How did Crystal Molina and Aaron Jones meet?

Their love story started when the couple was attending UTEP. Believe it or not, at some point, Aaron Jones wanted to date Demi Lovato, but something better happened to him during his UTEP days, and he found a life partner instead. In February 2019, the couple made it official, and Jones posted a selfie with Molina and made things official.

“We got that 24/7 365 type of love. We don’t switch up for one day,” wrote Jones in an Instagram post. Reportedly, Jones was a senior by 4 years when the duo met. The exact timeline of their relationship is not clear. However, if it helps, Jones attended UTEP from 2013 to 2016. Three years later, the couple made it official. However, even bigger news came shortly after.

The couple announced that they were expecting a baby in 2020, and that moment changed Jones forever. On January 7, 2020, Jones announced on Instagram that he is expecting a “mini me” to run around him very soon. The post that showed Jones kissing Molina’s baby bump also had a heartfelt caption attached to it.

“Words can’t describe how excited I am to become a father. To have a little mini me running around. Thank you Crystal for all your sacrifices. I know it’s not easy with me not always being available right now but just know I am grateful for you,” Jones wrote on Instagram.

Later, the couple welcomed Aaron LaRae Jones Jr. into their lives. He was born when the pandemic was at its peak, so it was an adjustment curve for the couple. “The first month or so after he was born was so good. With the quarantine and everything, Crystal and I just stayed with him here in El Paso, making sure we watched where we were going so we wouldn’t bring anything back to harm our little baby, making sure that he stayed healthy and strong,” Jones shared on The Players Tribune.

What does Crystal Molina do for a living?

Crystal Molina is a registered nurse in the emergency room, and her job shows her commitment to helping others. Judging from her social media bios and trusted sources, she was employed at the Del Sol Medical Center in El Paso. 

There is little information about her current work, especially after Aaron’s move to the Minnesota Vikings; her profession is most likely reformed so as to reconcile family life with his profession. The fact that she was trained as a nurse not only shows her personal commitment but also serves as a safe and protective environment for their son.

Do Aaron Jones And Crystal Molina Have Children?

In 2020, the first child of Aaron and Crystal was born, named Aaron LaRae Jones Jr.  “Happy Birthday to my young King 👑 dada loves you JR♥️ you make me want to be better everyday for you🙏🏾this just the start the world is yours and I want you to always remember that 🤞🏾,” Aaron wrote celebrating his son’s first birthday. During an interview, Jones stated that they were in a one-month quarantine in El Paso to keep their baby safe and healthy. Aaron Jr. is nothing but a growing toddler; most of the time, he is a part of the couple’s social media scenes, although they share very little of his life to protect his upbringing.

What Are Crystal Molina’s Social Media Handles?

Crystal Molina is active on social media, where she connects with fans and shares glimpses of her life. She can be found on X (formerly Twitter) under the handle @CrystalMolina_, and she also has a presence on Facebook as Crystal Molina.

While Aaron shines on the field, Crystal stands by him with strength and grace. Together, they’ve faced the ups and downs of parenthood and life in the public eye, earning admiration from fans for their authenticity. As Aaron focuses on his NFL career, Crystal provides steady support for their family, proving that true love exists both in and out of the spotlight.
