Chiefs New Defensive Tackle Joins Kansas City After Girlfriend Marries Eagles TE — Vows To Crush Philadelphia



Kansas City, MO 

The Kansas City Chiefs made one of their boldest offseason moves by adding a premier defensive tackle in free agency. The move is big, but the personal story behind it is what’s capturing the spotlight in Kansas City.

After losing a veteran interior lineman in free agency, the Chiefs needed a proven starter to stabilize the defensive front. They found one in a physical run-plugger whose motivation extends far beyond statistics or depth chart placement.

For this new arrival, joining Kansas City means revenge as much as opportunity. His personal heartbreak, a public betrayal that hit harder than any Sunday collision, now fuels his mission in the AFC.

That man is Marlon Tuipulotu, who arrives after swift mutual interest between player and team. Tuipulotu’s ex-girlfriend is now married to Eagles tight end Kylen Granson — making every Philadelphia matchup personal.

“I know better than anyone what it feels like to be betrayed. And I also know the Chiefs want nothing more than to crush the Eagles. That’s why I’m here — to turn my pain into fuel and show who’s truly stronger,” Tuipulotu declared.

On the field, Tuipulotu brings dependability. He stacks and sheds with power, compresses the pocket on passing downs, and anchors against double teams to free up the Chiefs’ edge rushers. He’s not an All-Pro wrecking ball, but he’s a battle-tested, reliable interior starter.

Kansas City’s coaches see him as an ideal fit for Steve Spagnuolo’s scheme, blending gap integrity with timely interior pressure. His presence should give the Chiefs a nastier identity up front as they chase another Lombardi.

For Chiefs fans, the story resonates deeply. A defensive tackle scorned in love, determined to channel heartbreak into rivalry dominance, and now set to make an impact — Tuipulotu’s arrival embodies Kansas City’s hunger for redemption and revenge.

Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Puni, whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller's , grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dominick that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Dominick lives and plays today.” Puni, a rookie out of Kansas, has steadily earned the 49ers’ trust along the offensive line, praised for his physicality in the run game and poise in protection. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years.” The 49ers have privately offered support and time for Puni and his family, ensuring he can process the loss away from team obligations.
