Football star Marvin Jones Jr.His family has been behind him since he entered the NFL in 2012.
The Detroit Lions wide receiver married his longtime love, Jazzmyn Jones, in 2014 and the two have welcomed six children together: Marvin III, Mareon, Murrell, Mya, Marlo and Mila. The family suffered tragedy in December 2019 when Marlo died at six months old.
“Yesterday the Lord called a piece of my family’s heart home, Marlo,” Marvin revealed in a Instagram placed at the time. “It’s hard to believe that our little angel, our fighter from day one, our son ‘Marlito’ has unfortunately passed away and is no longer here with us. Marlo, the joy you brought us every day [sic], with that smile, and that energy was like heaven on earth. You will always be in our hearts. We will always remember you.”
In October 2023, Marvin announced that he would be “stepping away” from the Lions for the remainder of the 2023-2024 NFL season due to unspecified “personal family matters.” He explained: “Although this was not an easy decision, I cannot be the person/player I need to be for this team and also provide for my family remotely.”
