Allison Kuch is feeling reflective amid her husband Isaac Rochell's retirement from the NFL.

In a video shared on Instagram Reels and TikTok on March 13, the 30-year-old Sunday Sports Clubhost shared a bittersweet video recalling how she always dreamt of bringing their daughter Scottie Bee to one of her husband's games before he retired from the NFL on Feb. 2.

The video included various clips of Kuch supporting Rochell, 29, from her pregnancy through his NFL career as a defensive end and his post-retirement career.

"Unfortunately, [Isaac's] time in the NFL came to an end just 2 weeks before my due date," Kuch wrote in the overlay text of the video. "It made me sad that she wasn't included in this chapter."

The video then transitioned to "today," as Kuch captured Scottie Bee, 1, waving at Rochell on the TV as a correspondent, writing, "I got a glimpse of our next chapter."

As Scottie Bee happily pointed out her "Dada" on the TV, Kuch noted that in the end, she still got to see her daughter cheer on Rochell, albeit in a different capacity, adding this was "a chapter where we're still cheering on Dada."

Rochell first announced his retirement from the NFL on an episode of Sunday Sports Club, sharing at the time that he was"super happy to be done" and felt "really accomplished when it comes to football."

"There's been so many ups, so many downs, and our life has truly revolved around the sport of football," Kuch reflected in the episode. "And just when I look back, I'm so proud and I'm so thankful for all the memories that the NFL gave us."

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE on Feb. 7, Rochell said he planned to dive into content creation to help "create more of a voice for myself." He added that it "made sense" for him to retire now and looked forward to spending more time with their daughter while Kuch joked about finally "getting my husband back" after his seven-year-long career.

"I think for both of us, it's nice to [know] we're gonna be in one spot indefinitely," he said at the time. "I just generally had a really good career and I'm super proud of it. I'm excited to be on the other side."
