DK Metcalf was born on December 14, 1997, in Oxford, Mississippi to parents Terrence and Tonya Metcalf. Like his son, Terrence also played college football for Ole Miss before enjoying seven years in the NFL.

The NFL rising star was raised alongside his four siblings by both parents. Metcalf has a deep attachment to his family and chose to play for Ole Miss to be close to them.

Even though Metcalf comes from a family with a strong NFL pedigree, the rookie has had to pave the way for himself with some eye-catching performances during the 2019 season.

Metcalf has undoubtedly put in the hard work to get to where he is right now, but he has also had the unwavering support of his family, especially his parents.

However, things took a different turn when he was spotted with IG model Cirena Wilson.

In October 2019, the footballer surprised his mom with an early birthday gift. While sharing the special moment on his Instagram, he wrote:

In the video, Tonya could be seen crying as she thanked her son for the birthday gift, a Chevrolet Suburban truck. The post drew several reactions from his fans, with many of them commending him for the sweet gesture.

Metcalf never shies away from flaunting his family on social media, but when it comes to his romantic life, the young NFL star has kept things away from the public's prying eyes.

However, things took a different turn when he was spotted with IG model Cirena Wilson. Not much is known about Wilson or the nature of their relationship, but the two had a great time together throughout Super Bowl weekend.

While there is no certainty regarding his current relationship status, one thing that cannot be disputed is Metcalf's commitment to his family. A close second is his love for football.
