Career

Tyna Robertson’s Relationship with Brian Urlacher and Son Kennedy
Tyna Robertson met Brian Urlacher in 2004 when he was still married to his first wife, Laurie Urlacher. They had a brief affair that resulted in Tyna becoming pregnant with Brian’s child. She gave birth to a son, Kennedy Urlacher, in 2005. Brian filed a lawsuit in June 2005 to determine the paternity of Kennedy, and a DNA test confirmed that he was the biological father. Brian and she agreed to share joint custody of their son, but their relationship was not amicable. They often clashed over child support, visitation rights, and other issues.
Brian Urlacher divorced his first wife in 2004 and married his second wife, Jennipher Frost, a former America’s Next Top Model contestant, in 2016. They have two daughters, Pamela and Riley. Tyna also remarried in 2016, to Ryan Karageorge, a lawyer and former college football player.

Ryan Karageorge’s Death and Defamation Lawsuit
Tyna Robertson’s life took a tragic turn on December 29, 2016, when her husband, Ryan Karageorge, died from a gunshot wound to the head at their home in Willow Springs, Illinois. The police ruled his death as a suicide, but Robertson claimed that it was an accident that occurred during an argument. She said that Ryan was holding a gun and threatening to kill himself and that she tried to grab the gun from him, but it went off and shot him in the head.
Brian Urlacher filed an emergency motion in a Cook County courtroom shortly after the incident, claiming that he was concerned about the safety of his son, Kennedy, who was living with Tyna at the time. He said that her home was a dangerous environment for Kennedy and that he wanted to have full custody of him. He also accused her of being an unfit mother and a murderer and said that she was under investigation by the police and the media.
Tyna denied Brian’s allegations and filed a $125 million defamation lawsuit against him in January 2018. She said that Brian and his lawyer, Donald Schiller, conspired with a news reporter, David Haugh, to paint her as a murderer and to influence public opinion and the court’s decision. She said that Brian’s statements were false, malicious, and damaging to her reputation and emotional well-being. She demanded $100 million in punitive damages and $25 million in compensatory damages.
The defamation lawsuit was dismissed by a federal judge in March 2019, who ruled that Brian’s statements were protected by the First Amendment and that Tyna failed to prove that they were made with actual malice. The judge also said that her lawsuit was “essentially a reiteration of false statements, twisting facts and quotes out of context that she has claimed and filed in Court proceedings all during the case. None were found to have merit.”
She appealed the dismissal of her lawsuit, but the appeal was denied by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in July 2020. The court upheld the lower court’s ruling and said that Tyna did not show that Brian’s statements were false or that he acted with reckless disregard for the truth.
