Archie Miller's Father-In-Law Knew He Was The One For His Daughter
“See, I told you so.”
Was Miller's father-in-law's response when he was set up on a blind date with his now-partner. In an article published in Heavy on March 26, 2014, his partner revealed how her father instantly recognized Miller as the right one for her.
Her father had a chance to meet Archie when he was playing basketball and later told her,
“I think I met the guy you’re gonna date next year.”
From that day to now, the pair have been inseparable.
Who Is His Partner?
Archie's wonderful partner for life is his wife, Morgan Miller. Morgan and Archie Miller got married back in 2003, and since then, the pair have only grown stronger. They are about to complete two decades together on August 30, 2023.
The couple has a daughter together whom they are very fond of. Their daughter, Leah Grace, was born in 2004.
Hard to explain how far we have gone together!
Wrote the father while posting pictures with his beautiful wife on their 12th anniversary.
The picture featured Morgan leaning into her spouse and giving a wide smile while Archie simply put on a blissful smile.
The picture of the two was posted in late August 2015, and since then, Miller has not posted anything regarding his wife or his daughter.
Archie has kept the details of his life quite concealed as he has not posted anything after May 13, 2017.
Going by the former basketball player's past posts, his daughter seems to be athletic in nature, and he usually used to post pictures of his daughter training in the gym.
Although Miller has successfully kept his personal life away from the tabloids, his notable accomplishments are a treat to look back into.
