NFL star Saquon Barkley has more to celebrate than just an upcoming Super Bowl appearance with the Philadelphia Eagles—he’s officially engaged!

Barkley revealed exclusively to PEOPLE that he recently proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Anna Congdon, with whom he shares two children.

“I can’t be the athlete I am and have the success I have in my career without the help of her,” Barkley said of Congdon. “She’s been super helpful and always has my back, not only in football but throughout life.”

The couple first met at Penn State University in 2017. A year later, they welcomed their first child, daughter Jada, in April 2018. Their family grew again in September 2022, when they had their son, Saquon Jr.

Barkley expressed gratitude for Congdon’s unwavering support, adding that their relationship has only grown stronger over the years.

“As we continue to grow and mature and go through life together, we continue getting closer and continue to get even better,” he said. “It’s a beautiful thing because we have two amazing children.”

Despite his demanding career, Barkley makes sure to cherish the little moments with his family.

“Now we got a 6-year-old who’s about to be seven, who knows it all already, and then our son who’s all into toys and trucks and cars,” he joked. “So we cherish all those moments.”

With an engagement, a Super Bowl on the horizon, and a growing family, 2025 is shaping up to be an amazing year for Saquon Barkley.
