Floyd Mayweather Jr. has not only conquered the world of sports but has also established himself as a prominent figure in pop culture. Amidst his illustrious career and undeniable fame, Mayweather’s journey as a father deserves recognition.
While he is celebrated as an undefeated world champion in the boxing ring, Mayweather is also a recognized father figure to five children. From his strong commitment to providing for his family and ensuring their well-being to displaying the ins and outs of his notable boxing career, to dealing with his fair share of challenges and triumphs in guiding his children, Mayweather has certainly gone through the complexities of life in the public eye.
His parenting style, while perhaps influenced by his career in the ring, has also displayed a keen desire to give his children the space to make their own choices. And while he is known for his extravagant lifestyle, he has also instilled in his children the values of hard work, discipline and the importance of finding their own paths in life. Below, learn more about Mayweather’s family unit of five children.
Koraun Mayweather
Koraun Mayweather is the oldest biological child of Mayweather. Born on November 7, 1999, Koraun Mayweather attended West Ranch High School in California. Shortly after, he ventured into a music career and introduced his first single, “King Koraun – RCK$,” on May 31, 2018, which has accumulated almost 500,000 views. Some of his other notable works include “Pretty n Perfect,” “WHOA,” and “Going Up.” In 2020, he unveiled his debut album, A King’s Party. He actively engages with various social media platforms like his YouTube channel, known as “King Koraun,” which was established on December 5, 2017, and has garnered close to 4,000 subscribers. Additionally, his Instagram account, @kingkoraun, boasts more than 300,000 followers and he frequently shares pictures that showcase his lavish lifestyle.
Devion Cromwell
Floyd Mayweather chose to become the legal guardian of Devion Cromwell, Melissia Brim’s child from a previous relationship. Born in June 1996, Cromwell became a part of the Mayweather family alongside his other biological children. And though there is limited information accessible regarding his educational background, he primarily identifies as an entrepreneur on his Instagram profile, with an audience of around 20,000 followers. Devion is recognized for his frequent travels to exotic destinations worldwide, and he regularly shares photos from these locations on his Instagram account, @kingxcromwell.
Iyanna “Yaya” Mayweather
Iyanna “Yaya” Mayweather is the second of Mayweather’s children and was born on May 20, 2000. Information regarding her educational background remains undisclosed. However, there are reports suggesting that she finished high school at the age of fifteen but did not officially receive her diploma until three years later. Similar to Koraun, she also appears to have explored a career in music, having released a single called “Oh Okay” in 2018. The twenty-two-year-old, who is known by the stage name “Money Yaya,” gained significant attention last year when she pleaded guilty to the 2020 incident in which she stabbed one of YoungBoy’s ex-partners, Lapattra Lashai Jacobs. Moreover, Yaya has also ventured into the world of fashion, modeling and social media influencing while carving out her own influence in the world.
Zion Mayweather
Zion Mayweather, the third child of Mayweather, is known for maintaining a relatively low profile compared to his father’s flashy public persona. Born on March 3, 2001, to parents Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Josie Harris, Zion Mayweather, similar to Koraun, attended West Ranch High School in California. However, unlike his older brother and half-sister, Zion pursued a career in the fashion and design industry. He initiated his own clothing brand named “Philthy Rich Boys,” specializing in premium shorts, t-shirts and a variety of other apparel. On his sixteenth birthday, it is reported that he received a Mercedes valued at $78,000 as a gift from his father. Although little is known about his personal life, his decision to remain out of the spotlight may be seen as an attempt to preserve his privacy in a world that is always eager for a glimpse into the lives of celebrity children.
Jirah Mayweather
Jirah Mayweather is the youngest of Mayweather’s children and is the third child and sole daughter of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Josie Harris. She was born on June 20, 2003, and she, like her siblings, attended West Ranch High School. At the age of nineteen, Jirah appears to be actively engaged in content creation on YouTube and TikTok. Furthermore, she has gained recognition for regularly sharing lifestyle-related images on her Instagram account, @jirahmilan, which boasts a following of over 200,000 fans.
Growing up as the children of a sporting legend, the Mayweather family unit has had to grapple with the demands and pressures of life in the public eye. To varying degrees, they each have embraced or navigated around the media’s gaze, pressures, and conventional societal expectations. Each of the Mayweather children is unique in their pursuits, interests and ambitions, and their individual stories are still in the process of being written.
