Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens’ star quarterback and two-time NFL MVP, continues to cement himself as one of the league’s most electrifying talents. Although a recent hamstring injury briefly slowed his 2025 campaign, he’s set to return in Week 9 with hopes of leading another deep postseason run.
As Jackson’s profile grows both on and off the field, fans have become increasingly curious about his life away from football, particularly his romantic relationships. So, is the Ravens superstar dating, married, or keeping things private? Here’s what we know about Jackson’s personal life.
Lamar Jackson’s Relationship Status
Jackson has been romantically linked to longtime partner Jaime Taylor, and the two have been together for several years.
Jackson and Taylor first crossed paths at Boynton Beach Community High School in Florida, where Taylor was three grades below him. Although they didn’t begin dating at the time, the pair later reconnected at the University of Louisville, sparking a relationship around 2017 during Jackson’s final collegiate season. While not technically high school sweethearts, their connection goes back to those early days.
In 2021, the couple quietly welcomed their daughter, Milan, into the world. Jackson kept the news private until months later, when he shared an adorable Halloween photo of his little girl on social media, surprising many fans.
A year later, Jackson caused a stir when he posted a photo on Instagram with another baby girl, leading many fans to believe he was announcing a second child. However, Jackson quickly stepped in to clarify the situation.
“Everybody fall back, that’s my goddaughter. But thank you lol,” he wrote on X, shutting down the rumors.
While the couple has been relatively private about their relationship, Taylor candidly spoke about Jackson’s impact on her in a 2019 interview with Clifton Brown for the Ravens’ team website.

“He’s taught me how to handle criticism,” Taylor said. “I mean, I used to get mad when I’d read stuff. 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.'”
Outside of her personal life, Taylor is reportedly a professional groomer in the Los Angeles area and has collaborated with major brands such as Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Vogue, Esquire, and GQ. She’s also worked with notable celebrity photographers, including Annie Leibovitz, Steven Klein, and Richard Burbridge.
As of now, it’s unclear whether Taylor and Jackson are still together. She maintains no active public social media presence, and Jackson rarely posts about his personal relationships. Jackson is ranked fourth in PFSN’s QB Impact metric.
The last time Jackson publicly referenced Taylor was in 2022, when he admitted to a lapse in judgment after responding to a fan on Twitter with a few choice words. He later revealed that Taylor encouraged him to delete the message to avoid unnecessary negativity and hurt feelings.
“My girlfriend was like, ‘I think you should delete it,'” Jackson told reporters on December 2, 2022. “I’m like, ‘Alright.’ Because I don’t know if I hurt somebody’s feelings. So, I did. That’s just what it was. That’s why I deleted it.”
Moments like these highlight Taylor’s influence behind the scenes, even if their relationship isn’t broadcast publicly. For now, fans continue to respect the tight circle Jackson keeps around his family and personal life.
