Chris Jones is on the hunt for love. That’s if his recent confession about his love life is anything to go by.
The Kansas City Chiefs star split from his girlfriend of nearly a decade earlier this year as she accused him of ‘infidelity’.
However, it appears Jones is now ready to settle down as he shared a shocking admission about his love life.
During Chiefs training camp, the players were asked what was one thing on their bucket list that they haven’t completed yet, and Jones’s answer raised eyebrows.
‘I just wanna be loved. I just wanna be married,’ Jones said in a TikTok clip shared by the Chiefs’ official account.
His confession comes just four months after his former girlfriend accused him of cheating amid a seemingly messy split.

Sheawna Weathersby, who has been pictured alongside Taylor Swift at several Kansas City games in recent seasons, was in a relationship with the three-time Super Bowl-winning defensive tackle for nine years before parting ‘months ago,’ she said in March.
Earlier this weeks, fans began to speculate that Jones and Weathersby had split after he shared a loved-up photo with another mystery woman – only identified as Giselle – on his Instagram story before quickly deleting it.
Giselle also posted a snap of her and Chris enjoying what looked like a romantic meal before removing the post. The pair both appear to have since deactivated their Instagram accounts.
And amid confusion over the state of their relationship, Sheawna has confirmed she and the NFL player – who share two children in Christopher Jones II, six, and Carson Dakota, two – are no longer together after accusing him of cheating in an astonishing statement.
She wrote on her Instagram story: ‘I’m choosing to focus on the positive as I close this chapter on a 9-year relationship. Unfortunately, Chris’ infidelity with the woman he’s recently been pictured with, led to my decision to end our relationship months ago.
Jones’ ex went on to allege that the girl in question has a history of ‘harassment, stalking and disrespect’ towards her, even claiming she was forced to change her phone number as a result.
‘I’m proud to say I chose to prioritize my own wellbeing and healing journey,’ she added. ‘As I embark on this new chapter, I’m excited for the opportunities and growth that await me. I trust that God will transform the pain into something beautiful.’
Back in January, Jones suggested he and Weathersby were no longer together when he shared a meme on X that read: ‘I’m like 106% single’.

Sheawna, who has two kids with Jones, had dated the NFL player for close to a decade
When a fan replied telling him he is not single, the 30-year-old bluntly replied: ‘I am’.
He also shared a cryptic meme on the social-media platform in March, which read: ‘It’s okay to disappear to find yourself again.’
Jones wrote as the caption: ‘Sincerely,’ along with a snake emoji.
Chris and Sheawna had formed a close relationship with his Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce and Swift, who has dated the latter for close to two years, before splitting in recent months.
Travis and Taylor even sent the couple some surprise Christmas gifts at the end of last year.
Sheawna took to Instagram to gush over multiple wrapped gifts under her Christmas tree along with a card that read ‘Merry Christmas from Travis and Taylor.’
They appeared to send Kelce’s teammate and his partner a Santa gift bag and a rose-print wrapped box, as well as a rare Louis Vuitton 200 bottle of champagne bottled in Anchay, France.
‘So blessed & grateful this holiday season,’ Sheawna wrote as the caption. ‘Thank youuuu, Tay Tay!!!’
Sheawna has formed a close-knit friendship with Taylor, who has appeared on her Instagram account multiple times – including on November 29 when the Chiefs faced the Las Vegas Raiders and on October 8 during a match against the Minnesota Vikings.
