NFL Star Tyreek Hill Appeared At Scene Of Burning Home In Protective Boots

NFL star Tyreek Hill can't seem to catch a break as he watched his million-dollar mansion burn while nursing an injured ankle.

The Miami Dolphins player's home went up in flames on Wednesday, January 3, while the athlete and his new wife, Keeta Vaccaro, were not at home. However, sources spotted the couple at the fiery scene as firefighters fought to de-escalate the situation.

When news broke about the burning inferno in Hill's Southwest Ranches, Florida home, he and his wife were not at the scene. However, they presumably rushed over to witness the heartbreaking moment after being alerted about the fire.

A video taken by sources captured the couple outside their still-burning mansion with fellow concerned onlookers. The football wide receiver looked clearly upset about the situation. 

In an exasperated move, Hill removed his hands from the pockets of his black joggers, telling his wife something before pointing at his left leg. As stated, he is currently nursing an ankle injury with the left foot in question wrapped in a protective walking boot.

Vaccaro tried to comfort her husband by rubbing a gentle hand down his back, but he refused her touch at one point to walk around, seemingly trying to calm down as he helplessly watched his mansion burn.

The X video, shared by JPA Football, noted the couple appeared while firefighters battled the fire with the caption: "Tyreek Hill and his wife have made it to their house as firefighters are still trying to put out the blaze."

Despite his injured foot, Hill was reportedly at practice with his team when the fire broke out. Fortunately, no one was harmed in the unfortunate event, but the mystery behind the fire remains unresolved.

The NFL star bought his Southwest Ranches, Florida home in 2022 for $6.9 million. The 9,300-square-foot building features two guest homes, a full-size basketball court, a home theater, a large pool, seven bedrooms, and eight bathrooms.

The video capturing Hill's appearance outside his burning home sparked various reactions from X users. One person commented on the athlete's injured foot, writing, "Tyreek in a walking boot. Lol, we have 16 starters out of 24 injured."

Another noted the NFL star's heated reaction to his burning home, declaring, "He's clearly pi--ed he can't do anything." A third fan agreed but implied Hill was angry at his wife with the comment, "He's mad at her though."

One user disliked the publicity surrounding Hill's tragic moment and implored others to stop spreading videos about his reaction. The individual wrote:

"Y'all stop posting video of the man and leave him alone. The man's house is burning down in front of his face. Public figure or not, have a little respect."

A few conspiracy theorists painted a picture of third-party interference, noting Hill's ongoing legal problems may have something to do with the fire. "With all the allegations he's going through, this seems kinda sus," an X user claimed with another echoing similar sentiments, chiming, "That's when your baby mommas connected on that action."

Before his Florida home went up in flames, Hill, as some X users pointed out, was slapped with two paternity lawsuits. The legal action was filed by two different women claiming the athlete sired their children.

The filings claim both children were born in 2023, the same year Hill married his longtime fiancé, Keeta Vaccaro. He reportedly paid each woman $2,500 a month; however, both women claim that this amount is "woefully inadequate" considering his $30M salary with the Miami Dolphins.

The first woman, Brittany Lackner, filed her petition in Broward County, Florida, and revealed that a prenatal paternity test had shown Hill was the father of her baby "with greater than 99.9% probability." However, she alleged the athlete refused to pay $2,500 a month in child support unless a second DNA test was performed.

Lackner, described as "unemployed, has no income, and is on Medicaid with no means of support," believes her son deserves better than $2,500 given his father's salary. The second woman, Kimberly Kaylee Baker, shared similar sentiments in her filing.

Baker came forward last May, claiming a paternity test would prove Hill was the father of her newborn daughter, Trae Love Hill. Her documents stated the pair hooked up in August 2022, and she was also receiving $2,500 monthly in child support.

However, the plaintiff argued that she spent nearly $10,000 on the duo's daughter. Apart from wanting better child support, Baker accused Hill of demonstrating "utter and abject unconcern" for their now-six-month-old baby girl.
