Adams and Villarreal met at Fresno State University, California, where they were both students. Adams also played in the Fresno State Bulldogs football team from 2011 to 2013. 

He proposed to Devanne in 2017 in the Bahamas. It was a prank to start with as Adams had told Devanne that they are going for a photo shoot. “Thought we were just doing a casual photo shoot … little did I know he had a bigger plan,” she wrote in an Instagram post and added, “Davante thought out the most perfect, creative, heartfelt, breathtaking proposal.”

Adams has been playing professional American football since 2014 and is considered among the stars of NFL. As of October 2022, his net worth is estimated to be about $25 million.
