Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson’s 8 Kids: All About the NFL Legend’s Sons and Daughters (Including a Junior Olympic Athlete!)

Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson has a small football squad of his own with his eight kids: Jicyra, Chad II, Chade’, Cha’iel, Savi, Florida, Serenity and a daughter whose name is not public.

His most recent addition to the family, Serenity, was born in January 2022. Johnson shares his youngest daughter with Selling Tampa star Sharelle Rosado, whom he was formerly engaged to. The couple announced their split in October 2024.

Although Johnson has several kids, he prides himself on being involved in their lives. “I’m so active with mine. You see me with mine all the time. All of ’em,” he said on Club Shay Shay in February 2023. “When we go somewhere we all go as one lil’ army.”

The summer prior, in July 2022, Johnson shared a picture on Instagram of himself with seven of his children. “Squad Goals … i have all ages available for any event or competition of your choice,” he jokingly captioned the photo.

Here’s everything to know about Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson’s kids, including Jicyra, Chad II, Chade’, Cha’iel, Savi, Florida and Serenity.

Jicyra Johnson, 27

Johnson welcomed his first daughter, Jicyra Johnson, in February 1998.

The former NFL star’s eldest daughter is a model and a realtor with Rosado’s firm, Allure Realty Miami. Jicyra lives between Los Angeles and Miami — she often posts about her latest adventures and stylish outfits on Instagram.

In honor of her 25th birthday in February 2023, Jicyra shared a photo of herself on the social media platform dressed in a black strapless gown with feathers, and her dad applauded her look.

“Hunny you would’ve been the only one on Noah’s Ark, Moses would’ve parted the Red Sea just for you,” Johnson commented. I know that’s Brazilian straight, makeup is blended to the Gods. 😍😍😍.”

A few months later, in September 2023, Jicyra reciprocated her father’s support by going with him and one of her sisters to celebrate his achievements with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Chad Johnson II, 23

Johnson welcomed his namesake, Chad Johnson II, in May 2002.

The former All-Pro player’s eldest son attended Arizona State University, where he studied global health and business. He also played football for the school and was a wide receiver like Johnson.

In August 2022, Chad Jr. said in an interview posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he still looks up to his dad’s football skills while also ribbing him about his age.

“I’m like, ‘Wow, he’s 50 and can still move like that?’ ” Chad Jr. said. “It be ya own kids calling you old,” Johnson quipped when he reposted the clip.

Chad Jr. also loves to spend time with his family and shared a since-deleted photo with his brothers from a family trip to Jamaica in July 2022. Johnson also posted a picture of the two on Instagram from the same trip and captioned it, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

Chade’ Kierra Johnson, 21

Johnson welcomed his daughter Chade’ Kierra Johnson in July 2003.

Chade’ is a makeup artist and has her own business, Chades Touch, in Prairie View, Texas, where she also attends Prairie View A&M, majoring in health.

While she gets busy practicing her artistry and studying for school, she’s still involved with her family. Johnson shared a video of Chade’ holding her younger sister Serenity on Instagram in December 2022. “Imagine having 85 of these gorgeous beings 🥰,” he wrote.

Johnson also gave Chade’ a nineteenth birthday shout-out on Instagram in July 2022. “Happy 19th Birthday to the diva of my 85 kids @chadekierra 🎊💔🎁🎈,” he captioned a video.

When she’s not posting about school, Chade’ shares her outfits.

Cha’iel Johnson, 20

Johnson welcomed his daughter Cha’iel Johnson in February 2005.

In 2017, the pair appeared on Big Star Little Star, where they answered questions about each other and tried to beat their opponents in various games.

Today, Cha’iel is an accomplished track star who has competed at the Junior Olympics and holds three AAU National Club records.

“When people think that the coolest thing about me is that I’m related to Chad Johnson, I don’t think that’s true,” she said in a snippet on Instagram. “I realized I was fast [at] my first track meet I ever ran when I was 8 years old.”

Cha’iel loves to race her dad as well as her siblings when they are together. Johnson shared a video in January 2023 of himself racing Cha’iel on the beach.

“I walked 12 miles uphill both ways to get to junior high school so it ain’t no way @babychaiel85 thought she’d beat me running even if we are on vacation i stay ready for smoke, watch me hit another the gear at the end as a friendly reminder for my other kids age ain’t nothing but a number 🤫,” he captioned it.

Now, Cha’iel has taken her talents to the University of Kentucky, running for their track team.

Savi Johnson, 15

Johnson welcomed his son Savi Johnson around 2010.

Like his dad, Savi also loves to play football: Johnson shared a video of him playing the sport on Instagram in November 2015. “Baby Savi getting jiggy,” he wrote.

Savi has also shared photos of his dad attending his football games in the past.

In January 2021, Savi gave his dad a birthday shout-out in a since-deleted Instagram, sharing pics of the two spending time together over the years, including painting.

“Happy Birthday DAD 🎉🎉@ochocinco the 🐐,” he wrote.

Johnson’s sixth child

In 2018, after a paternity suit was filed by Alexia Farquharson, Johnson confirmed he had fathered a seventh child, a daughter, according to court documents obtained by The Blast.

Florida “Kennedi” Evans Johnson, 10

Johnson and his then-girlfriend, Crystal Bates, welcomed their daughter, Florida “Kennedi” Evans Johnson, in June 2015.

When Kennedi was 5, the former NFL star shared in an Instagram video that she “looks just like your daddy.”

The father and daughter enjoy spending time together. Johnson posted a video on Instagram of Kennedi dressed up as Pennywise the clown for Halloween in October 2022.

She is also pretty fearless. Earlier that summer, in July 2022, Johnson shared a clip of Kennedi cliff jumping during a family vacation in Jamaica. “Baby Kennedi jumping off the cliff into the ocean 🌊,” he wrote. In another Instagram video from the trip, she led the family on a waterfall hike.

Her dad is usually along for the adventures. In April 2024, Johnson posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he was taking Kennedi rollerskating.

Serenity “Hurricane” Paula Johnson, 3

Johnson and his ex-fiancée Sharelle Rosado welcomed their daughter, Serenity “Hurricane” Paula Johnson, in January 2022.

The dad of eight shared the news of Serenity’s birth on Instagram with a photo of himself cutting the umbilical cord.

In August of that year, Johnson and Rosado exclusively told PEOPLE that they were expecting a daughter. “It was shocking. I think I was crying and laughing at the same time,” Rosado said. “I just can’t wait. It’s actually going by so fast.”

Johnson proudly shared on Instagram in July 2022 that Serenity, whose nickname is “French Fry,” was able to stand up on her own at 6 months old. The former football player also uploaded a video on Instagram in August 2022 of Serenity watching Cocomelon while standing at 7 months old.

A few months later, she assisted her dad with signing some autographs in Miami.
