What is the new buzz going on about Derwin James? Did he welcome another baby? With WHOOO?! I mean, his fans won’t let this slide in without an answer, for sure. It’s hard not to be curious when now and then we witness James giving his Instagram followers a sneak peek into his personal life, and recently, that is exactly what happened. Let’s drive in to know his status off the field.
James keeps his private life pretty low-key, but several social media posts suggest he is in a relationship with Kiah Jae (Nakiah Jenah Dark). She is a former Toledo basketball player, Instagram personality, and Forbes anchor. The two have been spotted together several times, and Kiah’s IG stories have only added more fuel to the fire. The confusion remains since neither James nor Kiah Jae has officially confirmed their relationship or marriage, but their social media interactions are giving off a completely different vibe, making the fans believe otherwise.

Looking at his life, James is a Los Angeles Chargers safety, known for his defensive skills. He was born in Haines City, Florida, Derwin Alonzo James Jr. was raised in a football-loving household. His journey to the NFL was led by his family’s support, especially from his mother, Shanita Jones. From a young age, James displayed an extraordinary talent that led him to play college football at Florida State before making his mark in the 2018 NFL draft. The Chargers drafted him in the first round (17th overall). We have seen his family be a constant presence at Chargers games, celebrating his achievements. They have often been spotted in the stands, cheering him on during matchups. The Chargers’ official social media account frequently highlights his contributions, whether through game-winning plays, locker-room speeches, or community involvement.

Who is Derwin James’ baby mama?
While Instagram is full of Derwin’s pictures with his son Trey, there is no mention of any newborn, let alone the name of the baby’s mama. Lately, there has been an odd speculation regarding Derwin James welcoming a girl child. We have no official confirmation from James. All we have is a shared Instagram account, @theking_zo, where James and Kiah Jae post adorable pictures of their son (the pair welcomed their first child into the world on July 4, 2021).

Kiah Jae’s Instagram posts reveal the heartfelt moments between the two, which caused the buzz about their relationship status. It’s not just Kia’s posts, there exist a lot of fan-made Instagram posts featuring Kia and James that feed the rumors. On the other hand, James prefers to keep things private, which only adds to the curiosity about their relationship status. His fans are never sure what is going on. If we think about it, why would a person of his profile just let anyone have his pictures posted on their Instagram, which for sure suggests their relationship?
Their relationship timeline remains unclear, social media interactions suggest they have been together for at least a couple of years if not more. We have witnessed their public outings, vacations, and shared moments online. Recently, Kiah Jae has made multiple Instagram stories to celebrate Derwin James’ success. We are yet to witness if he will ever make his love life public or if breadcrumbs are all we gonna have on our way.
