It seems the pattern of former Instagram influencers getting pregnant by young athletes isn’t slowing down. Joy Chavis, who shares a child with rapper Future, recently revealed she’s expecting another baby, this time with Trayvon Diggs. Many, including Future himself, are critical of this development. The significant age difference between Joy and Trayvon is alarming to some, but what irks many more is the suspicion that she’s pursuing pregnancy solely to secure child support payments, as she did with Future and Bow Wow. Critics argue she’s exploiting these relationships for financial gain, especially considering she already has children with two wealthy celebrities, reportedly receiving substantial monthly support from them. Her daughter Sheay is with Bow Wow, while her son Hendrick is with Future.
Trayvon and Joy’s dating speculations began in 2022, when he was 23 and she was 34. Trayvon stirred the rumors by sharing a video of Joy on his Instagram stories adorned with heart eye emojis, celebrating her 34th birthday with a birthday cake. Just a month later, their relationship seemed all but confirmed when Joy showed up at a Cowboys game to cheer him on, proudly displaying a cup bearing Trayvon’s likeness. Their bond deepened in 2023 after the Cowboys’ playoff exit, as they were spotted vacationing together. Pictures surfaced of them enjoying breakfast, horseback riding, and simply relishing each other’s company. Joy certainly knows how to gravitate towards success.
In September, Trayvon sustained an ACL injury in his left knee during practice, casting a shadow over his season. Prompt surgery in October aimed to repair the tear, with Joy offering unwavering support throughout his recovery. Trayvon reassured fans by sharing a video of his hospital visit, confirming the success of the surgery. Subsequently, they publicly embraced their relationship, culminating in Trayvon’s lavish Christmas gift—a Rolls-Royce surprise for Joy, joyfully showcased on her Instagram story with the caption “Christmas came early this year.” Their affectionate outings continued, including a courtside appearance at a Lakers vs. Mavericks game followed by a cozy dinner date.
Jumping ahead to a few days back, Joy ignited a whirlwind across the internet with her revelation: she’s expecting Trayvon’s fourth child. While this will be Trayvon’s inaugural experience as a father with Joy, he already has three offspring from previous relationships. Joy proudly displayed her baby bump in a bikini, leaving little mystery about the identity of the father, especially given her enduring relationship with Trayvon.
Responses varied widely. Some congratulated Joy, like one individual who remarked, “Three kids by three different men and all three are millionaires, you go girl.” However, others voiced disapproval, alleging Joy of taking advantage of Trayvon, who is more than 10 years her junior. For perspective, when Trayvon was just 10, Joy was already in her early twenties. To some observers, it appeared she only allowed him to forego protection and impregnate her because of his financial status, nothing more.
Another individual remarked, “Conceiving children with multiple partners or wealthy individuals remains distasteful. Let’s reintroduce a sense of shame, please.” Some even drew parallels between her situation and that of Drea. Just recently, Drea faced severe criticism upon announcing her pregnancy with Jaylen Green, who, at 21, is 18 years her junior. Adding to the shock, Jaylen happens to be the same age as Drea’s son, Nico. The irony is palpable.
But the plot thickens with Joy’s pregnancy revelation, igniting further speculation on what Future, the father of her child, might have to say about it. Particularly intriguing is an unearthed audio clip from 2021 where Future publicly disparaged Joy, claiming he never harbored genuine affection for her during their relationship. According to Future, his sentiments never surpassed mere friendship, and love was never in the equation. The audio surfaced on social media via Britney, another of Future’s former partners, following her Instagram account’s deletion.
“Looking at her isn’t like looking at you. Joy and I have always been tight, like really tight. We’ve always had this easy vibe, you know? We could still hang like that today. But it’s not like I’m in love with her or anything. Never have been. She knows that. I’ve never said those words to her. Never told her ‘I love you.’ But we had something good, you know? It’s not the kind of love I feel now.”
As for the whole Joy-Trayvon situation, Future hasn’t spoken out publicly yet. But word is, he’s not surprised about her pregnancy. He kinda sees her as someone who’s always been wild. It’s just her style. And Trayvon? Well, he didn’t really react to the baby news directly. But he did get into it with Cameron and Mace after they called him out for getting involved with someone else’s ex. They think he’s too young to be dealing with all these kids and baby mamas.
“I’ve never really been a fan of leftovers. Thanksgiving on a Sunday? Nah, not my thing. You know what I mean? It’s just not my vibe. I’m not into it, man. Especially when people start speculating about who’s dating who in the celebrity world. I respect opinions, but when it comes to judging based on who’s with who, it’s just not for me.
But Trayvon wasn’t having any of it. He wasn’t about to let them judge him for his age or his success. He fired back at them for getting all up in his business when he’s younger and more successful than they are.”
‘You’re fond of 50 Cent mentioning me on your platform. Get off my case. I was just a kid when you were making music. There’s no way you should be talking about me now.’
So, as you can see, Trayvon is really ready to confront anyone who has something to say about him and his child’s mother. If I were Future, I’d think twice before voicing any opinions because Trayvon doesn’t seem to take criticism lightly.
As expected, everyone has chimed in with their opinions on this drama, and they haven’t held back. One person pointed out, ‘These guys have access to the whole world, yet they keep dealing with the same small group of women. To all you rappers, athletes, and entertainers, there are nearly 8 billion people on this planet, with countless women. Broaden your horizons.’ Another commenter quipped, ‘Diggs was just 10 when Joy was already living an adult life. Making age jokes when you’re already the punchline? Classic.’
But now, I want to hear from you. What’s your take on Future criticizing Joy for having a child with a 25-year-old? And do you think Trayvon made a mistake by choosing Joy? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and don’t forget to check out this other juicy video.’
