Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Quarterback Baker Mayfield Enjoys Success On and Off the Field

As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers‘ quarterback Baker Mayfield continues an impressive season, attention has also turned to his personal life. Earlier this year, Mayfield announced the arrival of his daughter, Kova Jade Mayfield, born in April 2024.

Mayfield and his wife, Emily Wilkinson, have shared their life journey publicly, giving fans a glimpse into their supportive partnership. The couple met in 2017, introduced by a mutual friend. Their first interaction was serendipitous, occurring over a FaceTime call while Mayfield was playing football at the University of Oklahoma. Once they connected, their relationship quickly moved forward, culminating in marriage at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, California, on July 6, 2019.

In December 2023, the couple revealed they were expecting their first child. This announcement was made through a heartwarming Instagram post featuring their dog wearing a bandana declaring its role as a future “big brother.” By April 2024, their daughter Kova Jade was born.

Emily Wilkinson, originally from Nebraska, has played a significant role in Mayfield’s life, both personally and professionally. She studied business administration at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and later moved to Los Angeles, where she worked at Galanis Plastic Surgery. Following Mayfield’s NFL draft to the Cleveland Browns in 2018, she relocated to Cleveland, Ohio.

Wilkinson has since ventured into becoming an internet personality, amassing more than 220,000 followers on Instagram. Together with Mayfield, she co-founded a charity offering programs, scholarships, and opportunities aimed at helping individuals overcome life’s challenges.

The couple’s dedication extends beyond football, as Wilkinson has been a steadfast supporter of Mayfield through his NFL challenges. Her continued presence at his games highlights her commitment to his success, both on and off the field. With the birth of their daughter, the couple appears to be relishing this new chapter in their lives, as evidenced by Wilkinson’s heartfelt Instagram post celebrating Kova Jade’s birth.
