Isaiah Thomas’ Wife

The Cincinnati Bengals signed defensive end Isaiah Thomas in December 2024. In the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, he was selected by the Cleveland Browns with the 223rd overall pick. After graduating from Tulsa, Oklahoma's Memorial High School, in 2017, he played for the University of Oklahoma until 2021. In 2020 and 2021, he was selected twice to the All-Big 12 second team.

Following his draft selection, Thomas was cut by the Browns in August 2023 and re-signed to the practice squad. He signed a reserve/future contract in January 2024, but it was waived by August. In the same month, he joined the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad. In October 2024, he signed a contract with the Detroit Lions off the Bengals practice squad. After being waived in November, he re-signed to the practice squad, but in December, he was let go.

How many kids do Isaiah Thomas and Kelbi Thomas have?

Kelbi and Isiah have two kids: Ellecia and Aubri, as per Kelbi's Instagram.

According to the Cleveland Browns' Team Coverage, on August 22, 2022, Kelbi gave birth to Aubri as Thomas was vying for a spot on the Browns team. He had a pinch in his right hand during one-on-one exercises during practice, two days after the Jacksonville game and eight days before he was scheduled to go for Tulsa. X-rays showed a fracture, and the pain didn't go away as fast as he had hoped. He was forced to miss the second preseason game against the Eagles and the following week of practice, which affected the time he set aside to be with Kelbi when Aubri arrived.

After flying back from Tulsa, Thomas was allowed to return to the field, albeit losing additional useful practice rep opportunities. Since the injury didn't require surgery, he was able to continue playing by wearing a club—basically, a huge, protective ball of plaster—around his hand. Five days after Aubri's birth, he made a comeback in time to play in the third preseason game, leading the Browns' edge rushers with three tackles.
