Barrett’s wife Jordana made the announcement with an emotional post on social media 

‘Arrayah has given me hope. She has changed so many lives with the short 2 years she blessed this earth, and God works in such mysterious ways, but I will never ever doubt his plans for my life.

‘Through the worst of the worst, he turns and uses ALL things for good. I will trust when it’s the hardest, and praise him through all things good. 

‘His plans are far more better than my own and always always will be. Serve a God who cares, a God who gives, a God who takes away, a God who comforts, and a God who unwavering loves us when we do not deserve it. Thank you Jesus!’

Aaryah’s death was described by police as ‘a purely accidental and tragic incident’. Arrayah was the youngest of four children that Baltimore-born Barrett has with his wife Jordanna.

‘Today’s tragic news is heartbreaking for all members of the Buccaneers family. Our thoughts and prayers are with Shaq, Jordanna and the entire Barrett family during this unimaginably difficult time,’ the Buccaneers said in a statement at the time.

‘While no words can provide true comfort at a time such as this, we offer our support and love as they begin to process this very profound loss of their beloved Arrayah.’

He and his wife met at high school, and married in February 2012.

They have three surviving children: sons Shaquil Jr. and Braylon, and daughter Aaliyah.

The two-time Pro Bowler and two-time Super Bowl champion agreed to a four-year, $72million contract with the Buccaneers in March 2021.

Barrett sustained a season-ending injury in October, suffering a torn left Achilles during the Buccaneers’ Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. 

His teammate Tom Brady led the tributes to the Barrett family when the news about his daughter’s death first emerged. 

‘The Bradys love you,’ the legendary quarterback wrote alongside a picture of the Barrett family on his Instagram story.
