While at home during the off-season, Jekalyn Carr’s boyfriend Jawaan was browsing Instagram when he came across the recording artist’s singing video.
The American football player was intrigued by the young girl’s talent and attractiveness and showed the film to his mother and aunt, who shared his admiration. Even Carr’s relatives said that Taylor “would be a terrific girl” for her.
Later, the 23-year-old singer was someone the Jacksonville Jaguars athlete thought about talking to. Jawaan felt compelled to DM her on Instagram and worked up the bravery to do so.
The singer of Changing Your Story is rumored to despise people that enter her DM, but as Carr noted on The Willie Moore Show, there was something unique about the muscular athlete.
As they say, the rest is history. The two struck all the right notes and learned they shared interests and traits, which sparked a romance. They routinely hung together and informed Taylor’s mother about their connection.
It was just a matter of time until they made their relationship public, and they did so in October 2020 when they published an Instagram post making it official.
