From sleeping in bone-chilling cold car seats and living in an abusive domestic environment to becoming an NFL star, Olamide Zaccheaus has been through a lot. The wide receiver was picked up by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2019 NFL draft. For 2023, OZ was signed up as a free agent by the Philadelphia Eagles and signed a $1,232,500 contract. 

The return specialist then moved to Washington and signed a $1,275,000 contract with Magic Johnson‘s Commanders in 2024. That’s great for a young player, but the way Zaccheaus has been playing this season is dope and paves the way for his future. The 27-year-old’s family moved from Nigeria to America when Zaccheaus was little. Wanna know more about his personal life? Dive right in.

Does Olamide Zaccheaus have a girlfriend?

Reportedly, the former Virginia Cavaliers football player has no girlfriend. Amid girlfriend rumors, he has stayed calm and always remained active on social media to post about either football or his hardworking mom. Olamide is single and unmarried. Surprisingly, he has never talked about this and has never made the news for romantic relationships off the field.

As per reports, he has always been working on his craft and has never been in the mood for a relationship. Well, talking more about his mood, OZ’s Instagram post on October 29, 2024, says it all. WR’s caption for the post was “Last two slides were my mood, before and after the hail mary.” In his other post on Instagram, the caption goes like this, “Forget yesterday. Live for today. Tomorrow will take care of itself.” This perfectly describes who the Washington Commanders‘ WR is. But apart from football, there is one entity whom Zaccheaus always has love for–his mom.

Who are Olamide Zaccheaus’ parents?

Olamide Zaccheaus was brought up by his single mom, Yimbra Mozimo. They moved out of Nigeria and landed in the United States when OZ was just five years old. After parting ways with Olamide’s dad, she worked two jobs tirelessly, earning enough money to allow OZ to pursue his footballing dreams. He has always been grateful to his mom. Talking about her, Olamide captured his gratitude in simple words, “I’m here because of my mother.” He must have looked back at the days when he used to sleep on the floor where Yimbra was working.

Talking about her son, OZ’s mom said, “Once Olamide got involved with football, he built a strong passion for it and it wouldn’t stop.” And Olamide remembers every sacrifice his mom has made for him. In another instance, when asked about his mother, Zaccheaus said, “I know everything she’s done for me, that’s my heart”. And since he stepped on the NFL gridiron, Olamide has made Mama Zaccheaus proud. She must be overjoyed to see her son spread his wings into the upper echelons of football.
