The Eagles star, 32, will be cheered on against San Francisco 49ers in the NFL playoffs by his adoring wife Jennifer.
Slay is one of the league’s most dominant corners and has been ever-present during the Eagles’ 13-3 2022 season.
He was drafted in the second round of the 2013 Draft by Detroit Lions after excelling in college for Mississippi State.
Slay met his future wife Jennifer, 31, in 2015, when she was in her senior year at Southwestern Oklahoma State University.
A native of Clinton, Oklahoma, Jennifer was a Division 2 basketball star during her time at SOSU.
She graduated from Clinton High School in 2012 and went on to play as a guard for the Bulldogs throughout college.
Jennifer – under her maiden name Williams – saw plenty of game time during her two years with the program.
She ended her time with the Bulldogs having racked up 491 points, 121 rebounds and 17 steals across 51 games.
Jennifer left basketball after becoming a mother at 18, initially bonding with Darius over their struggles on both being teen parents.
While a third said: “You already know! And Philly have your backs!”
The Eagles take on the 49ers in the NFC Championship game on Sunday, January 29.
