Controversy and sports go hand in hand. Just look at Xavier Worthy and Tia Jones. Last year, they used to be each other’s biggest fans. The duo even called themselves “The Worthy’s 💍🌹.” But now it seems to them both that the other is simply unworthy. Last July, we saw the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver bend his knee for Jones. But this year everything’s different. While he already missed out on the ring in the superbowl, he might miss out on the roses too. Why? Well, Tia might have a clue to that.

But to understand Worthy’s case better, we have to go back to March 7th. And as it so happens, Xavier Worthy found himself in a serious situation after being arrested on charges of domestic violence. According to a report from US Magazine, Worthy was taken into custody on Friday, March 7, and charged with assault against a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation.

The public remains unaware of the identity of the reported victim. The Kansas City Chiefs are currently investigating the  whole situation on their end. Meanwhile, Worthy maintains his silence towards both his arrest and the implicated charges. But as a result, the chief will have to spend his time behind bars for now. Until March 8, of course, when he can finally appear before a judge.

But what charges might Worthy face come March 8? Well, the maximum prison term that Worthy could receive for “a*sault against a family or household member by impeding breathing or circulation” would be ten years. Official information about the arrest has not been released because investigators from the police and district attorney’s office actively investigate this case.

This event’s timing creates significant inquiries about the actual causes leading to these charges since all available information remains under active investigation. To make things more interesting, a quick scroll through Tia Jones’s Instagram reveals that as of March 7, she’s no longer following Xavier Worthy. And, him? Well, he too isn’t following her either.

But at the same time, the strange situation stands out because their social media posts continue to appear together. People are uncertain whether this change indicates a relationship-ending breakup or simply adds more unpredictable confusion to their situation. Only time will tell. But the Worthy couple were even discussing marriage. So what now?

The twist of fate that set Tia Jones and Xavier Worthy’s romance in motion

Worthy and Tia Jones’ first meeting was a coincidence but this coincidence kept going on because destiny had different plans for them. On The Pregame Podcast, Jones shared how the Chiefs wide receiver first slid into her DMs. “You know how it is with Instagram—swipe in, swipe out,” she laughed. She admitted that she didn’t reply to his initial message.

But fate had a different plan for them. Sometime later, the two randomly ended up at the same Texas restaurant. Jones was training there, and Worthy was playing for the University of Texas. She had already been having a “horrible” night, running late for dinner when a car cut her off. It turned out to be Worthy in the car ahead of her.

When they both arrived at the valet, Tia Jones spotted Worthy and immediately recognized him. “He gave me a look like, ‘I’ve been looking for you,’” Jones remembered. “That’s why God had me late to that dinner ‘cause I met my man.” And the rest is history. Later on, he asked her out on a date. Fast forward to July 2024, and Worthy proposed to her in the fairy tale way on the beach with a beautiful red flower arch and a “Marry Me” sign.

Two months later, Worthy had made his NFL debut and scored two touchdowns. As they prepared for their wedding, they even bought their first house together. But now, the million-dollar question is: will they truly turn this house into a home, or will it just be four walls and a roof? Time will tell!
