Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is one of the best players in the NFL and wasted no time earning that respect.
In his rookie season in 2021, Chase set the NFL record for most receiving yards by a rookie in a game and in a season, earning himself second-team All-Pro honors and the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award, all while helping the Bengals make their first Super Bowl appearance in over three decades.
Since then, Chase has totaled nearly 3,700 receiving yards and 29 touchdowns on 264 catches. The former LSU Tiger — who won the Fred Biletnikoff Award while helping the Tigers become undefeated national champions in 2019 with his buddy Joe Burrow — has always been an X-factor and made his impact on the field well known.
But what of the two-time Pro Bowler's life off the field? Yes, he has endorsements with brands such as Nike and Gatorade. And he is active in the community, most notably when he made an appearance on ESPN's "My Wish" in 2023, partnering with Make-A-Wish to give Brixton Wood, a cancer warrior, an all-access experience at the Bengals' facility. But outside of all of that, what does Chase's love life look like?
Ja'Marr Chase Gets Restraining Order Against Ambar Nicole

Prior to anyone he may be dating now, Chase dated model Ambar Nicole. According to the Atlanta Black Star, he announced he got a restraining order against her after they had a one-night star in 2021. He claims she had been harassing him and his mother, Toeleah Chase, while also claiming she gave birth to a child who's father is Chase.
Unfortunately, the relationship between the two did not end well and has raised some off-field concerns for Chase, as Nicole has reportedly accused him of abuse and of being a "deadbeat" father. Chase has denied these accusations, and there has not been any proof of the accusations against him.
Ja'Marr Chase's Custody Battle Over Son, Ja'Marr Chase Jr.

Chase has a son who he clearly adores named Ja'Marr Chase Jr.
According to The Blast, Chase and the child's unnamed mother were engaged in a custody battle in August 2023 over their son. According to the reported details of her filing, she asked for full child support and claimed she had monthly expenses of more than $57,000.
Chase reportedly wrote that the woman gave birth to their son, who was born on Jan. 16, 2023 in Glendale, Calif., in California specifically for "the purpose of obtaining a higher child support award as the child support laws are more favorable in California than in Texas." He claims she lives in Texas.
Earlier this season in September, the NFL's TikTok account shared an adorable video of Chase greeting his son on the sideline.

It has been reported that Chase dated Jalyn Michelle, a 26-year-old YouTuber and well-known Instagram influencer. While there's been no confirmation of a relationship from either side, she's been spotted in Bengals gear and at games. We'll just have to wait for them to go Instagram official, I guess.
Chase is one of the best players in the NFL and one of the funnest players to watch. His electrifying play, whether it be a deep ball or a screen pass he takes 40 yards to the end zone, has eyes focused on him at all times as he dances in and out of the end zone.
On the other hand, his love life is much more private. Reports, rumors and speculation are all we know about who Chase is with and how those relationships are progressing. So for now, we will continue to focus on his elite play on the field while keeping an ear to the ground for any type of dating confirmation.
