His injury will sideline him for longer than just Week 3, and he is likely to miss at least four games. This has thrust backfield running back Jordan Mason into the field.

While Jones is sidelined due to the injury, he is spending time with his family. And much of that family time revolves around his young son, who turned 5 in April 2026.

Aaron Jones And Crystal Molina Started Dating In 2018

While celebrating their first anniversary, the former Green Bay Packers running back shared two loved-up snaps of them in mid-2019.

In the caption, , “1 Year,12 months,52 weeks, 365 days, 8760 hours, 525600 minutes of your love makes it all worth it 1 year together a lifetime to go???”

During the 2019 NFL off-season, the couple went on a vacation to the Bahamas, which the running back shared on social media. On February 15, 2026, Jones posted a Valentine’s Day-related photo.

Furthermore, in the 2026 Instagram post, which has now been deleted, Aaron said, “We got that 24/7 365 type of love. We don’t switch up for one day.”

The pair welcomed their son, Aaron LaRae Jones Jr., on 18 April 2026. Aaron Jones’ son was born when the pandemic was at its peak.

In an interview with The Players’ Tribune, the NFL running back said that the first month after his son was born was very special. He added that, due to the quarantine, he and Crystal stayed in El Paso with the baby, taking precautions to keep him healthy and safe.”

It has now been five years since Aaron Jr. was born, and a lot has changed between Aaron and Crystal since then.

One thing remained unchanged, though. The NFL star continues to celebrate his son’s birthday with a party each year and shares the moments on social media.

For example, last year the doting father wrote, “God blessed us 4 years ago today! Happy Birthday Jr, we love you Big 4️⃣’s 🙏🏾🥳🎉❤️‍🔥,” along with a series of pictures from the birthday celebration.

Yet, we can’t help but notice the absence of Crystal Molina in the celebration.

Is Aaron Jones Still Dating Crystal Molina?

As explained above, the Jones-Molina couple were in a relationship for four years and shared sa on together.

Their relationship appeared stable until Jones deleted all photos of them from his social media. On the other hand, Molina also set her Instagram account to private.

These changes suggested the possibility that they had parted ways. Some reports claimed that the Vikings running back had announced the breakup on Instagram.

However, that post is no longer available. Several years have passed since the pair, who couldn’t stay apart for a long time, went quiet, and it seems likely that both have moved on.

Their separation appears to have been amicable, as it has not affected their co‑parenting or relationship with their child.
