Overview
- During Monday Night Football at Hard Rock Stadium, cameras briefly showed Jason Taylor in a VIP box as a woman rose from his lap, creating an awkward on-air moment that quickly circulated online.
- Subsequent reports confirmed the woman was his wife, Monica Taylor, countering social-media speculation that drew comparisons to a prior 'Coldplay' kiss-cam saga.
- ESPN’s announcers did not address the interaction, instead pointing out Taylor’s presence in the suite while the shot aired.
- Monica Taylor is a former Miami Dolphins cheerleader, founder and creative director of the sleepwear brand Monuit, and vice president of the Jason Taylor Foundation.
- Taylor attended the Jets–Dolphins game with added interest as a former player for both teams and to watch his son Mason, who had five catches for 65 yards in the Jets’ 27–21 loss.
