Katherine Webb has gone from a beauty queen to a real estate developer.
The 2012 Miss Alabama USA revealed on Thursday that she has opened her own real estate firm — nearly a year after her former NFL quarterback husband, AJ McCarron, took a $3.94 million pay cut to play for the XFL.
After almost four months of silence on Instagram, the 34-year-old posted snapshots of herself and her partner Josh Burmeister at the site of the new Topgolf facility in Mobile, Alabama, that is slated to open later this year.
'"Kat where ya been?" Over the last year we have been working hard developing our development and real estate firm Bur:McCarron, and I’ve been working to get my commercial/resi license...and I’m happy to announce we have done both!' she wrote.

'[Topgolf] is officially here in Mobile, AL and [Josh Burmeister] and our investors were able to get it done. We have a ton in our pipeline and I’m so excited for this new chapter.'
Webb is proudly posing in a white short-sleeve shirt, a denim wrap skort, and platform sneakers in the pictures.
Her highlighted brown hair is pulled half up, and she topped off her construction site look with a pair of cat-eye sunglasses.
The model was launched to fame after sportscaster Brent Musburger fawned over her beauty at the 2013 BCS National Championship Game as her now-husband led the Alabama Crimson Tide to victory against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
McCarron was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fifth round of the 2014 NFL Draft — the same year he married Webb.
He was a backup quarterback for a total of eight seasons in the NFL, playing for the Bengals, Oakland Raiders, Houston Texans, and most recently, the Atlanta Falcons.
In 2021, he tore his ACL in a preseason game after signing a one-year contract with the Falcons for $4 million.
After sitting out for two seasons, he joined the XFL because he wanted his children to be able to watch him play football.

Webb's announcement comes nearly a year after her former NFL quarterback husband, AJ McCarron, took a $3.94 million pay cut to play for the XFL
McCarron, who now makes an estimated $60,000 a season, explained that he joined the minor league because he wanted his sons to watch him play football instead of sitting on the bench

McCarron and Web have three sons together, Gunnar Cruz, two, Cash Carter, four, and Raymond Anthony McCarron III, seven, whom they call Tripp.
The former college football star took a 98 percent pay cut to play for the minor league partially owned by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. The St. Louis BattleHawks star makes roughly $60,000 per season, according to ESPN.
'My six-year-old loves watching tape of me on YouTube. That's a big reason I chose to return this way,' he told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
'I probably could've tried to come back with an NFL team and had a chance to probably [make] bigger money, but no one knows what the future holds. I'm enjoying this, and it's a great way to create some memories for me and my boys.'
McCarron became a breakout star in the XFL and earned praise from The Rock for taking a pay cut to get back on the field.
'Takes less money signing with us over the @NFL because he wanted his little boys to see him play,' Johnson tweeted in February. 'Now he’s 2-0 and led his team to back to back exciting last minute wins. I’d say he’s creating some memories for his boys. AJ’s decision means a helluva lot to me, personally.'
McCarron is also an investor in his wife's new real estate development company, according to Business Alabama.
And if Webb's latest post is any indication, she is excited about their next chapter.
