Saquon Barkley switched on beast mode in his first season with the Philadelphia Eagles. The running back shattered multiple franchise and NFL records this season en route to his first Super Bowl win.
While most of the credit goes to the hours he puts in training and perfecting his movements, Barkley’s family also plays a huge role in motivating him.
Saquon Barkley Opens Up About Future With Anna Congdon
Barkley has been dating Anna Congdon for nearly a decade now. Their relationship dates back to college. They first met at Penn State in 2016 and attended the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity formal together in December of that year.
The couple became social media official in February 2017 as second-semester freshmen. While the couple isn’t married, they do have two children together: Jada Clare, who was born in 2018, and Saquon Jr., who was born in 2022.
In an exclusive interview with E! News’ Francesca Amiker about his C4 energy partnership, Barkley opened up about the number of kids he plans on having with Congdon. He hopes to expand his family and live a happy life with his partner.
“I used to be the type of person that would be like, ‘Oh, I want three. So, however many God want to bless us with, I’m with that,” Barkley said.
Barkley has shared his obvious love for his daughter Jada since Day 1, saying: “I’m just honored and blessed that I have a daughter in Jada and be able to enter fatherhood and always gotta try to set the standard for her because her image of a man is gonna be off of me.”

Barkley also speaks about his son in glowing terms, calling him a beautiful baby and saying: “He lights up the room. Amazing smile. Jada is being an amazing big sister. Anna, obviously an amazing mom. We’ve got a beautiful little family.”
One of the main reasons Barkley returned to college and finished his degree at Penn State in 2022 was to be a role model for his children. Of course, Congdon was one of his biggest supporters along the way.
Congdon also has a sports background; she played basketball at Forest City Regional High School. She was named the team’s captain in 2016 when they won their first district title in five years.
This family of four is adorable, and Congdon will be right by Barkley’s side as he looks to expand his family and continue his successful career in Philadelphia.
