Saquon Barkley might be this year's offensive player of the year, but at home, he's dad to his two little ones.

The Philadelphia Eagles running back and his fiancée Anna Congdon welcomed their first child, Jada, in 2018 after meeting in college at Penn State University. In 2022 their family grew again with the addition of Saquon Jr.

Barkley gushed about Congdon and their family ahead of the 2025 Super Bowl, telling PEOPLE that he owes much of his success to her.

"I can't be the athlete I am and have the success I have so in my career without the help of her," he says "She's been super helpful and always has my back, not only in football but throughout life there's a lot that goes on. But as we continue to grow and mature and go through life together, we continue getting closer and continue to get even better."

Barkley continues of their kids, "we just sit back and laugh sometimes when they're over there playing and just smile and think about where everything started."

Ahead of his first Super Bowl appearance on Sunday, Feb. 9 as the Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs, here's a look at some of his sweetest moments caught on camera with his little ones.
