Tia Jones has definitely been going through it lately. Whether it’s her public breakup with ex-fiancé, Xavier Worthy, or missing the Paris Olympics because of injuries that didn’t let her go. She has been the center of the headlines for quite time for all the wrong reasons. But enough is enough. Tia might be battered, but she ain’t broken yet. Leaving behind a dark chapter in her life, Tia is trying to turn over a new leaf.

Jones was a part of the inaugural Grand Slam Track meet in Kinston, Jamaica. Competing in women’s short hurdles category with the likes of Olympic Champion Masai Russell, Tia ran like a cheetah trying to catch her prey. When the gun went off, Jones stormed to 12.63 seconds. That didn’t just win her the race but also helped her capture the world-leading time for 2025. Tia’s sheer dominance helped her break the record that previously belonged to South Africa’s Marione Fourie.

However, her next day’s 100m race taught Tia that she still needs to improve a lot. Jones ended up finishing 6th while Danielle Williams stood out in front of her home crowd. Well, that 6th spot may have turned some heads away. But the moment Jones was announced second overall in her short hurdles group, she got what she deserved. Jones walked away with a $50,000 paycheck. Considering she just bagged a 5-figure win earlier this month, Tia gave herself a self-treat.

On Saturday, Tia was captured going on a solo shopping spree, maybe to divert her mind a bit. While doing so, she showed off some beautiful bracelets that shone brightly under the sun. But among all the snaps, it was her outfit that ended up catching everyone’s attention. Tia had a white top on paired with classy denim jeans. Now, she may not have shown off the things she brought home from her solo shopping trip. But we can definitely guess she must have got what she wanted.

After her 5-figure win, Tia even wrote a three-word caption on Instagram: “World lead gyal.” Those words screamed relief for Tia, who had been going through hell lately. However, in a shocking twist, Tia’s off-field drama also seems to have met its conclusion. Considering Tia just bagged a 5-figure win earlier this month, money won’t be an issue for her.

Xavier Worthy and Tia Jones’ bitter legal feud ends in a dramatic conclusion

Just last month, both Tia and Worthy went back and forth against each other in the courtroom. First, it was the track and field star who filed a protective order against the Chiefs WR. Then, after he was arrested for alleged assault against a family member, Worthy reportedly described those claims as baseless. Amid ongoing investigation, Williamson County District Attorney Shawn Dick chose not to file charges against Worthy in his report. But after a while, Worthy filed a lawsuit against Jones, seeking $250,000 in damages.

But a few days ago, the former couple decided to end their legal pursuits. TMZ Sports claimed that Worthy and Jones had dropped their respective legal cases. Worthy took back his protective order and lawsuit, while Tia also scrapped her permanent protective order against the sophomore receiver. Xavier Worthy said in a statement, “I regret any misunderstandings or conflicts that arose during my relationship with ex-fiancée..Ending a relationship that spanned over a year can be an emotional experience, and sometimes words are spoken out of hurt and frustration. This matter has now been settled.”

This brings an end to a feud that threw the couple’s life off the rails. Xavier Worthy, who was coming off a sensational rookie year catching 59 passes for 638 yards and 6 TDs, will now try to turn his focus back to football. As for Tia Jones, she has already shown how strong and resilient she is with a 5-figure win. Surely, there’s more to come in her track and field story.
