Former NFL receiver DeSean Jackson is turning heads with his new relationship with Yahaira Sandoval.
The couple, currently enjoying a tropical vacation, shared a steamy photo where Jackson, best known for his five-year tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles, is seen affectionately grabbing Sandoval’s butt as they kiss in the sea.
Sandoval, a Los Angeles-based entrepreneur who owns a beauty bar and a clothing brand, documented their getaway with a series of Instagram posts. Jackson, clearly smitten, commented “Baddest” on one of her photos, adding heart and flame emojis to express his admiration.

Before her relationship with Jackson, Sandoval was reportedly linked to boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. At that time, Jackson was engaged to Kayla Phillips, with whom he shares two sons.
Jackson’s NFL career spanned 14 years, during which he played for teams including Washington, Tampa Bay, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Baltimore, in addition to his memorable spell in Philadelphia. He retired on his 37th birthday in December, after signing a ceremonial one-day contract with the Eagles, the team that drafted him in 2008, allowing him to retire as an Eagle.
Despite earning over $100 million during his NFL career, Jackson revealed last year on the No Jumper podcast that he wasn’t satisfied with his financial status. “The hustler I am, I ain’t satisfied with the money I made in the NFL,” he said. “I would meet you today, and you wouldn’t even think I made 100 plus million in NFL. Because guess what? That money right there, that’s going to make my future be cool for my kids. But right now, I still need bread, so I’m out here getting all type of stuff, going private equity, real estate…
“S***, f*** the NFL. That s*** was cool, but what’s next? I’m trying to go touch some Magic Johnson-type s***.”
Jackson’s post-NFL ventures indicate a man still driven to achieve more, exploring opportunities in private equity and real estate to secure his financial future and build a legacy akin to that of Magic Johnson.
