The Kansas City Chiefs running back, Clyde Edwards-Helaire got on his knees in front of everyone for the love of his life, JoJo O’Conner. Ever since then, everyone has been asking them the same question; when are they getting married? It’s already been more than a year since their engagement but there has been no wedding news yet.
Let’s find out details about his soon-to-be-wife in this article.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire Is Engaged To His Girlfriend, JoJo O’Conner
Edwards proposed to his girlfriend, JoJo in June 2023 after dating for a couple of years. The adorable couple got engaged a few months after they bought a new house. Clyde got on his knees at their housewarming party and asked her to marry him in front of all the guests. Of course, JoJo said yes immediately.
Initially, Clyde had planned to propose in front of a romantic backdrop but ended up spontaneously giving her a ring inside their house. The newly engaged couple later recreated the moment again in front of the background.
O’Conner took to her Instagram to share the big news with a caption, “Started off celebrating our new home. Ended a fiancé. My love, forever & ever. We utilized the backup option after.”

The beautiful lovebirds made their relationship public in 2022 when JoJo posted pictures with her partner from their romantic evening date on the beach. Ever since then, O’Conner has shared glimpses of their love life on her Instagram, flaunting their deep love for each other.
However, her partner, Clyde, seemed a bit late to announce his girlfriend on Instagram. He only posted their first picture together in May 2023.
Over this period, the duo has already gone on several trips together, celebrating holidays and other special occasions. They went to the Turks and Caicos Islands back when they first started dating. O’Conner documented her trip and even had a separate highlight on her Instagram for her boyfriend. Besides going on vacations, these two have celebrated Christmas together.

Besides, she did a project on Cultural preservation and indigenous social entrepreneurship associated with her university.
JoJo Rarely Misses Her Boyfriend’s Games
She has constantly shown her immense support for her partner Edwards and his games. She is always on the first row to watch her lover playing and is always the first person the player greets after the match.
JoJo was there when the Chiefs won the ‘Super Bowl LVII,’ being her boyfriend’s biggest supporter. Even when the running back got injured, she was the one who nursed him back to good.
When Are Clyde Edwards-Helaire and O’Conner Getting Married?
No official sources have confirmed their marriage date yet nor has there been news of them getting secretly married. Clyde and JoJo have been engaged for over a year but it doesn’t look like there will be wedding bells any time soon. Both of them are in their early 20s and are enjoying their life to the fullest.
Clyde Broke Up With His College Sweetheart, Desiree Jones
Before JoJo, Clyde was in a relationship with college sweetheart, Desiree Jones. The natives of Baton Rouge met each other when they were attending Louisiana State University. At the time, Clyde played football while Jones was studying Child and Family Studies there. They started going out on September 9, 2013.
Their relationship lasted for a few years before calling it quits. Ever since their split, the former couple has deleted their pictures from their social media and neither of them is following each other.

At present, Desiree is a licensed Esthetician.
