Michael Oher Wife and Kids: From being selected in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens and winning Super Bowl XLVII with them to being featured in the Academy Award-winning film The Blind Side, Michael Oher has accomplished it all.
He is a well-known former NFL player who has achieved considerable success and fame. However, despite being a famous personality, he is fairly discreet about his life, particularly his personal life. While his professional life is open to the public, his personal life is not.
Since the world learned about his life story through the book and film The Blind Side, people have been curious to discover more about Oher’s life. Additionally, the controversies surrounding his personal life have made people keener.
Debates around Michael Oher’s Love Life
In July 2017, there arose a scandal that involved the former NFL star and an uber driver. As per the uber driver named Girma Berkessa, Oher asked him to follow a car in which his wife was seated.
The uber driver also mentioned that Oher was drunk and didn’t know what he was doing. Something happened later on and Oher began attacking the driver. Berkessa immediately called 911, filed a report, and even sued Oher to pay him $500,000.
On the other hand, as per Oher, the Uber driver was driving through a longer route so that he could ask for more money from him. The two had a disagreement which resulted in an argument leading to Oher attacking the driver.

In October of that year, the Memphis, Tennessee native stood in a court hearing. However, nothing related to that hearing was made public. Although the heat of the topic slowed down eventually, it did make people think who was Oher’s wife.
The other debate was when there were rumors that a woman going by the name Tabitha Soren was identified as Oher’s wife. But, the speculations proved to be false after doing some digging.
The rumors originated as Soren was married to a man who also goes by the name of Michael. The only difference was that her husband and Oher are completely different people — her husband’s name is Michael Lewis.
On the other note, the one similarity between Soren’s husband and Oher was that Lewis was the man who wrote Oher’s autobiography, The Blind Side, which was later adapted into a movie. Thus, people got confused between the two Michaels.
