WATCH: Saquon Barkley shares heartwarming moment with family on sidelines ahead of Cowboys clash

Just moments before the clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, Saquon Barkley melted hearts. He, dressed in his Eagles’ green and white uniform, shared an intimate moment with his girlfriend, Anna Congdon, on the sidelines at Lincoln Financial Field. Alongside present were their daughter, Jada Clare Barkley, and son, Saquon Barkley Jr.

NFL’s Instagram account shared the special moment.

"The little handshake with his daughter," read the caption of the post, which paired with an overlay text on the clip, reading “SAQUON WITH HIS FAMILY.”

Barkley joined the Eagles in a blockbuster trade earlier this year.

In an interview with People magazine, Barkley talked about fatherhood and dubbed his son a "beautiful baby."

He added:

"He lights up the room. Amazing smile."

While addressing his daughter, Jada, who was born two days before the New York Giants drafted Barkley, he said:

"Jada is being an amazing big sister."

The Eagles star continued and addressed his girlfriend.

"Anna, obviously an amazing mom. We've got a beautiful little family."

Anna Congdon pushed long-time boyfriend Saquon Barkley to finish his academic degree

Seven years ago, after Penn State's Fiesta Bowl victory, the Eagles RB Saquon Barkley opted for the 2018 NFL draft and opted out of his senior year. However, five years later, his girlfriend, Anna Congdon, pushed him to finish what he had started.

"Everyone pushed me," he told People. "My parents pushed me to accomplish it, Anna pushed me to accomplish it and I was happy to get it done."

For Barkley, the decision to graduate was about more than personal satisfaction. As a father of two, Barkley saw his achievement as a chance to set an example for his children, Jada and Saquon Jr., as well as his siblings.

"I want my kids to be goal setters and whatever they want to accomplish, they can do it if they put their mind to it," he said. "I would love for them to one day say, 'I want to accomplish this and actually see it come to fruition.'"

Anna Congdon and Saquon Barkley have been together since their college days at Penn State.
