Personal life
Bozeman proposed to Alabama basketball player Nikki Hegstetter in 2018, after the College Football Playoff championship game against Georgia.[12] They married on March 23, 2019.[citation needed]
During the 2019 NFL season, Bozeman and his wife Nikki lived full-time in an RV they had bought for offseason travel, but soon decided to live full-time in it. In a 2020 ESPN story, Bozeman estimated that the move saved them about $1,800 per month in rent. After the season, they traveled the U.S. in a smaller donated RV, combining anti-bullying presentations to student groups with sightseeing side trips until their venture was cut short due to COVID-19 pandemic. The couple initially planned to live in their larger RV for at least two more years, but found a house they felt they could not pass up, and planned to move into it upon their return from their cross-country trip.[13]
In 2018, Bozeman and Nikki founded the Bradley & Nikki Bozeman Foundation, which focuses on at-risk children and their families to educate them on the dangers of childhood bullying.[14] In 2020, the foundation held a number of food drives in partnership with Mount Pleasant Church and Ministries.[15]
