Who Is Mecole Hardman Jr.’s Fiancée? All About Chariah Gordon

Mecole Hardman Jr. and Chariah Gordon are headed for the altar!

The couple announced their engagement in June 2024, shortly after welcoming their second child together. Hardman and Gordon are also parents to son Three, who arrived on Super Bowl Sunday in February 2023.

The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver and Gordon have been together since at least 2021 — and they've always been vocal about their love for each other on Instagram.

“I love the man you are/becoming ... Your heart & personality is like no other & watching you be a dad is by far the most sexiest thing I've seen you accomplish!” Gordon wrote on Instagram in honor of Hardman's birthday in March 2023.

While speaking to PEOPLE in November 2024, Gordon called Hardman her "best friend."

"I would have definitely chosen him in a million lifetimes — and I'm glad that I get to do this life thing with him," she added.

So, who is Mecole Hardman Jr.’s fiancée? Here’s everything to know about Chariah Gordon and her relationship with the NFL player.

She is the founder of a skincare brand

Gordon is the founder and owner of The GLO Collection, which started out with the goal of providing women with products that treat blemishes and acne.

“After two years of suffering from relentless breakouts, nothing raised my head higher than personally cracking the code to clear skin and independently finding my glo,” Gordon wrote on her site’s About Us page. “With breakouts and a life-transforming break up behind me - because yes, that happened too - I found freedom in emerging anew.”

Now, Gordon mainly sells clothes in her Glo Body collection and often models the items herself.

She has released music

Before she got her start in the skincare industry, Gordon worked at a career as a musician. She released her first song, Drownin, which was a collaboration with Fat Trel, on YouTube in March 2016. Then, she released her second song, Pressure, in January 2022.

In 2018 and 2019, Gordon performed at numerous venues between Dallas, Texas, and China. In a promotional video for her music, Gordon shared more about her passion for her work.

“When I perform, I compete — not against everyone else, but against myself,” she said. “I measure my growth by making sure each performance is better than the last.”

She and Hardman have been together since at least September 2021

Gordon first posted in a Chiefs jersey in September 2021, paired with the caption, “Game day ❤️💛 🏈….. i’m just promoting his s--- !!” leading her followers to think she was dating someone on the team.

Three months later, she posted in another Chiefs outfit, this time with Hardman’s last name on the back of her sweatshirt, confirming their relationship.

Hardman made their romance Instagram official in February 2022 when he posted a sweet picture of the couple lounging on a couch.

“Bonnie and Clyde! I got my ride or die ✌🏾❤️,” he wrote in the caption.

She and Hardman share two children

The couple’s first baby, son Three, came at a serendipitous time — the day of the Super Bowl on Feb. 12, 2023. Hardman tweeted, “OMG HER WATER BROKE," hours before his team was set to play.

A few months after their son's birth, Gordon posted a family photo on Instagram — introducing "3" to the world.

“Son, you were made with so much love! I'm extremely proud to be your mom,” she wrote. “Watching you grow daily is my favorite thing! Becoming a mom has truly showed me my strengths in being a woman & I wouldn't change a thing!!"

In 2024, Gordon and Hardman welcomed a baby girl. They have yet to share her name or details of her birth.

She is supportive of Hardman

Gordon has been by Hardman's side through his roller coaster of a career. She was supportive of his trade from the Kansas City Chiefs to the New York Jets in March 2023. However, a mere six months later, Hardman was traded back to the Chiefs.

In February 2024, Gordon, dressed head-to-toe in red, attended Super Bowl LVIII, where she watched the Chiefs defeat the San Francisco 49ers.

"Watching you get EVERYTHING you deserve! 3x SB Champ!!!!!!!! Congratulations baby!" she wrote on Instagram following the big game. "We never gave up & stayed faithful to God!!! NOW LOOK them tables always turn!!!"

Gordon is also supportive of Hardman's endeavors outside of football. In July 20203, she bought three billboards in Times Square to showcase ads for Hardman’s women’s fitness line, Jet Apparel.

“You know my style... I do anything to make you smile,” she wrote on Instagram.

She has some famous friends

In October 2023, Gordon made headlines when she posted a picture of her and Hardman posing with Kelce and Swift in what was seemingly Arrowhead Stadium in St. Louis, Miss., after the Chiefs game. In the photos, Swift and Kelce were spotted kissing for the first time, and in one photo, Gordon even posed individually with Swift.

The pictures came just one week after Hardman was traded back to the Chiefs, which Gordon celebrated on Instagram, writing, “AHH HAAAA 😎🥰 BACK!”

Kelce was also thrilled at Hardman’s return. “You can feel the energy from that guy being in the room,” he said after Hardman’s first game back, per FOX4. “I don’t know how he got out of New York, but I’m so glad that he’s with us … I’m just proud. I’m happy for the guy that he’s back with us, and I’m glad we got him for the rest of the year."

The foursome recreated the viral photo during the 2024 NFL season — and the internet went wild again.

"I didn't know that it was going to be that big," Gordon admitted to PEOPLE. "I didn't know that I was breaking the internet, so I was oblivious to all of that. It's just good times with good people that I care about."

She and Hardman announced their engagement in 2024

Hardman proposed to Gordon in 2024. He invited friends and family to witness the special moment, which took place in a private event space. The NFL player, who hired singer Jon B. to perform, got down on one knee in front of a giant sign that read, "Will you marry me?"
