Former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson is mourning the loss of his daughter Maia.
On Monday night, Johnson announced the shocking death of Maia, 25. He tweeted, “Maia, as my first born child, has been the joy of my, and her Mother Shikiri’s, life. She came into our lives just as we were both coming of age as adults & has been a constant beloved presence for both of us. We are heartbroken & devastated by her loss.”
The cause of death has not been revealed.
During his four-year marriage to Shikiri Hightower, they also had son Keyshawn Johnson Jr., 22.
Shikiri has not commented on Maia’s death.
Johnson is now married to Jennifer Conrad, the mother of his younger children London, Shyla & Vance.
After retiring from football in 2016, Johnson became an ESPN analyst.
After hearing the sad news, ESPN released a statement, which read, "Our thoughts are with Keyshawn & his family as they deal with this unthinkable tragedy. He has the full support of his ESPN family."
Keyshawn's colleague Louis Riddick tweeted, "I am so very sorry Keshawn. That is devastating & heartbreaking to hear. From my family to yours...our deepest & most sincere condolences brother."
Jemele Hill added, "So very sorry for your loss."
Stephen A. Smith, who has reached out to Keyshawn, discussed Maia on ESPN’s "First Take."
