Who Is Saquon Barkley's Fiancée? All About Anna Congdon

Saquon Barkley and Anna Congdon are engaged!

The NFL star announced the couple's engagement while speaking exclusively to PEOPLE in February 2025. "I have an amazing fiancée," he said. "I can't be the athlete I am and have the success I have without the help of her."

Barkley and Congdon have been together since 2017. They met in college, and in a little over a year, they went from each other's fraternity formal dates to co-parents and serious partners. They welcomed their first child together, daughter Jada, in April 2018.

Jada was born just two days before Barkley was drafted into the NFL by the New York Giants on April 26, 2018. The running back was the second overall pick at the draft that year.

In September 2022, Barkley and Congdon welcomed their second child, a son named Saquon Jr.

After six years with the Giants, Barkley was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in March 2024. The team went on to win the 2025 Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 9, with the help of the running back.

From meeting at Penn State to parenting two children, here's everything to know about Saquon Barkley's fiancée, Anna Congdon, and their relationship.

She is from Forest City, Pennsylvania

Congdon is from Forest City, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Forest City Regional High School. While a student there, she was the captain of the girls' basketball team. In a February 2016 Forest City Girls Basketball Facebook post, Congdon is pictured grinning and holding a "2015-2016 District II Champions 'A' Girls Basketball" plaque. A separate post on the team's Facebook account reads, "Team captain Anna Congdon lifts the championships plaque in front of the huge Forest City crowd at Mohegan Sun Arena!"

Following her high school graduation in June 2016, Congdon shared a photo of herself in a cap and gown, posing with her mother. "There is nothing I will miss more at college than sharing genuine smiles with this one🌹," Congdon wrote in her Instagram caption.

She met Barkley at Pennsylvania State University

Congdon and Barkley met in college before Barkley became an NFL star. Congdon started school at Penn State in September 2016 and joked on Instagram, "penn state university… where the girls are always hot and the beer is ice cold." At the time, Barkley was playing for Penn State's football team.

The couple attended a Pi Kappa Phi fraternity formal together in December 2016. "He's alright on the field but you should see him on the dance floor," Congdon said on Instagram caption alongside a photo from the event. By February 2017, they were in an Instagram official relationship, and she wished a happy twentieth birthday to her "two-six" with a sweet photo.

She is a mom of two

The couple share a daughter, Jada Clare Barkley, and a son, Saquon Barkley Jr.

"💗 Jada Clare 💗 8 lbs 4 oz and 20.5 inches long - the love I have for her is something extraordinarily indescribable," Congdon wrote on Instagram announcing the birth of her daughter.

Jada Clare is a big fan of her dad's, and she had an encouraging message for him in a video posted by the Giants' Twitter account in September 2021. "Hi, Daddy! Good luck, Daddy! Be really safe. Run super fast like this," she says in the video. "Run faster! Touchdown! Be safe, Daddy. Do your best! I love you."

Barkley opened up about his daughter shortly after her birth, saying, "I'm just honored and blessed that I have a daughter in Jada and be able to enter fatherhood and always gotta try to set the standard for her because her image of a man is gonna be off of me."

In September 2022, Congdon and Barkley welcomed their second child together and first son. The football player called Saquon Jr. a "beautiful baby." He added, "He lights up the room. Amazing smile. Jada is being an amazing big sister. Anna, obviously an amazing mom. We've got a beautiful little family."

She has a large social media following

Congdon has more than 130,000 Instagram followers and over 5,000 Twitter followers. These days, she is more active on Twitter and she frequently supports Barkley on the platform.

She encouraged Barkley to finish his degree

Barkley left Penn State early when he entered the 2018 NFL draft, and he ended up completing his degree in May 2022. "Everyone pushed me," he said. "My parents pushed me to accomplish it, Anna pushed me to accomplish it … and I was happy to get it done."

The running back wanted to graduate not only for himself but also for his family. "I also thought it would be good to get my degree to set an example for my siblings and my family," he explained. "I want my kids to be goal setters and whatever they want to accomplish, they can do it if they put their mind to it. I would love for them to one day say, 'I want to accomplish this and actually see it come to fruition.' "

She is Barkley's No. 1 supporter

Congdon publicly cheers on Barkley and amplifies his messages on social media. In January 2023, she tweeted, "I support Saquon #WPMOYChallenge Barkley" to vote for him and help him win the Walter Payton Man of the Year competition; the player who wins the NFL charity challenge receives $25,000 toward a charity of their choice.

Earlier on in Barkley's career, she shared a photo of her and her daughter smiling at one of his games. She also retweeted Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s congratulatory tweet to Barkley, "Btw 26 in the big blue jersey WILLL be the number one sellin Jersey in America next year. Takin all bets!!!? @saquon can't wait Lil brudda."

Cogndon was also spotted in a December 2024 edition of the NFL's "Mic'd Up" series as she brought their children to see their dad on the field when the Eagles played against the Carolina Panthers.

When Barkley passed the 2,000 rushing yards milestone in that same month, helping the Eagles secure a victory against the Dallas Cowboys, Congdon took the opportunity to celebrate him with a post on her Instagram Stories.

Alongside a photo of Barley from the game, Congdon wrote, "You outshine the morning sun."

She and Barkley attended the 2024 NFL Honors

Ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, the couple and their daughter, Jada, attended the NFL Honors in Las Vegas. Congdon wowed in a black satin dress and red heels, while Barkley donned a white suit jacket and black pants.

She cheered Barkley on as he and the Eagles won the 2025 NFC Championship

After Barkley and the Eagles nabbed a victory at the 2025 NFC Championship, the team is now headed to Super Bowl LVIII, and Congdon — along with the couple's children — were there to cheer him on.

In a video shared by the NFL on X, Barkley and Congdon can be seen celebrating on the field with Jada and Saquon Jr. in their arms as confetti rained down on them.

She and Barkley are engaged

Wedding bells are ringing for Barkley and Congdon. The NFL player announced their engagement in February 2025 and gushed about his "fiancée" to PEOPLE.

"She's been super helpful and always has my back, not only in football but throughout life," he said. "As we continue to grow and mature and go through life together, we continue getting closer and continue to get even better."

Barkley continued, "And it's a beautiful thing because we have two amazing children. We just sit back and laugh sometimes when they're over there playing and just smile and think about where everything started."

During a press conference days later, Barkley revealed that he'd proposed to Congdon roughly six months prior to making the news public.

She supported Barkley at the 2025 Super Bowl

On Feb. 9, 2025, the Eagles secured the Lombardi Trophy at the Super Bowl in New Orleans. Congdon and the couple's two children celebrated with Barkley on the field following his big win.

“Congratulations, my favorite," Jada said to her dad during a post-game interview.
