Jackson and Taylor, however, have been together since their college years at the University of Louisville. During Jackson’s rise to fame, which included winning the Heisman Trophy and being named the 2016 College Football Player of the Year, Taylor was a constant presence, supporting him through every significant moment.
The couple is not married yet, but in 2022, Lamar Jackson revealed that they have a daughter named Milan. That year, he posted a picture of the child to celebrate her first birthday. That would mean she is 3 years old now.
Lamar has always tried to keep his kid and girlfriend away from the media glare. In one of his stories on Instagram in 2022, Jackson had reflected on his desire to protect his family.
“When you have something good, you don’t play with it. You don’t take chances losing it. You don’t neglect it. When you have something good, you pour into it. You appreciate it. Because when you take care of something good, that good thing takes care of you too,” he wrote.
Taylor’s presence as a source of support has indeed been “something good” for Jackson. The QB, on his part, has also taught a few life lessons to his girlfriend.
In an article on the Ravens’ website, Taylor was quoted as saying that she used to get deeply affected when people criticized Jackson.
“… 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’.,” added Taylor.
It is evident that both Jackson and Taylor and supporting each other in their own professional quests while building a beautiful world for themselves on the home front.
