Saquon Barkley, the Philadelphia Eagles running back, received a heartwarming voicemail from his six-year-old daughter, Jada, ahead of the highly anticipated 2025 Super Bowl. Jada, whom Barkley shares with his fiancée Anna Congdon, expressed her excitement for the game, her hopes for his victory, and most importantly, her unwavering love for her father in the encouraging message.
In the voicemail, Jada reassured Barkley, “I’m so excited for your big game. I really really really hope you win and Daddy, I’m really thankful that you’ve been caring for your whole family.” She continued, “I’ll always always love you and SJ would always love you and Mommy would always love you, and your mother and father would always love you. Our whole family would always love you no matter what you do.”
Barkley and Congdon welcomed their first child, Jada, in April 2018, followed by their son, Saquon Jr., in September 2022. Barkley, who met Congdon at Penn State University and has been dating her since 2017, expressed his feelings of honor and blessing upon entering fatherhood. He highlighted the importance of setting a positive example for his children and instilling in them the value of setting and achieving goals.

He shared his desire for his children to witness the power of determination and goal-setting, hoping they would draw inspiration from his achievements and strive for their own aspirations.
As Jada and Saquon Jr. grew older, they became regulars at Barkley’s games, where they participated in a pregame handshake ritual with their father for good luck. Barkley revealed the origins of the unique handshake routines he shared with each of his children, emphasizing the special bond he shares with them both on and off the field.

Barkley’s fans eagerly awaited his performance on the field while admiring the touching family dynamic he shared with Jada and Saquon Jr. The heartfelt voicemail from his daughter served as a poignant reminder of the love and support that fuels Barkley’s drive to succeed on and off the football field.
As Barkley prepared for the biggest game of his career, the message from Jada resonated with fans, highlighting the personal sacrifices, dedication, and motivation that underpin his journey to success.
