Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy recently made headlines for more than just his football prowess.
Before embarking on his first NFL training camp, Worthy took a significant personal step by proposing to his girlfriend, United States track and field star Tia Jones, in a beautifully orchestrated beachside engagement.
The proposal was nothing short of spectacular.
In a heartwarming video shared on Instagram, Worthy is seen guiding Jones towards the ocean, where an intricate setup awaited them. Countless red roses adorned the area, creating a romantic and picturesque scene. At the center of this floral arrangement was a gigantic heart made entirely of red roses, with a candlelit message spelling out “Marry Me.” As the couple approached, Worthy dropped to one knee and presented Jones with a stunning diamond ring, sealing the momentous occasion.
The couple’s social media announcement quickly garnered a flood of congratulations from fans, friends, and teammates. Among those extending their best wishes were Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and University of Texas quarterback Arch Manning, highlighting the widespread support and joy surrounding the couple’s engagement.
Worthy, who was a standout player at the University of Texas, was the Chiefs’ first-round pick in this year’s NFL Draft. He is anticipated to bring a significant boost of speed and talent to the already formidable Kansas City offense right from the start of the season.

Tia Jones, meanwhile, has made her mark as an accomplished track and field athlete. Although she was an Olympic hopeful for the 100m hurdles this summer, she did not qualify for the Paris Games at the U.S. Track and Field trials. Nevertheless, Jones has an impressive track record, being a two-time gold medalist at the Under-20 World Championships.
The couple recently celebrated another milestone in their journey together—becoming homeowners. Jones shared their joy on Instagram, posting, “We are homeowners ?? Super blessed to be able to experience buying a home with the person you love!! Nothing more important than family and building a foundation!” This significant achievement adds to their growing list of shared accomplishments and solidifies their commitment to building a future together.
As Worthy prepares to make his mark in the NFL and Jones continues to excel in her athletic endeavors, their engagement marks a beautiful beginning to a new chapter in their lives. Congratulations to Xavier and Tia on their engagement and their new home!
