Josh Jacobs Announces Life-Changing News — “Our Little Packer Is on the Way”

 

 Posted February 23, 2026


Green Bay – Just days after the heartbreaking Super Bowl LX loss to Seattle, Josh Jacobs has given Packers fans something powerful to celebrate.

In an emotional social media post early this morning, the Packers running back shared an ultrasound image along with the caption:

“Blessed beyond measure. Ash and I are excited to share that we’re expecting our first little Packer. #GoPackGo.”

The announcement comes at a dramatic moment in his life. On Sunday night, Jacobs stood on the sport’s biggest stage, powering Green Bay in Super Bowl LX before falling 29–13. Despite the loss, the veteran running back rushed for over 100 yards and a touchdown, proving his value among the NFL’s elite backs.

Now, just 48 hours later, he is preparing for an even bigger role — fatherhood.

A Love Story Years in the Making Jacobs’ relationship with his girlfriend, Ash Kash (also known as Ash Kaashh), is one of the more talked-about romances in recent NFL circles.

Their journey began around 2021 when they first connected, keeping things low-key for years. Jacobs has emphasized that he’s rarely gone public with relationships before, making their recent “soft launch” — a beach video holding hands — a big step.

The pair have been spotted together on vacations, with Jacobs crediting her for treating him well, gifting him thoughtful items, and supporting his lifestyle. In early 2026 interviews, when asked about future plans like marriage, Jacobs responded with “Time will tell,” hinting at a serious commitment while noting how private he’s been until now.

They’ve built a strong bond away from the spotlight, with Ash Kash — a popular social media influencer and OnlyFans model — standing by him through his transition to the Packers and a standout career resurgence.

From Super Bowl Stage to Fatherhood Now living in Green Bay, Jacobs just completed a key season, helping lead the Packers to a deep playoff run and a Super Bowl appearance in February 2026.

Ash Kash has continued growing her own presence online, sharing glimpses of their life together while supporting Jacobs’ demanding NFL schedule.

Jacobs has always kept his personal life guarded, especially after overcoming a challenging upbringing — from homelessness as a teen with his father Marty raising him and his siblings — to becoming a Pro Bowl running back. He already has a son, Braxton, from an earlier relationship, but this marks the first child with Ash.

He once spoke about finding stability and peace in his life off the field, and now, even after the sting of a Super Bowl defeat, Jacobs and Ash are stepping into a new chapter together.

The Packers fell short of a Lombardi Trophy this week.

But for Josh Jacobs, the future just got a lot bigger — and a lot more meaningful.

Patriots Offensive Superstar Stefon Diggs Confirms Departure After Pay-Cut Request Rejected — Reason Behind Fans’ Anger Over “Betrayal” Revealed
FOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts — A short yet emotional chapter between the New England Patriots and offensive star Stefon Diggs is coming to an end. After just one season in New England, Diggs has confirmed that he will leave the team when the new NFL league year begins, closing a relationship that once carried high expectations for both sides. According to multiple sources within the league, the Patriots have informed Diggs that his contract will be terminated next week. The decision stems from salary-cap pressure after the team recently returned to the Super Bowl. The front office was forced to make difficult choices in order to maintain financial flexibility ahead of free agency. Before reaching the final decision, the Patriots proposed that Diggs restructure his contract in order to reduce the salary-cap burden. Had he accepted, he could have remained the centerpiece of New England’s offense. But the 32-year-old star declined the offer, forcing the team to clear approximately $16.8 million in cap space by releasing him. During the 2025 season, Diggs still proved his value. He became the most reliable receiving target for young quarterback Drake Maye, recording 85 receptions, 1,013 yards, and four touchdowns. Those contributions helped the Patriots return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2019. What makes the situation more controversial is the context before Diggs arrived in New England. Prior to joining the Patriots, he had already been released by three different teams within four years, leading many around the league to question his long-term future in the NFL. Despite that reputation, the Patriots still gave him a new opportunity with a three-year contract worth roughly $69 million. Because of that history, the reaction from the Patriots fan base has been intense. A portion of supporters believe Diggs turned his back on the very team that helped revive his career. On social media, many fans criticized his decision as a lack of loyalty to the organization that placed its trust in him. Nevertheless, the situation also reflects the harsh business reality of the NFL. Diggs now enters free agency and is expected to attract interest from several teams looking for a veteran No. 1 wide receiver. Meanwhile, the Patriots must search for a new offensive weapon for the 2026 season after losing the leader of their receiving corps.
