Who Is Juliana Rivera? Meet NFL TE Jordan Akins’ Partner in Crime

When Jordan Akins steps onto the field for the Cleveland Browns, he’s not just playing for himself – he’s got a powerful support system cheering him on. At the heart of that system is Juliana Rivera, Akins’ partner, and mother to their daughter. But don’t mistake Rivera for just another NFL WAG. This woman is a force of nature all on her own.

With over 5,000 Instagram followers, Rivera gives fans a peek into her multifaceted life. Her feed is a mix of fashionable fits, workout reels, and heartwarming family moments. But it’s her captions that really let her personality shine through.

Take her second birthday wish for their daughter Jaliyah: “To my sassy Libra… HAPPY BIRTHDAY I can’t believe you’re already TWO!! Slow down You’ve changed my life forever (for the better of course). Being your mommy brings me so much joy You are so smart, kind, loving and above all, SASSY! & i have no idea where you get it from … lol”

Rivera’s Instagram doesn’t shy away from the realities of pregnancy and postpartum life. In a particularly vulnerable post about her pregnancy, she wrote: “Watching my body change and grow has been such a beautiful and hard thing to experience. I laugh when people ask ‘omg are you sure you aren’t carrying twins?!’ ‘Wow you’re ready to POP!’ When i was only 6/7 months lol Or ‘Omg you’re so chubby, it’s cute'”

But Rivera didn’t let those comments get her down. Fast forward to December 2021, and she’s posting workout videos with a whole new attitude: “Around this time 1 year ago i was 2 months PP struggling to embrace my new body. To see how far I’ve come since then just amazes me! This journey is beautiful & so is being a #MILF”

Talk about a glow-up!

The Akins-Rivera teamwork makes the dream work

While there’s no official record of when Akins and Rivera started dating, sources suggest they’ve been together for over six years. That’s longer than most NFL careers!

Rivera’s support for Akins is evident in her game day posts. “Game day! Let’s go daddy ☺️ #84onGO”, she captioned one photo, showing their daughter decked out in Browns’ gear.

As Akins enters his second year with the Browns, he’s poised for a bigger role. According to an analysis by SB Nation, “Based on Ken Dorsey’s usage of 12 personnel formations and overall offensive scheme, Akins should see an uptick in both playing time and production this upcoming season.”

With Rivera in his corner, Akins has the support he needs to tackle whatever challenges come his way – on and off the field.

At the end of the day, what shines through in Rivera’s posts is the deep love she has for her family. On Jaliyah’s first birthday, she wrote:

“One year ago today i gave birth to the most beautiful, smart, STRONG, nosey and funny little girl ever Everything i do is for you, Jaliyah Devi and i could never thank you enough for making me a mommy.”

As Akins and Rivera continue to build their life together, one thing is clear: they’re a team that’s hard to beat. And with Rivera’s strength, sass, and unwavering support, Akins has the best cheerleader a tight end could ask for.
