Online influencer Lyss Okada has announced the birth of her daughter, sharing joyful images on Instagram just weeks after publicly alleging a difficult split with her former partner, Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Fred Johnson.
The timing of the announcement has drawn renewed attention to the couple’s strained history and the claims Okada made earlier this year.
Okada revealed her baby girl’s name as Akira Jade in a Sunday post, accompanied by a series of photos showing her cradling the newborn.

In her Instagram caption, Okada kept things simple, letting the images carry the moment.
The post quickly circulated across social platforms, where followers reacted to the news of her becoming a mother.
She later extended the announcement to TikTok, sharing a video of herself holding her daughter while speaking emotionally about the experience of meeting her child for the first time.
“I was so in love with her the minute I met her,” she said in the clip.
“I can’t even believe I’m saying the words, ‘my daughter.’ She’s just perfect.”
Earlier Allegations Against Fred Johnson Resurface
The celebratory posts stand in contrast to videos Okada shared earlier in the year, where she appeared to reference a turbulent relationship with Johnson during her pregnancy.
In a May TikTok, she alleged—without directly naming him in the initial framing—that a man in her situation had forced out his pregnant partner and quickly moved on socially, making comments about dating apps and relationships shortly after.
“If a man were to kick out his eight-month pregnant girlfriend and unborn daughter and be on Hinge the very next day,” she said in one video, expressing frustration over the alleged circumstances.
Her comments sparked widespread debate online, with supporters and critics weighing in on the situation.
Fred Johnson Responds With Cryptic Posts
Fred Johnson did not directly address the allegations in detail but responded on Instagram with a brief post suggesting restraint and patience in the face of criticism.
“The smartest flex isn’t revenge,” he wrote, before later posting another message expressing faith and endurance: “God ain’t bring me this far just to leave me… This too shall pass. I love you all.”
The posts were widely interpreted as indirect responses to the growing online discussion surrounding the couple.
Backlash and Okada’s Defense of Her Experience
As public reaction intensified, Okada also found herself facing criticism over her relationship choices and public statements.
In response, she pushed back against the idea that blame should fall on those who enter relationships in good faith.
She argued in a follow-up video that people often unfairly question women’s judgment after the fact, rather than holding partners accountable for their behavior.
“No woman knowingly goes into a situation thinking this person is going to hurt me,” she said, emphasizing the unpredictability of personal relationships.
Fred Johnson’s NFL Career Background
Beyond the off-field attention, Johnson remains an active player for the Philadelphia Eagles, serving as a key depth option on the offensive line.
The 6-foot-7, 326-pound lineman from West Palm Beach played college football at Florida before beginning his NFL journey with the Cincinnati Bengals, followed by a stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He joined Philadelphia later and has spent multiple seasons with the franchise, stepping in when needed during injuries to starters Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata.
A Private Milestone Under Public Scrutiny
While the birth of Akira Jade marks a significant personal milestone for Okada, it arrives amid ongoing public scrutiny of her past relationship with Johnson.
For now, both continue to navigate life under the spotlight—one adjusting to motherhood, the other maintaining his role on one of the NFL’s most closely watched teams.
