The Kansas City Chiefs fans got a huge respite before the much-anticipated Super Bowl LVIII clash against the San Francisco 49ers. After missing the AFC Championship game against Baltimore due to a neck injury, linebacker Willie Gay Jr is now fit to play for the Chiefs in Vegas. Gay Jr. is arguably a household name in Kansas City, thanks to his illustrious stint with the Chiefs since 2020. Nonetheless, quite a lot of fans are yet to discover more about the 25-year-old’s relationship status and dating history.
Willie Gay Jr. has always been cautious about keeping his personal life private. He has not given a hint of any courtship on social media, despite him being an active presence. Even so, we have you covered with the 2023 Super Bowl champion’s relationship status.
Willie Gay Jr: enjoying the bachelor life
According to various sources, Willie Gay Jr. is single as of now. However, this was not the case until a few years back. He has dated a woman and shares a son named Jahsiah with the woman. The identity of the woman remains behind the curtains after the relationship ended on a controversial note in January 2022. As it happened, Gay Jr. took off to the woman’s place to meet his son, only to pick up a fierce argument with his ex-girlfriend.
The argument aggravated further, and the pro footballer damaged her property and things around the house that were worth $1,000. He was arrested subsequently and faced one count of criminal damage. After getting bail, Gay Jr was ordered to not visit his ex-girlfriend any further.
She also requested to have custody of their son, allowing Willie Gay Jr. to meet with the child on select occasions in a public area. This is the only available account of the pro baller having a relationship with someone. Unlike his courtship, Willie Gay Jr.’s relationship with his son Jahsiah has panned out for the best.
Willie’s wholesome equation with his 2-year-old son
Willie Gay Jr. has time and again stressed that his son Jahsiah never misses a chance to watch his videos on YouTube. Not to mention, the 2-year-old does not miss his father’s games with the Chiefs as well. The Kansas City linebacker added that making his son proud gives him the strength to pursue greatness on the football field. Besides, Gay Jr. was on cloud nine when Jahsiah celebrated his first birthday in October 2022, letting his emotions loose in a heartfelt Instagram post.
He expressed how grateful he felt about his son being a healthy one-year-old after his premature birth. Moreover, he posted a young Jahsiah’s picture with the Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes. The kid crossing paths with the likes of Mahomes is proof that he is very involved in his father’s career and his team. It is yet to be learned if Jahsiah will make it to Las Vegas to cheer on the Chiefs.
