Deebo Samuel and girlfriend Mahogany Jones may keep their romance low-key but they’re not afraid to show off their love for their son, Tyshun.
Samuel and Jones — who were first linked in 2019 — welcomed Tyshun in December 2021. Nearly one year after becoming a dad, the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver opened up about how fatherhood changed his perspective on life.
“It made me have more patience than I ever had, for sure. But, you know, my son is my priority before anything,” Samuel said to USA Today in November 2022. “My No. 1 thing is to make sure he has a life that I didn’t have growing up and just make sure he has not another worry on this earth. So that’s why I go out there every day, practice, games, just giving my all to make sure he’s fine.”
Since welcoming their bundle of joy, Jones has brought Tyshun down to the 49ers stadium to watch Samuel practice and play.
