Jackson and Taylor met around 2014 at Boynton Beach Community High School, according to Heavy. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has two MVP awards and a spot among the NFL ‘s most watched players, yet the person closest to him barely exists online. Jaime Taylor, his girlfriend of many years and the mother of his daughter, has no public social media account and rarely appears at games or red carpet events. The two met at a Florida high school long before football made him famous. Their story stands out in a league where partners often build their own followings, and the couple seems perfectly happy to keep it that way. The story starts in Florida.
In a 2019 interview with the Ravens’ media team, she explained how Jackson shaped the way she handles outside noise.
“He’s taught me how to handle criticism,” she said. He says, ‘Let them do the talking. Just show them.'” A Ravens insider once told Baltimore Beatdown that she is a steadying presence. “She’s his calm,” the insider said. “He’s a competitor, but she gives him balance.”
Taylor has spoken publicly only once that is widely known. “I used to get mad when I’d read stuff. Then I’d look at him, and he’s just fine. You don’t have to say anything.
