Eric Reid and his spouse Jaid Reid married on July 2014. Eric and Jaid first met each other at Lousiana State University. 

Eric was a part of the college football team at LSU. Jaid graduated from there in 2013, the same year Eric was selected to play for the 49ers. That's when the couple decided to move to California together. 

Eric and Jaid met through a mutual friend but were dating different people at the time. As time passed, they met again at a friend's party, and their relationship grew. 

Who Is Jaid Reid?

Jaid Reid belongs to a biracial family in Cape Town. She moved to different places when she was young and has been to Portugal, New Orleans, and Chicago. 

She does not have many memories with her dad, as he left them when the kids were really young. Jaid and her younger sister were raised by their mom after settling in New Orleans, but after hurricane Katrina affected the place, they moved to Dallas, Texas. 

The LSU alumna is proud of being a first-generation child to attend the university, and her folks were proud of her too.

Jaid has mentioned that she is a private person and does not prefer to be in the limelight. She said her main priorities are supporting her husband and raising the kids with proper love and morals. 

Being an NFL player's wife, she has also received the opportunity to give back to the community. They are currently focusing on being positive role models to different people. 

Eric Reid and his spouse Jaid reside with their two daughters in California. Eric had his second child with Jaid Reid. 

Before he got together with Jaid, Eric was already a father to one kid, Lailani Reid. Jaid became a proud stepmother to Lailani and looks after her like her own daughter. 

Eric and Jaid welcomed their first child together on August 15, 2016, and the couple named her Knysna. Their daughter Lailani was also really happy to meet her younger sister. 

On Mother's Day in 2017, Eric posted a group picture and showed gratitude towards his partner for all the sacrifices and love that she has given. 

The family usually lives in Santa Clara, but during the football Off Season, they love the Bay Area, California. 

Reid is more of a family man, and while he was playing for the Panthers, his spouse and kids stayed in New Jersey. He admitted that it was really hard for him to stay away from his loved ones, and he is always looking forward to spending time with them during the holiday season.
