Who is Ja’Marr Chase’s girlfriend Deja Nicole Hiott? All about model-turned-influencer

NFL star Ja’Marr Chase has been linked to influencer and pilates instructor Deja Nicole Hiott since early 2025.

Hiott revealed the relationship on social media, posting several photos of herself with the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver on TikTok. Chase recently signed a contract extension that made him the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL. While the couple has kept their relationship mostly private, Hiott has shown support for Chase by attending Bengals games.

Influencer and Business Owner

Hiott began her career as a model in Los Angeles, California, before leaving the industry to focus on her own businesses, as she explained in a Q&A video on YouTube. In January 2020, she launched a skincare brand, DN Skin, with her sister. The brand, which has not posted on Instagram since 2023, offers cruelty-free, paraben-free, and vegan skincare products designed for radiant, clear skin.

Hiott has since built a career as an influencer, working with brands including FashionNova, Tordrobes, Lounge Apparel and John Geiger Co. She also works as a private pilates instructor, frequently posting instructional videos on Instagram.

Mother of Three

Hiott is a mother of three children. She welcomed her first son, Kalle, with Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant in March 2017. She later had two children with ex-husband Gerald Green — son Silas in September 2020 and daughter Giani in September 2022.

On Mother’s Day 2024, Hiott reflected on parenthood in an Instagram post, calling motherhood the most important and rewarding role of her life. “Everything, every decision, even when it’s hard is for these ones. The goal is to provide a peaceful happy fulfilling life for them. I’ve always wanted my own big family & I’m so blessed, truly,” she wrote. Chase also has a son from a previous relationship.

Shared Moments with Chase

Since making the relationship public, Hiott has posted several photos with Chase on TikTok, including three sets of mirror selfies captioned “Loml.” Months later, she shared pictures of the pair together at Paris Fashion Week with the caption: “Pisces 2 my Virgo.”

Support at Bengals Games

In September 2025, Hiott attended the Bengals’ first home game of the season, sharing the experience on TikTok. She wore an orange Bengals jersey with a white cheerleading skirt and dyed her hair orange for the occasion. The final clip of her post showed Chase getting into their car following his victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
