Maurice Clarett Children: Meet His daughter Jayden Clarett
In 2006, Maurice Clarett and his then-girlfriend Ashley Evans welcomed their first child, Jayden Clarett. Regrettably, the time stamp following Jayden’s birth is far from fortuitous. She was just three weeks old when the police arrested her father on August 9, 2006.

Similarly, her parents were not at their best and were always at odds with one another. Furthermore, Jayden was only six when Maurice and Ashley got into an argument, which later turned physical.
Consequently, Maurice contacted the cops on his fiancee to not be cited for the probation violation. While the former football star did not press charges, he and his partner spent the first four months of 2013 in self-imposed separation.
Nonetheless, as the years have passed, Jayden’s parents have worked on their problems and are now focusing on providing the best for their daughter and son, who was born just recently. As a result, Maurice Clarett’s daughter is now pampered by her parents and lives a comfortable life with her sibling.
