Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown is the type of player who can completely change a game, and he has helped lead the Eagles right back to the Super Bowl.
Off the field, family is what keeps Brown balanced. Managing the demands of professional football while raising young children isn’t easy, but he relies on a strong support system to keep everything steady. Here’s what to know about his longtime girlfriend, and now fiancée, Kelsey Riley.
A.J. Brown and Kelsey Riley Have 2 Kids Together
Riley has been in a relationship with Brown since at least 2022, when she first posted a picture posing with their son, Arthur Brown Jr., whom they welcomed in September that year.
The Eagles WR also has a daughter, Jersee, who was born in May 2020. During the pandemic, he was able to spend more time caring for her than he usually would during a football season.
In an appearance on NFL Total Access, Brown admitted that the sleepless nights were tough, but every moment with his baby girl was worth it.
In 2021, while still playing for the Tennessee Titans, Brown became emotional while talking about his daughter, saying that she’s the reason he continues to play, admitting that she’s the one he plays for and from whom he gathers his courage.
Riley, Brown’s fiancée, is a former model-turned-social media influencer. Active on Instagram since 2019, she recently celebrated her birthday. Brown ensured the celebration felt special, a final moment of fun before fully focusing on the regular season grind.
In her birthday post, Riley showed off a large bouquet of roses received from her boyfriend and also shared a video selfie of them spending her birthday in the clouds as they enjoyed a helicopter ride.
The couple seemed to end the night with some scrumptious-looking desserts, including a hot skillet cookie, which served as a birthday cake, as well as a carrot cake.
Riley is a Louisiana native and graduated from Texas Southern University, where she played softball from 2016-19. Her impressive skills granted her the biggest opportunity she never could’ve imagined — a free education.
Brown and Riley announced their engagement in May 2025, shortly after the Eagles won the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. Now sitting at 8-3 to start the 2025 season, Philadelphia has faced growing speculation about Brown’s long-term future with the team.
His involvement in the offense hasn’t been as steady as expected, and the unit as a whole has struggled to find rhythm. The Eagles will need to get things on track quickly because Brown remains one of the league’s elite playmakers, and unlocking his full impact is key to their success.
