The Sanfrancisco 49ers legend Jerry Rice has set the gridiron on fire many times. The 3-time Super Bowl winner and 13-time Pro Bowler has made many records. While he worked hard on his football skills, he now enjoys his time with his loved ones. The legend is now celebrating a personal milestone.

On October 20, he posted a photo on Instagram. It had him celebrating the 6th marriage anniversary with his wife, Latisha Pelayo. “Amazing Six Years of Marriage Already! Happy Anniversary @tishie70 ❤️🍾🥂,” he wrote on the photo. Such a romantic photo blew away the fans, who started congratulating the couple on their special occasion.

Jerry Rice proposed to his longtime girlfriend Latisha Pelayo in March 2018 at a charity event in Tampa, Florida. “I have four words for this woman who has supported me for so many years, Latisha, will you marry me?” Rice said while standing on the stage.

The couple got married at a beautiful wedding in Napa Valley, California, in 2019. They said vows at Calistoga Ranch, beside a quiet and pretty lake. The ceremony was simple but full of love. Afterward, guests enjoyed drinks in the vineyard while a mariachi band played cheerful music. Dinner was served outside under the stars, with candles lighting up the tables and a jazz trio playing soft songs.

Later, everyone went inside the wine cave, where Jerry and Latisha cut their four-tier wedding cake and danced with family and friends. The cave smelled wonderful thanks to custom candles made by Latisha’s sister, who owns a candle company called Fiamma Candle.

A skin care specialist, she is often spotted alongside Jerry Rice in his personal and professional commitments. The best moments are of the couple posting photos while traveling or enjoying dinner on romantic dates.

Even though he has hung up his boots from the sport, he still has plenty of game left.

Jerry Rice makes a huge announcement

A couple of days back, on October 18, Rice shared a happy family moment. His son, Jerry Rice Jr., got engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Sarah Elizabeth. The couple got engaged on the beautiful Amalfi Coast in Italy, and Sarah shared pictures of the special moment on Instagram in September 2025.

“Congratulations to my son @jerryricejr_realestate and my future daughter-in-law @sarelizabethhh! Can’t wait for the wedding!” Jerry Rice posted on Instagram, congratulating his son while sharing their family photo. The fans also got emotional seeing the family and congratulated the legend. Clearly, it was a proud moment for Jerry, who doesn’t usually share much about his personal life online.

Jerry Rice has four children, Jaqui, Jerry Jr., Jada, and Brenden, each doing well in their own lives.

Jaqui Rice Gold co-founded the energy drink company G.O.A.T. Fuel in 2020 with her father and husband. Jerry is the Executive Chairman of the company. Jaqui married Trevion Gold in September 2021 and welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Trevion Jay Gold III, in September 2024, nicknamed JJ. Jerry happily celebrated becoming a grandfather, calling himself ‘Grandpa G.O.A.T.’ on Instagram.

Jerry Rice Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps in sports and played briefly in the NFL with the Washington Commanders in 2014 and then in the Canadian Football League until 2016. After football, Jerry Jr. started a career in real estate. He works in California with Compass Oldham Group and has built a successful career.

Jada, the youngest daughter, was born in 1996. She graduated from the University of San Francisco with a degree in psychology and works in insurance and finance in Texas. She often posts about her father, calling him a “true G.O.A.T. on and off the field.”

Brenden Rice, the youngest son, started at the University of Colorado before transferring to USC, where he became a top wide receiver. In 2024, the Los Angeles Chargers drafted him, where he continued the family football legacy, which released him early this year.

Even after retiring from football, Jerry’s story continues through the lives of his kids.
