5. Veronika Helped Clean Out Their Old Virginia Townhouse So Sean Could Start Coaching the Rams
Coaching changes require a lot of things to happen behind-the-scenes including the new coach moving cities. McVay was hired by the Rams on January 12, 2017. He was initially planning on going back to their Reston, Virginia home but things did not go as scheduled. Khomyn ended up cleaning out their old Virginia townhouse to allow McVay to hit the ground running in his new head coaching role per Sports Illustrated.
