Here is everything you need to know about their relationship and how they balance their busy careers.
How They Met and Fell in Love
Deebo Samuel and Mahogany Jones met in 2019, when Jones was gaining popularity for appearing in music videos for artists like Hoodrich Pablo Juan and Gucci Mane. Samuel, who was drafted by the 49ers in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, hinted at their romance on Instagram, when he commented with a heart emoji and “met mine” on a post that Jones captioned: “You searching for a badder but you ain’t met her yet.”
The couple confirmed their relationship later that year, and have been inseparable ever since. They often share sweet photos and videos of each other on social media, showing their affection and support. Jones has also accompanied Samuel to several games and events, wearing his jersey and cheering him on.
