Here are five things to know about Kirk:

Off the field, family remains at the center of his life. Kirk married his longtime partner, Ozzy, in 2024, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Londyn Rose, in June 2025. Through every stage of his career, that support system has remained a constant.

The passion began early on. Kirk's father, Evan, worked in car detailing and often brought him along, helping develop his eye for detail and appreciation for craftsmanship.

In a recent post Kirk made on @pertrolpursuit, he wrote:

Kirk has also developed a passion for golf in recent years, crediting former teammate Larry Fitzgerald for introducing him to the game.

He's embraced the challenge, once describing golf in aninterview with the Jaguarsas a pursuit of "unattainable perfection" and an outlet that keeps his competitive edge sharp away from football.
