Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice, 25, has made his relationship with rapper Rubi Rose, 28, official on Instagram just one month after his ex-girlfriend leveled domestic violence allegations against him.
Valentine’s Day Posts Spark Buzz
Rice and Rose celebrated Valentine’s Day by sharing affectionate photos and videos. The couple posed for a mirror selfie, exchanged a kiss, and rode a quad bike together. Rose, who boasts nearly five million Instagram followers, also showcased a pair of high-end shoes from Rice and a video of her gifting him a luxury bag.
Ex-Girlfriend’s Recent Allegations
The new posts come shortly after Dacoda Jones, mother of Rice’s two children, shared 14 images and a detailed statement on Instagram in early January. The photos revealed cuts, bruises, a damaged home, and torn clothing. Though Jones did not name Rice directly, the content pointed to abuse claims.
Jones wrote: “I’m so tired of keeping quiet. I’m so tired of protecting his image. I’ve been through too much in a span of 8 years and I’ve had ENOUGH! I’ve dealt with abuse for years… He’s very controlling, there’s been times he’s came to my new home broken my door, there’s been times when he would put his hands on me while I was pregnant even had the audacity to lock me outside all night in ten degree weather because he got caught cheating.”
She added details about destroyed belongings, repeated cheating, neglect of their children, and disputes over financial support and housing. Jones received backing from Chariah Gordon, partner of former Chiefs teammate Mecole Hardman, and Sheawna Weathersby, ex-girlfriend of Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones.
The Chiefs acknowledged the post, and the NFL launched an investigation the next day. Rice offered no public response. Jones removed the content within days.
Reports indicate Rice’s grandmother rejected the claims, stating Jones fabricated the story following a disagreement over apartment payments.
Rice’s Prior Legal Issues
In July 2025, Rice received a 30-day jail sentence and five years’ probation for his involvement in a May 2024 multi-vehicle crash on a Dallas highway. He raced a friend in a Lamborghini, fled the scene, and later pleaded guilty to felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing causing injury. He must pay victims $115,482 in medical costs.
Future with Chiefs
Despite the Chiefs’ 6-11 record last season and playoff miss, Rice remains key on his $6.5 million contract. He served a six-game suspension at the season’s start due to the crash and recovered from a prior ACL injury. Coach Andy Reid plans offseason adjustments, with Rice central to the team’s prospects.
