The longtime New York Giants running back, who recently signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, is the father of two children whom he shares with girlfriend Anna Congdon.
Barkley and Congdon — who met at Penn State University and have been dating since 2017 — welcomed their firstborn, daughter Jada, in April 2018. They welcomed their second child, son Saquon Jr., in September 2022.
Shortly after Jada’s birth, Barkley said he was “honored and blessed” to have a daughter and to enter fatherhood. “[Always] gotta try to set the standard for her because her image of a man is gonna be off of me,” he added.
Barkley left Penn State early after he was drafted into the NFL by the Giants on April 26, 2018, becoming the second overall pick that year. Despite his departure from school, the athlete completed his degree in May 2022 in part with his kids in mind.
