This article was last updated by on

Lanorris Sellers, the South Carolina Gamecocks quarterback, has been supported every step of the way by his parents, who, despite being separated, unite to support him as a team.

Sellers displayed a natural talent for sports from an early age, a gift that his parents accepted and helped hone through their guidance.

All through his high school games, both his parents were present in every game, cheering for him and encouraging him to do the best.

Additionally, his parents have continued to show their support even after he started playing for South Carolina.

Even after their split in 2019, both his mother and father have put their differences aside, focusing on supporting their son by coordinating to attend his games.

Lanorris Seller Grew Up In A Healthy Environment, Where His Parents Had A Good Co-Parenting Dynamic

Lanorris was born to his parents Norris Sellers and Cheryl Ford, who have been separated for five years now.

However, their unwavering support since his childhood has been fundamental for the success of his career.

The Sellers have always spoken publicly about their son’s career and have shown interest in his games since day one.

They once shared that Lanorris rewatched his games at home multiple times to identify areas for improvement.

They have been there for him through all the highs and lows of his career, celebrating his successes and offering support during the challenges.

In the season opener game of 2023, his whole family made the long travel from their hometown to Charlotte to watch him play.

More recently in 2024, fans saw his divorced parents together in the Woodstock parking lot behind the football facility.

Their healthy co-parenting dynamic has not only made Lanorris focused but also given him the belief that his parents will be there for him no matter what.

Moreover, the Sellers created such a comfortable environment at home that Lanorris always felt safe to communicate his feelings.

His father specifically shared that his generation taught men not to cry, but he broke the stereotype and taught his boys always to show their emotions, saying:

I refuse to use that for my boys, I always told them real men do cry

According to Greenville News, his parents let him fail when he needed to fail, which allowed him to grow more.

Furthermore, Sellers has always acknowledged his parents’ consistent guidance and support for him throughout his journey.

Nonetheless, Lanorris’s success has demonstrated the strength of parental support, as his parents put their son’s well-being and success first despite their differences.
