Overview
- Catalina Mancera announced on Monday that her son, Makhai, was born on Thursday, June 11, 2026.
- Her Instagram post included photos of the newborn and a video showing the moment she told Kneeland she was pregnant, and one image shows the baby in a onesie bearing Kneeland’s No. 94.
- The Dallas Cowboys marked the news at mandatory minicamp and previously set up the Marshawn Kneeland Memorial Fund to provide financial and ongoing support for Mancera and the child.
- Kneeland died in early November 2025 from a self‑inflicted gunshot wound after a vehicle pursuit, and Frisco police said officers received reports he had expressed suicidal thoughts during the search.
- Makhai’s arrival has focused attention on Kneeland’s legacy, the team’s role in supporting his family, and broader conversations about mental health resources for players and their loved ones.
