When it comes to his love life, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has done an expert job at keeping it private from fans. But every now and then, the beloved talent and his long-term girlfriend, Jamie Taylor, have opened up about their love affair. In an immersive interview (via the Baltimore Ravens website), Jamie gushed about the lessons she learned while being with Jackson, specifically regarding the public eye. “He’s taught me how to handle criticism. I mean, I used to get mad when I’d read stuff. Then I’d look at him, and he’s just fine,” she explained. “He says, ‘Let me do the talking. You don’t have to say anything. Just show them.'”
While Jackson has been an enlightening force in Taylor’s life, she’s returned the favor by influencing him to make good decisions as well. Back in November 2022, following a Ravens game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Florida-born athlete responded to a disgruntled fan on X, formerly known as Twitter, with an NSFW tweet, per Sports Illustrated. It didn’t take long for Jackson to delete his colorful statement, a move he later said was inspired by Jamie. “My girlfriend was like, ‘I think you should delete it,’ and I was like, ‘Aight.’ So I did. That’s just what it was, that’s why I deleted it,” he explained to reporters during a press conference (via @jamisonhensley on X).
