Chiefs' Chris Jones opens up about love and longing after split from longtime girlfriend stirs headlines

Kansas City Chiefs defensive star Chris Jones, known for his explosive presence on the field, is revealing a far more vulnerable side off it. Just months after a public and painful breakup with his longtime girlfriend Sheawna Weathersby, Jones appears to be yearning for something deeper than Super Bowl rings—companionship and love.

During a lighthearted training camp interview, the 31-year-old defensive tackle shared a surprisingly heartfelt goal from his bucket list: “I just wanna be married, I just wanna be loved.”

Jones’ tender revelation was posted on the Chiefs’ official TikTok account, drawing attention not just for its sincerity but also for its timing. The video surfaced four months after Weathersby’s Instagram post accused Jones of infidelity and confirmed their nine-year relationship had ended “months ago.”

“I’m choosing to focus on the positive as I close this chapter on a 9-year relationship,” she wrote. “Ultimately Chris’ infidelity with the woman he’s recently been pictured with led to my decision to end our relationship months ago.”The alleged incident referenced was a now-deleted Instagram photo of Jones with a woman licking his face, which further fueled the breakup narrative. Jones never publicly addressed the accusations.

However, he did declare his single status via a string of tweets back in January—just weeks before signing a mammoth five-year, $158.75 million contract extension that includes $101 million guaranteed.Weathersby’s post also described unsettling harassment from the other woman, claiming, “This is especially troubling given her history of harassment, stalking and disrespect towards me… This behavior has forced me to change my number and has forced Chris to ask her multiple times to please leave me alone and respect our coparenting dynamic.”

Despite the personal upheaval, Jones continues to dominate on the field. Last season, he recorded 75 pressures, 29 quarterback hits, and 10.5 sacks—proving why he's a cornerstone of the Chiefs’ defense.Jones and Weathersby, who had been together since at least 2015, share two young children, 6-year-old Christopher and 2-year-old Carson. Weathersby was a familiar presence at games and developed close bonds with other Chiefs WAGs, including Taylor Swift, who is currently dating tight end Travis Kelce.Now, with fame, fortune, and football already under his belt, Jones seems to be seeking something far more elusive—someone to stand beside him when the crowd fades and the lights go dim.Also Read: Who is Jimalita Tillman?
