Tyreek Hill's Kids: All About the NFL Star's Sons and Daughters

Although many NFL fans call Tyreek Hill the "Cheetah," his kids simply know him as dad.

Over the years, the wide receiver has welcomed a daughter, Capri, with his wife Keeta Vaccaro, and three kids with his ex-fiancée Crystal Espinal: a son named Zev and twins. Hill has also allegedly fathered other children from previous relationships.

After his eldest son's broken arm resulted in a four-month investigation and no charges or suspension, Hill said that he was working to be a "better man" and "better father."

“I just feel like I’m truly blessed,” the NFL star said during a January 2020 press conference ahead of the Super Bowl, per USA Today. “Each and every day I get up I get a chance to play the game that I love, be around people who are loving and then I get a chance to be around my kids and be in their life. I feel like I’m truly blessed."

Here's everything to know about Tyreek Hill's children.

Hill shares one child with his wife Vaccaro — and allegedly several others from previous relationships

Hill and his wife Vaccaro — whom he married in November 2023 — welcomed their child, daughter Capri, on Nov. 25, 2024.

Before he married Vaccaro, Hill was engaged to Espinal, and together they welcomed son Zev. After they split, she welcomed twins and filed a paternity suit to prove that Hill was the father, according to The Kansas City Star. Since then, he has publicly shared his role as a "girl dad" on social media.

Hill has also faced several paternity suits from previous relationships over the years. Although the NFL star joked during an April 2024 episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game that he would need a "U-haul" to get all his kids somewhere, he has not confirmed how many children he has.

He has worked on finding the “balance” between football and fatherhood

During a 2023 episode on his podcast It Needed To Be Said, Hill opened up about not knowing how to "balance" football and fatherhood at the beginning of his time in the NFL.

"Earlier in my career bro, I'd come home and my kids would be like, 'Dad, it's play time, let's play, let's play, let's run around,' " he said. "I'm like, 'Bro, I'm tired. Your dad is tired.' Like I got to learn these plays and I gotta watch these films."

Although he didn't know how to split his energy at first, Hill said that once he got older, he was able to do it "a whole lot better."

"When I get home, I play with them, I go over homework with my son, I help him out in the yard with football drills and stuff like that," he said. "I'm able to balance it ... I'm just happier now."

Hill also talked about "the bigger picture" — that when he comes home, his kids just want their "regular father," not the NFL version of himself.

"My kids don't care about football, my kids don't care about Super Bowl, my kids don't care about none of that," he said. "They want their regular father to be Black Panther, or a chicken or a lion. That's what they say, 'Daddy, turn into a chicken,' and at that moment I'm that."

Hill loves Father’s Day

In June 2024, Hill told Zeal Talk Upstate that being a dad "means a lot" to him and shared why he loves Father's Day.

"I always tell my wife, 'Father's Day is the only day that I get,' " he said. "I don't get my birthday, I don't get Christmas, you know. But Father's Day hopefully will turn into, you know, a day all about me."

His kids “love” to go to his games

During his appearance on Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Hill shared that "it feels good" when his kids go to his games — which they also enjoy.

"All my kids love coming to the games," he said. However, Hill also opened up about the challenges that comes with their attendance.

"Sometimes it be so hard for me to mentally lock in 'cause I got daughters, too," he said. "They want to be daddy's girl and they want to be held and stuff like that, so sometimes its tough."

"I still got a job to do, but at the same time, though, I got to be a father to my kids," Hill continued.

In February 2020, his son even joined Hill on the podium while he was speaking to the press after winning Super Bowl LIV.

His children are athletic

A few of Hill's children might be following in his footsteps. During a 2023 It Needed To Be Said episode, he shared that two of his sons are "real good at football."

They may also share their dad's speed, which earned him the nickname "Cheetah" on the field.

"All my kids, they love to run, I don't know why. I don't know where they get that from," Hill joked on his podcast. "They just love to run around fast."

One of Hill's sons helped him get through a “rough patch”

While speaking to the media in January 2020, Hill discussed how Zev helped him through a "rough patch" when he was investigated over his son's broken arm and audio of an argument with Espinal in which he used threatening language and she accused him of child abuse.

“I was able to bounce through because of my faith and because of the people I had around me and my supporting cast," he said, per USA Today. “Having my son around me during those moments was the real thing I needed, like, 'Hey buddy, I’m always going to be there, I’m always going to be your father. I love you.' And he still tells me to this day, ‘Daddy, you’re my best friend no matter what.’ ”

Despite a history of domestic violence allegations from Espinal, local authorities did not charge Hill after a four-month investigation, and the NFL did not fine or suspend him.

During a May 2024 appearance on CTESPN, Hill additionally discussed how "the people around [him]" — including his kids — help him handle public scrutiny.

"I know who I am as a person, my kids know who I am as a person," he said. "I FaceTime my kids every two days ... as long as my kids know who I am and my wife know who I am at home, I'm cool."

His children frequently appear on his TikTok

When Hill isn't playing on the field, he is frequently sharing glimpses of his life on TikTok — including his role as a father. In January 2021, he shared a montage of videos of one of his daughters to Usher's "My Boo."

"My daughter is growing so fast ❤️," he captioned the post. "I love you baby #girldad."

He also shares occasional clips of him and one of his son's dancing goofily together. In March 2021, he posted a TikTok of him encouraging his son to dance, captioned, "Too much candy tonight."

More recently, Hill shared a video in July 2024 of them dancing together again and wrote that they "had to hop on this trend."
