Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has kept his girlfriend’s identity a secret. White has chosen to call her “Peanut” instead of her actual name during interviews.
Born and raised in Kansas City, Rachaad attended Center High School, where he became one of their star players.
White’s college football journey began with Nebraska-Kearney, but after a year, he transferred to Mt. San Antonio College.
In his sophomore year at Mt. Sac, White rushed 1264 yards and scored 10 touchdowns. The following year, he transferred to Arizona State.
In his two years at Arizona State, Rachaad played 15 games, rushed for 1426 yards, and scored 20 touchdowns.
A third-round pick for the Bucs in the 2022 NFL Draft, White has so far rushed 2054 yards, with his best season being 2023.
Despite White having his best season last year, the Bucs chose to draft another running back, Bucky Irving, in this year’s draft.
And now most of the Bucs fans want Irving to start over White. His latest game-losing fumble against the Cowboys certainly doesn’t help his case.
There’s a good chance that starting next season, Irving could be the first choice over White.
The only way White can secure his position is if he shows something special against the Saints and Panthers and helps the Bucs guarantee a playoff spot.
Who Is Rachaad White’s Girlfriend, Peanut?
Rachaad White has kept his girlfriend away from the public spotlight.
The NFL player hasn’t shared a single post with his girlfriend on his Instagram handle, and his girlfriend has never been seen on any of his family members’ social media handles.
Going through his tagged posts, there’s not one romantic post between White and his partner.
At times players’ fan pages are good at finding out about their partners. But that simply hasn’t happened in Rachaad’s case.
After getting drafted by the Bucs in 2022, White sat down for an interview with Go Long.
During his interview, he talked about his partner, whom he affectionately called Peanuts.
The running back revealed he met Peanut at Mt. Sac and that she stuck with him even during his worst days.
On Rachaad’s mom’s Facebook page, there are a few family photographs of White with his brothers and his daughter.
In those photos, a woman is seen holding Rachaad’s daughter and standing close to him.
The said woman had made appearances in some of Rachaad’s older pictures before he entered the NFL.
But there’s a good chance she is not “Peanut” but a close family member or someone other than Peanut.
Rachaad White’s Only Child Was Born In 2021
Rachaad White and his girlfriend Peanut are parents to a baby girl born on August 25, 2021.
The couple has named their daughter Nevaeh Michelle White, and she even has a private Instagram page.
On Nevaeh’s first birthday, White shared a carousel of pictures on his Instagram.
Since he became an NFL player, White has brought his daughter to several games.
On December 15, White’s family, including his mom, Rochelle Wood, was seen carrying Nevaeh as they cheered for him.
Recently, Nevaeh was featured with her dad for a photo shoot with the Angry Runs Scepter.
On his Instagram highlights, White has made a separate tab naming it “Girl Dad.”
The running back has shared several photographs of him enjoying his day outs with his daughter.
On his highlight, he reshared a post from his daughter’s account on his birthday.
The post might’ve been posted by Peanut, and it read, “Happy Birthday Daddy! I love you so much. You’re the best dad in the whole world.”
