The goal of Tyreek Hill’s offseason was to recover in peace. Rather, it has become a full-on balancing act between soul-searching, scandals, and surgeries. Hill endured two operations after tearing a wrist ligament in 2024, and he continues to wear a cast far into May. However, what came after the injury may have been the heavier blow off the field. Hill’s wife, Keeta Vaccaro, filed for divorce in early March, just days after police were called to their Florida estate after a domestic argument. The situation quickly became chaotic, with court documents indicating that their marriage had been “irretrievably broken down,” viral balcony recordings, and Instagram photographs of their wedding being taken down.
But the Cheetah isn’t one to hide—not from cameras or chaos. Despite everything going on around him, Hill managed to find time this Mother’s Day weekend to demonstrate who truly grounds him.
Hill posted a touching Instagram post on Tuesday, captioned, “Mother’s Day weekend was funlove you mom … Stay for the last photo.” The post screamed: Cheetah vibes. Raw, casual, and heartfelt. It included photos of him laughing with his father, Derrick Shaw, and mother, Anesha Sanchez. One particularly noteworthy photo showed Hill clutching a fresh fish as if it were a prize from a victory. In a clever tribute to his love-hate relationship with the spotlight, he included Lady Gaga’s ‘Paparazzi’ as the soundtrack. However, this was not about making fun of the tabloids. With those who know the cheetah before the publicity, the catches, and the scandals. It was a unique and grounding moment.
Tyreek Hill also posted a clip on Snapchat, captioned, “Mother’s Day Shopping Spree (Gone wrong).” In the video, he walks up to his mother and asks, “Alright Ma, so I’ve come to the conclusion to say you can go shopping anywhere you want to since it’s Mother’s Day weekend, where do you wanna shop?” And then, in the most goofy manner, he closes his eyes and prays, “Please say target.” But his mom had better plans, “I wanna go to the mall with Gucci, Michael Kors, Coach.” And her response makes Hill scream, “Nooooooo! You had one chance.”
Hill’s path from Coffee High School to NFL fame wasn’t a one-off event. His rise has been supported by his parents, Derrick and Anesha, both of whom were athletes in the past. Derrick, who used to play basketball and run hurdles at Life University. And Anesha, a former track and field athlete, taught not only speed but also resilience. Anesha is also a key player in the Hill family foundation, which supports programs for children’s wellness and education.
Hill has already made a big deal out of showcasing his parents. A popular YouTube video posted by Hill a year ago shows him giving his dad a Chrysler 300 and his mother a Tesla Model X after he signed his huge $120 million contract with the Dolphins. “Today is just a day I get a chance to do what every kid dreams of doing,” Hill said. That gesture was more than just an expensive gift — it was loyalty repaid in horsepower.
From family photos to franchise fallout: Tyreek Hill’s offseason rollercoaster takes a public turn
So, you want to know how one of the NFL’s most dynamic playmakers reacts to swirling headlines, injury, and marriage drama? If you’re Tyreek Hill, you put on a wrist cast and grab a camera at five in the morning to begin your fishing day. Hill recently posted an impromptu vlog with a fishing rod and a confession. Standing on a California dock wearing an all-black Adidas outfit, he says, “It’s about to be one of those typical Tyreek Hill days… But today, I’m gonna allow you guys all the access… So, I just hope the Dolphins don’t see this. Sorry Mike. Sorry Cal. Sorry Dave. Sorry Drew. And the guy who pays the bills, sorry, Mr. Ross.”
And then he went on to post more clips of his “Typical Tyreek Hill day.” While getting ready for an eight-hour jet ski (“Sea-Doo”) trip to Catalina Island, Hill made an appearance in a dive suit and joked about growing swole. All the while, his wrist was still recovering. The day was part getaway, part chaos, and full of Cheetah. But Hill’s remarks were more than just filler, even with the humor. Because there is internal conflict at the Dolphins’ headquarters. Teams have floated his name in trade discussions, and the Pro Bowl rejection fueled the flames. Plus, the 2024 stat line of 81 receptions and 959 yards, a clear decline compared to his typical explosive stats.
So, top speeds and touchdowns have not been Tyreek Hill’s offseason focus. It has been more like staying afloat — legally, physically, and emotionally. With divorce filings, therapy reports, and fishing trips, the noise around Hill is deafening. But as usual, he continues to run through it all.
