CJ Spiller’s daughter, Shania Spiller, was born out of wedlock on March 30, 2006, with his Union High School girlfriend Krystal Brown. At that time, Spiller was a freshman at Clemson University.

Spiller then found love with his wife, Daysha, who’s been a loving stepmom to Shania.

Later, on February 7, 2022, CJ and his spouse became parents of their son, Cade. The family extension came five years after he retired from the NFL.

During his NFL career (2010- 2017), he frequently mentioned his daughter in his interviews and tabloid sources. And now, his son is another spotlight stealer in the Spiller family.

In May 2023, Daysha wished their daughter a 17th birthday on her Facebook. As of 2024, Shania is 18 years old.

She enrolled at D.W. Daniel High School in Pickens County, South Carolina, in August 2023.

CJ’s second child, son Cade, is 2 years old as of 2024.

Given the fact that they officially met at Clemson Fan Day (i.e., on August 11) and her old posts from 2009 showcasing her in a #28 jersey (worn by CJ), it’s evident that she was his fan.
