Lamar Jackson might be best known as the electrifying quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, but off the field, he holds another title that means the world to him—dad. Lamar’s daughter, Milan Jackson, lovingly called “Lani,” has been a source of pure joy and inspiration in his life. Born on January 4, 2021, Milan is now 4 years old, and her presence has added a heartwarming chapter to Lamar’s story.
Lamar is no stranger to the spotlight, but when it comes to his personal life, he’s all about keeping things private. In fact, fans didn’t even know about Milan’s arrival until months after her birth.
The big reveal came in October 2021, when Lamar Jackson shared an adorable photo of Milan dressed as Pebbles from The Flintstones for Halloween. When fans gushed over the picture, Lamar proudly chimed in, asking, “She look good?”—and the answer was a resounding yes!

He shared a couple of precious snapshots on his Instagram Story, giving fans a rare peek into their father-daughter bond. One photo showed Milan with a bright, joyful smile, captioned with, “Happy 1st Girl day Mami.”
Another showed her bundled up in an adorable white snowsuit, experiencing snow for the very first time. Lamar couldn’t resist adding a playful note: “She not messing with the cold.” These moments gave fans a glimpse of Lamar’s softer, dad-side that isn’t always visible under his game-day helmet.
Despite his status as a public figure, Lamar has been deliberate about keeping Milan’s life—and his family—away from the limelight. To this day, he hasn’t shared much about Milan’s mother, choosing to keep that part of his life private. It’s a decision that reflects how fiercely he protects his loved ones while navigating the demands of an NFL career.
What little he does share about Milan, however, speaks volumes. Whether it’s her big milestones or simply small, sweet glimpses, Lamar’s posts radiate love and pride. Milan is undoubtedly a cherished part of his world, and his devotion to her is clear.
Lamar’s journey as a father is as inspiring as his rise to NFL stardom. Balancing the pressures of professional football with fatherhood isn’t easy, but Lamar has shown he’s up to the challenge. While his game-day performances make headlines, it’s the quieter, more personal victories—like watching Milan take in the magic of her first snowfall—that mean the most to him.
As Lamar continues to dazzle fans on the field, there’s no doubt that his role as a dad is what truly keeps him grounded. Milan is more than his daughter—she’s his motivation, his joy, and his “Lani.” And while we might not see every moment of their life together, the little glimpses we do get remind us that behind the touchdowns and trophies is a proud dad who’s winning in all the ways that matter most.
So, while the Ravens quarterback will always be known for his speed, agility, and game-changing plays, his most important title—at least in his eyes—will always be “Dad.”
