Clearwater, Florida, Tyler Higbee, an American professional football tight end for the Los Angeles Rams, prefers to keep his personal life private.
His partner might have been shocked to find him injured against the Minnesota Vikings during Monday night’s Rams playoff game.
Highlights
- Tyler Higbee posted pictures with his potential wife and child on Valentine’s Day in 2024.
- He was previously in a relationship with Mollie Pajakowski while attending Western Kentucky University.
- He suffered a chest injury against the Minnesota Vikings during Monday night’s Rams playoff game.
Tyler Higbee was a sports athlete at East Lake High School, where he played baseball and football. He stood out in football as a wide receiver and was named MVP of his team.
Later, he committed to playing football for Western Kentucky Hilltoppers and was considered one of the best tight-end prospects in college football.
On December 14, 2015, he accepted an invitation to play in the 2016 Senior Bowl, but his representatives announced he couldn’t join the Senior Bowl due to a knee sprain.
The Los Angeles Rams selected him in the fourth round (110th overall) of the 2016 NFL draft and signed a four-year rookie contract worth $2.92 million on June 9, 2016.
During the 2021 season, he won his first Super Bowl LVI when the Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals.
Tyler Higbee’s Social Media Hinted His Partner And Kid
Netizens assumed the Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee was likely single after separating with Mollie Pajakowski.
However, he proved everyone wrong by posting pictures of himself with a beautiful lady and a kid on Valentine’s Day in 2024.
Tyler has captioned the picture,
“My forever Valentines.”
Although the tight end hasn’t revealed his personal life, those pictures said it all. He must be with his potential partner, holding their baby.
Their second slide shows a picture of them kissing, and the following three are pictures of his partner and baby. One of his fans mentioned her as his wife while replying to others’ comments.
Dude, these are pictures of his wife and child show a little classy plus I really don’t think you were on his mind when he got his chest crushed.

Moreover, others praised him for having a beautiful family and hoped for his speedy recovery from a chest injury during the playoff game.
He was previously in a relationship with Mollie Pajakowski while attending Western Kentucky University. She was from Indiana and played volleyball.
They were a powerful couple at the University, and everyone knew about their close bond.
Once, they were arrested in the Warren County Regional Jail for alcohol intoxication in a public place and allegedly assaulting a man outside a bar.
Tyler had punched Nawaf Alsaleh in the face, knocking him unconscious and causing his brain to hemorrhage outside of Tidballs in Bowling Green.
After they were released from jail, their relationship experienced ups and downs, eventually leading to their breakup.
Tyler Higbee Was Injured During Wild Card Round

Tyler was rushed to the hospital due to his chest injury and was immediately termed doubtful to return after his injury. He exited in the first half of the wild card game.
It was something with his chest.

I think he’s going to be OK. What does that mean in terms of his status moving forward? I don’t know.
Previously, Tyler nearly missed the entire regular season after suffering a torn ACL in last year’s Wild Card loss to the Detroit Lions.
He was having a breakout game but was not ready to perform due to his injury until Week 16.
Moreover, Tyler has six days to recover as the Rams face the Eagles on Sunday in Philadelphia. If he is out for an extended period, Colby Parkinson will presumably return to the top role.
He was a supporting cast pass-catcher with the most previous experience with Matthew Stafford and a trusted red-zone option during his brief regular season.
Although it’s reassuring to hear his health is not in jeopardy, ensuring his long-term safety is the most important outcome in this scenario.
