Eagles Legend Desean Jackson Announces 1st Child With GF Who Dated Floyd Mayweather in the Past

4 min read

Even though DeSean Jackson has taken a break from writing NFL history, he seems to be achieving milestones in his personal life. The absolute 175-pound unit broke the hearts of the New York Giants in 2010 with a walk-off punt return that rewrote NFL history. He was the speedster you couldn’t catch, the highlight waiting to happen. Every time he touched the ball, something wild followed. But now, the man who once danced down the sideline in midnight green is stepping into a new kind of spotlight. No pads. No crowd. Two years after his retirement, the Eagles WR is treading into fatherhood and soaking in peace. The Eagles legend is preparing for fatherhood, and his girlfriend’s glow says it all. The next big play? Raising a family.

Recently, the couple has been spotted wearing all white at their personal gathering consisting of friends, family, and loved ones. Instagram stories posted by beau Yahaira Sandoval confirm it was a baby shower. The shower of NFL legend DeSean Jackson and influencer Yahaira Sandoval wasn’t just a celebration—it was a soft, glowing reveal of their next chapter. In a series of recent Instagram stories, the couple radiated joy, smiling in a cozy venue filled with family and love. A calm pathway led guests through arches of blue and white balloons, setting the tone. The minimalist theme had everyone dressed in white, creating an elegant and warm atmosphere.

Blue accents peeked through the details—from Yahaira’s nails to the balloon décor—quietly confirming the big news: it’s a boy. In another video posted on Instagram, the couple shared a candid moment, dancing together as Yahaira filmed the memory herself. The vibe? Pure happiness. Guests, friends, and fans flooded the comments with love, and the celebration felt intimate yet unforgettable.

Earlier, Yahaira had sparked curiosity online. She posted, “Do y’all think I’m having a boy or a girl?” and followed it up with a gender poll for her 232K Instagram followers. On Saturday, May 10th, she honored Mexican Mother’s Day with a heartfelt post: “I still can’t believe that I get to be somebody’s mom. Happy Mexican Mother’s Day to all the amazing mommas.” It captured the emotional beauty of this moment in her life.

Floods of well-wishes poured in. Friends called her the “Prettiest mama,” and the comment section backed it up. But before this new journey with Jackson began, Sandoval made headlines elsewhere. TMZ once reported a romantic connection between her and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. The details are scarce, but it now seems the focus has shifted to Jackson’s family unit. 

After all, 2025 seems to be the year DeSean Jackson hits a milestone in both personal and professional lives. 

DeSean Jackson’s double duty of both coaching and fatherhood

DeSean Jackson is at a turning point. Once a highlight-reel machine in the NFL, now he’s taking on a dual challenge. Fatherhood is calling, and so is the sideline. At Delaware State, Jackson just scored a major win—not on the field, but in the recruiting game. Division III standout James Woods is transferring from Brevard College, and he confirmed the move himself on X. For Woods, it’s a big leap. For Jackson, it’s part of a bigger vision.

To Jackson, this isn’t just a job. It’s personal. “There are roots in my family that come from a Black college,” he said. That connection fuels his mission. He’s not chasing just star ratings or blue-chip recruits. He’s scouring junior colleges, overlooked high schools, and smaller programs for raw, uncut talent. And Woods fits that mold perfectly—driven, hungry, and with something to prove.

Jackson isn’t building a team. He’s crafting a movement. “The opportunity for me to help write another chapter here at DSU is a once-in-a-lifetime moment,” he said. “It’s consistent with my journey as a young boy finding his way to manhood through mentorship, accountability, achievement, and discipline.” That mindset is setting the tone across the Hornets’ locker room. Potential matters more than polish. Vision beats reputation.

But here’s the twist—while he rebuilds a program, he’s also preparing for late-night diaper runs. A new baby is on the way. A new roster is in the works. DeSean Jackson is trying to win both games: the one on the field and the one at home. Can he balance legacy and leadership? That’s the real game plan fans will be watching.
