A Heartbreaking Revelation a Year After the Football Star’s Passing

Nashville, TN – In a stunning and emotional revelation, the girlfriend of late Tennessee State University football player Chazan Page has come forward with a shocking truth—she was pregnant at the time of his tragic death and has now introduced their one-year-old child to the world. The news, coming over a year after Page’s passing in a hit-and-run accident, has left the sports community and his loved ones in both sorrow and amazement.

A Love Cut Short by Tragedy

Chazan Page, a promising young offensive center for the TSU Tigers, lost his life in a tragic accident on April 14, 2024, when he heroically pushed his girlfriend, Jayda Jernigan, out of harm’s way before being struck by a speeding vehicle. His selfless act was widely mourned, and the TSU community honored his legacy with tributes and memorials.

However, what no one knew at the time was that Jernigan was carrying a life-changing secret—she was already pregnant with Page’s child. Too consumed with grief and shock, she kept the pregnancy a private matter, dealing with the whirlwind of emotions that came with losing the love of her life while preparing to bring his child into the world.

The Emotional Journey of Jayda Jernigan

For the past year, Jernigan has navigated a complex path of mourning and motherhood. She chose to keep the news private, wanting to focus on carrying her baby safely into the world before making such an announcement. As she finally revealed the truth to Page’s family and the public, emotions ran high.

“I wanted to tell him,” she said through tears. “I wanted him to know he was going to be a father. But I never got the chance. And that will haunt me forever.”

Jernigan, now 22, described the bittersweet experience of bringing a new life into the world while mourning the loss of the man she loved. “Every milestone, every kick, every ultrasound—I wished he could be there. I wished he could hold my hand and see the miracle we created together.”

Chazan’s Family Reacts to the Unexpected News

Page’s family, who have been grieving his untimely passing, were stunned but overwhelmed with emotion upon meeting his son. His mother, Linda Page, expressed both heartbreak and joy. “We lost a part of our family that day, but now we have a piece of Chazan still here with us. It’s like a part of him lives on through this beautiful child.”

The family has pledged their full support to Jernigan and the child, already welcoming them into their home with open arms. “Chazan would have been an incredible father,” said his father, Richard Page. “And while he’s not here in person, his love and spirit will always guide his son.”

A Symbol of Hope Amidst Heartbreak

The revelation has sent shockwaves through the Tennessee State University community, where Page was a beloved student-athlete. His former teammates, coaches, and friends were astonished by the news but immediately showered Jernigan and the child with love and support.

“This is unbelievable,” said Coach Eddie George. “Chazan was not just a great player—he was a great man. Knowing that he has left behind a son gives us all a renewed sense of purpose. We will do everything we can to make sure that child knows how incredible his father was.”

Page’s former teammates echoed the sentiment, promising to step in as role models and uncles to the child. “We lost our brother, but we gained a nephew,” said former TSU linebacker Marcus Hill. “We’ll be here for him, just like Chazan was always there for us.”

A Future Shaped by Love and Legacy

With the revelation now public, Jernigan is determined to ensure that her child knows his father’s story, his heroism, and the love he had for his family. “I will tell my son every day how brave his father was,” she said. “He died saving my life, and I will dedicate my life to making sure his memory is never forgotten.”

As she spoke, she held her son close—a boy with his father’s eyes and a strong resemblance to the man whose life was cut tragically short. “He may not have met his father,” Jernigan said, “but I know Chazan is watching over him every step of the way.”

A Community United in Support

In the wake of this revelation, the Tennessee State University community and supporters across the country have rallied behind Jernigan and her child. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help support the young mother and her son, ensuring that the boy has access to education and opportunities that his father would have wanted for him.

“This child represents more than just a personal loss,” said a TSU alum. “He is a symbol of hope, resilience, and the continuation of Chazan’s legacy. We all have a responsibility to help him succeed.”

Remembering Chazan Page

Though his life was tragically cut short, Chazan Page’s legacy continues through his son, his family, and the countless people whose lives he touched. His story of bravery, love, and sacrifice remains an inspiration to all who knew him.

As the TSU football team prepares for the upcoming season, they plan to honor Page with a special jersey dedicated to his memory, ensuring that every player who steps onto the field carries his spirit with them.

Though gone, Chazan Page’s presence remains—through the love of his family, the loyalty of his teammates, and now, through the child he never got to meet but will forever watch over.
