Mike Zimmer is currently dating 40 years old model Katarina Miketin, who may become his new wife. Know about the couple in the article below.
The couple was rumored to be dating in 2020, but they publicly revealed their relationship status only after one year of dating.
Zimmer’s personal life is going good but not his professional life. Minnesota Vikings have just released Zimmer from his role as head coach.
He was Vikings coach since 2014 and was fired after his team failed to make a postseason appearance for the last two seasons.
For the past 8 years, it’s been pretty awesome (and admittedly a little weird) having a guy with the same name as the coach of my favorite football team. But alas, it’s over.
I want to assure all my friends that I’m OK. Thanks for all the well wishes ??#skol
