tennessee. Herbstreit and their family moved from their house in Ohio in 2011 because Ohio State fans accused him of criticizing his alma mater. All the negative talk bothered the family very much.

In 2007, some of the media printed rumors about Kirk’s alleged affair with another woman. Reporters wrote how they had dated the former wife of a police officer, Jerry Dunlow. There was speculation that Allison Herbstreit and Kirk separated after that scandal. But the truth was that Alison had forgiven him. She was a loving wife; she proclaimed that she trusted her husband. She also wanted to protect her children from hearing the negative rumors. At the end of the scandal, the couple proved that they loved each other because they stood firm throughout all the rumors.

When Kirk was asked about how Allison behaved after hearing the comments and rumors about his affair, he said that his wife did not mind getting a lot of attention. Even though it was negative, she said the attention was good for his career because it increased his visibility among the public. Allison proved to be a wise woman and a fantastic diplomat. While the media was trying to slander her husband’s name, she saw it as a great marketing strategy.

Allison never publicly discussed the rumors about her husband’s alleged love affair. She wanted to stay in the background and let her husband handle the issue because she trusted him to say the right things.

Legal Problems

Kirk and Allison allowed their home to burn down in 2004. The house was inspected by an appraiser and valued to be $330,000. The married couple used that amount to claim a charitable deduction in their 2004 Tax Return. After the old debris was moved out, the couple then built a new house on the same land as the old house. The IRS reviewed their case and decided to reject their deduction. They ordered the couple to pay back taxes and interest that had a total value of $134,606. Their case became famous and was debated by accountants with people on both sides of the coin.
