Who is Jawaan Taylor’s girlfriend Jekalyn Carr? All about Chiefs OL’s personal life

When he was playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Jawaan Taylor was one of the finest in the league at shielding his passer. Since his time in college, he has made a name for himself as one of the top offensive tackles in the nation. Now with the Kansas City Chiefs, he will work to help them retain their Lombardi Trophy.

In the opening game of the 2023 NFL regular season, which the Chiefs lost to the Detroit Lions 21-20, Taylor made his competitive debut. Following his performance in that game, Taylor gained public attention, and many are now curious about his personal life.

On that note, here's a look at Jawaan Taylor's relationship with his girlfriend Jekalyn Carr:

Jekalyn was raised by her parents, Allen and Jennifer Carr. They also raised two other kids: Allen Lindsey Jr., and Allundria Carr.

When Jekalyn was five, she started helping out in a neighborhood church choir and picked up singing, and she became the primary chorister at the local church.

At 13, the now 26-year-old, was already in demand as a speaker. In 2012, she switched from talking to singing with the release of her debut single, "Greater Is Coming." In 2011, she had already achieved her first Stellar Award.

Carr's experiences performing evangelical music helped her develop her talent. The singer was the first gospel performer to be admitted into the Women's Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2021. In 2022, Joe Biden, the president of the United States, presented her with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Carr has been nominated for five Grammys and was also considered for the award for Best Gospel Album last year.
