Deebo Samuel and his girlfriend, Mahogany Jones, keep their relationship private, but they openly share their love for their son, Tyshun.
The couple, who started dating in 2019, welcomed Tyshun in December 2021. Nearly a year after becoming a father, the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver expressed how fatherhood has impacted his outlook on life.
"I definitely have more patience now than I've ever had before. But, you know, my son comes first before anything else," Samuel told USA Today in November 2022. "My top priority is to ensure that he has a better life than I did growing up and that he has no worries in this world. That's why I give my all every day, in practice and games, to make sure he's taken care of."
Since becoming a father, Jones has been bringing Tyshun to the 49ers stadium to watch Samuel during practice and games.

Following three years with the 49ers, he secured a three-year contract extension worth $73.5 million, with $58.1 million guaranteed. During an interview with Overtime SZN, Jones revealed her initial disbelief and astonishment upon hearing about Samuel's substantial payday. She expressed her reaction, stating, "When he told me the offer, I’m like, ‘You’re lying, you’re lying.’ He’s like, ‘No, I’m serious.’ I’m like, ‘I can’t believe it.’” Jones further reflected, “I said, ‘We knew this day was coming.’ But to actually see it, and we both just sat back and [were] like ‘Wow.’”
