Catalina Mancera, the girlfriend of late Dallas Cowboys star Marshawn Kneeland, is pregnant.
Cowboys head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, revealed the news in a Wednesday, November 12, press conference.
Schottenheimer, 52, announced the creation of the Marshawn Kneeland Memorial Fund to help Catalina and the couple's unborn baby.
"I'd like to take a few moments and offer my condolences to Marshawn's family, Catalina, his girlfriend," the head coach said. "We had an opportunity last night to celebrate Marshawn's life, tell some stories. Share, laugh, cry. Marshawn loved the words ‘one love.' So we talked a lot about love, as we grieve. I got a chance to share a couple of the things that I'll miss the most about Marshawn."
Schottenheimer said Kneeland had "the most playful spirit of any young man I've been around."
"My heart is heavy, my team's heart is heavy," Schottenheimer added. "We don't move on, but we do move forward."
Kneeland died on Thursday, November 6, when body was found after an apparent suicide.
The Cowboys star and Mancera had been dating since Kneeland's time at Western Michigan University.
Kneeland was selected by the Cowboys in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
