Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is one of the most well-known players in the NFL, but he keeps his personal life completely out of the spotlight. The two-time MVP has been in a long-term relationship with his girlfriend, Jaime Taylor, for years, but both prefer privacy.
Lamar Jackson Keeps His Relationship With Girlfriend Jaime Taylor Private
Jackson and Taylor met at Boynton Beach Community High School in Florida and began dating while he was at the University of Louisville, according to Sporting News. As Jackson’s career took off, Taylor chose to stay out of the public eye. She doesn’t use social media and rarely appears with him at events. The couple shares a daughter named Milan, but Jackson almost never posts about his family.
In 2019, Taylor spoke briefly during an interview with the Ravens’ media team, offering a rare glimpse into their relationship. “He’s taught me how to handle criticism,” she said. “I used to get mad when I’d read stuff. Then I’d look at him, and he’s just fine. He says, ‘Let them do the talking. You don’t have to say anything. Just show them.’”
Taylor said Jackson’s calm attitude helps her, too. “He never lets outside noise define him. That’s something I’ve learned from him every day.”
A Quiet Relationship in a Loud Football World
Taylor and Jackson avoid public attention. She doesn’t appear at games or on red carpets, and she doesn’t maintain any public social media accounts. The couple prefers to focus on family and football without outside distractions.
Jackson rarely shares personal details online, keeping his posts focused on his career. When asked about his mindset as he prepares to return from a hamstring injury, he said, “Each and every game is going to be like a win-or-go-home game. It’s do-or-die right now, each and every week.”
The pair welcomed their daughter, Milan, on January 4, 2021. Jackson occasionally shares lighthearted photos or videos of her, including one where he called her by her nickname, “Lani.” Outside of those moments, he keeps his home life completely private.
