Regina Jackson, the mother, agent and business manager of Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, has made it no secret that she’s looking out for him on and off of the field.

During a Sunday appearance on the Mother’s Day edition of “The Pivot” podcast, Jackson opened up about Daniels’ dating life and explained why she is protecting the 24-year-old from from other women.

“The whole girls comment was made first of all two years [ago], when he was at LSU,” Jackson told co-hosts Ryan Clark and Fred Taylor, referring to a past interview during which she said her biggest fear was “them girls” trying to get to her son. “It was a question [I was] asked, ‘What is your biggest fear?’

“That should be every parents’ biggest fear… men and women… because you’re a public figure and your dollar amount is ᴀssociated with your name. So you never know who’s really there for you and who’s really against you.

“… The thing is, he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know and he knows football and he does it very well… but he doesn’t know the business world,” she said. “He doesn’t know the predators or the vultures that could be out there. So he feels very comfortable in knowing that not only am I educated and qualified to do it, I’m also his mom.”

Jackson explained she wants her son to date despite narratives she’s shielding him from it.

“I’m putting it on record. My son can date, he can live freely, make his own decisions,” she said. “However, with the relationship we have, he does value my opinion because when my kids were little, I did a lot for them and my kids saw that.

“… I worked too hard to allow anybody and at any moment to come in and just take it away. So I have a view of what I feel a good person is. But my son is 24, and he does have to go through things and he has to learn on his own. He’s a great kid, I’m thankful for him… He’s not like some of these other guys. He’s really to himself, a homebody… So I’m trying to work on his life after sports, because at some point it does end.”

Jackson is a certified agent and has dual Master’s degrees in hospital administration and in entrepreneurial business.

Jackson went on “The Pivot” to give the public an opportunity to “actually get to know who I am.”

She emphasized that she wants to be known as Regina Jackson, “and not always the mother of Jayden Daniels.”

“I had Jayden. Jayden didn’t have me,” she quipped of the reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Jackson went viral for seemingly hovering over Daniels on numerous occasions off of the field.

Many were convinced that she tagged along with Daniels on a date with an unnamed woman while in Miami for the Formula 1 races last weekend.

Last month, Jackson was spotted in the background of a video of Daniels dancing at the wedding of San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and his longtime partner Rochelle Searight.

In March, Jackson made waves online when she sat between him and USC Trojans women’s basketball star JuJu Watkins in the stands at the NCAA tournament.

Daniels discussed how his mother is protective over him.

“Nothing gets past my mama,” he said during an interview with Boardroom in December 2024. “She reads people, she doesn’t want to put people around me that she doesn’t feel will benefit me.”
