Xavier Worthy, the Kansas City Chiefs’ rookie wide receiver, and his fiancée, U.S. track and field star Tia Jones, are kicking off an exciting new chapter in their lives.
Just days after a tough turn of events for Jones, who missed the chance to compete in the Paris Olympics due to an ACL injury, the couple celebrated a milestone by purchasing their first home together in Kansas.
Jones shared a heartwarming post on social media, standing beside Worthy in front of their new house, describing the experience as a wonderful moment of creating a stable foundation for their future together.
Finding Strength Through Adversity
For Tia Jones, 2024 has been a turbulent year.
Known for her speed and agility on the track, Jones was a top contender in hurdling events, and in February, she matched the indoor 60m hurdles world record of 7.67 seconds at the USATF Indoor Championships.
But her Olympic dreams were put on hold when she collided with crash pads during the same meet, resulting in a serious ACL injury.
Missing out on the Paris Olympics was a major blow, but Jones has remained resilient, focusing on recovery and her future.
Building a Life Together: A New Home
Worthy and Jones have chosen to turn their focus toward building a stable and loving environment as they plan their future.
The couple’s new Kansas home marks an important step toward establishing their life together.
The new residence represents not only a place to live but also a symbol of their commitment to one another and their dreams of starting a family.
A Power Couple in the Making
Xavier Worthy, fresh off his selection as the 28th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, has quickly made headlines for his blazing speed, including setting the fastest-ever 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine.
His 4.21-second run broke John Ross’ previous record, making Worthy a key asset for the Chiefs.
But he’s not the only athlete in the relationship.
Jones, who began her track career at an early age, made waves in 2013 by setting national and Junior Olympic records in the 100-meter and 200-meter hurdles.
In 2016, she set another milestone, running the 100-meter hurdles in 12.84 seconds—a world junior record for a 15-year-old.
Together, they are a powerhouse couple, supporting each other as they balance their professional athletic careers with their personal life.
Future Plans: House Tour and YouTube Channel
Beyond their respective sports careers, Worthy and Jones have connected with their fans through their shared Instagram account and YouTube channel.
Their followers can expect to see a home tour soon, as the couple has plans to showcase their new Kansas property online.
With a focus on transparency and authenticity, Worthy and Jones aim to give fans a glimpse into their lives as they embark on this next chapter.
A Foundation for the Future
Although Tia Jones’ Olympic dreams have been postponed, her future with Xavier Worthy is brighter than ever.
As they continue to grow both personally and professionally, their new home stands as a testament to their resilience and love.
