Dating a celebrity has its perks, but it also has its problems. This is something Chelsie Kyriss knows all too well. Kyriss’ relationship with NFL player, Antonio Brown, thrust her into the spotlight. Although there was a point in time when the couple could have been considered ‘goals’, recent events have killed those aspirations and the two have gone their separate ways.

Life with an NFL star probably didn’t seem like a possibility in Chelsie’s early years. Chelsie was born and raised in Ohio.

Most recently, she was living in Florida during her relationship with brown.
3. She dreamed of being a Model
Chelsie Kyriss has aspirations of becoming a successful model, and she attempted to break into the industry. Kyriss submitted her photo to ‘Explore Talent‘, a platform for models and actors to find work. Unfortunately, though, Kyriss’ modeling career never gained any traction.

Chelsie Kyriss is a mother of five children: Brooklyn, Kellen, Antonio Jr., Autonomy, and Apollo. Her oldest children, Brooklyn and Kellen are from a previous relationship although rumors have suggested that she doesn’t have a relationship with them. In a 2018 Instagram post, Brown accused Kyriss of neglecting her first two children in pursuit of a relationship with him, seemingly confirming their existence.
5. She’s Friends With Ashley Harlan
People who date professional athletes are part of an inner circle, and it’s common for them to form special bonds. Chelsie Kyriss was able to build a pretty strong friendship with Ashley Harlan, wife of Ben Roethlisberger, a former Antonio Brown’s teammate. The two women have been known to spend time together and have even set up play dates between their children.
6. Doesn’t Like The Spotlight
You may think that someone who enters into a relationship with a professional athlete probably enjoys all of the attention that comes along with it, but that doesn’t seem to be true for Chelsie Kyriss. Throughout their relationship, Kyriss has remained relatively lowkey. The only times she’s really been involved in any new stories were when she and Antonio were going through low points in their relationship.
7. She Met Brown Through A Mutual Friend
If you were looking for a romantic and exciting story, Chelsie Kyriss and Antonio Brown’s introduction wasn’t either of those things. The two simply met through a mutual friend and they hit it off instantly. Unfortunately, those happy and excited feelings didn’t seem to last too long.

Although the charges were dropped, Brown followed up a year later by reopening the case and accusing Kyriss of being an unfit mother.
9. She’s Been Laying Low on Social Media
