As of October 10th, 2025, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is a proud father of two children, Jada and Saquon Jr., whom he shares with his fiancée, Anna Congdon. The couple, who met at Penn State University, welcomed their firstborn, Jada, in April 2018, just two days before Barkley was drafted into the NFL by the Giants.
Despite leaving Penn State early to pursue his professional football career, Barkley made it a priority to complete his degree in May 2022, with his children in mind. "I also thought it would be good to get my degree to set an example for my siblings and my family," he told Giants.com. "I want my kids to be goal setters and whatever they want to accomplish, they can do it if they put their mind to it."
Barkley's children have become a constant presence on the sidelines during his games. They were there to celebrate the Eagles' Super Bowl win in 2025, and they are also featured in Barkley's new Prime Video documentary, "SAQUON," which began streaming on October 9th, 2025. Barkley has spoken openly about how fatherhood has impacted his mentality, saying, "She is my world. I'm going to give her the world."
