While Kiya has often been seen supporting her husband during his games, she shared in an October 2025 interview that football wasn't always her cup of tea.
""I did not know anything about football, didn't watch football. But I couldn't tell you what was happening on the field," she said, as per People. Kiya grew up in New Jersey and graduated from Morristown High School in 1992, as per Daily Record.
She is an entrepreneur and has her own fashion line. In 2021, her business expanded to include licensed NFL apparel. Following Tomlin's departure as Steelers' HC, Kiya shared a career update as well. “The Coach T Collection was my way of sharing that mentorship with the world– capturing some of the lessons, discipline and mindset that shaped so many lives. I don’t yet know what our next chapter looks like. What I do know is that I am grateful for the journey the Coach T Collection represented,” she said, as per Steelers Now.
The couple have three children – sons Mayce and Dino and daughter Harley. Dino and Harley appear to have followed their parents in terms of athletics. Harley is on the gymnastics team at the University of Georgia according to her Instagram profile. Dino, meanwhile, played football for Boston College, his Instagram says. Mayce graduated from Columbia University in May 2024 and makes music, as per her Instagram bio.
