Some fans noticed that he was sitting with Jackson, who broke her silence on the dating speculation.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Jackson responded to all the buzz around her being with Pearce for one of the most important moments of his life. The LA Sparks star nonchalantly and jokingly denied that it was her with the linebacker prospect.
“Soooo I have a doppelganger. Wow,” Jackson tweeted.
According to the New York Post, there have been rumors before that linked Rickea Jackson to James Pearce Jr. It was the first time they were seen together in a public setting, possibly confirming their relationship. They follow each other on Instagram and both went to the University of Tennessee.
