Lamore shared an Instagram post and wished her better half on their 9th anniversary. She described their love by saying, ” You are that lyric over a tight beat and the air I breathe! Happy Anniversary my King!”
LaMore Shared Bijan’s Birth Story
Lamore reported to Bleacher Report that Robinson wasn’t breathing when he was born.
The story was from 2002 at the Northwest Medical Center delivery room. Lamore recalled a story about the child who came into the world ” as blue as the sky.”
The doctors attempted to revive him, and even after some seconds of birth, Bijan had not responded.
Bijan’s grandmother walked over and touched his little chest. After all, of a sudden, a miracle happened. The child started screaming and crying.
After that moment, the family named the child’ Bijan,’ a Persian word that means ‘Hero.’
The original pronunciation of the name was BYE-jan, but he had preferred to take BEE-zhahn.

Bijan Was Raised By His GrandParents
Bijan Robinson grandfather Cleo Robinson uplifted the running back from his childhood. His grandmother is Terri Robinson.
Cleo retired at 75 in 2022 and now fully attends his grandson’s matches. While he was working, he used to miss Bijan’s matches.
Cleo worked as a Pac-12 referee for 26 years. He was a part of the league’s top instant replay crew at the time of his retirement.
He played Marana’s first state championship football team in 1965. He was an all-state linebacker in high school and was a track and field athlete at Northern Arizona.
Cleo was inducted into the Pima County Sports Hall of Fame on October 23.
Bijan calls Cleo his dad, as he grew up without a father. Cleo started his officiating career in 1978, which influenced Bijan to play football.
Cleo used to collect the programs and bring them to his grandson, which helped the running back to uplift his skills from childhood.
Bijan started playing flag football at the age of 5 and playing tackle football at the age of 8.
Cleo is very happy to watch Bijan’s play as his dream of seeing his grandson as a professional player became a reality. He shared his experiences with Fox Sports and concluded how much he admires the college footballer.
Terri also shared that Bijan used to throw himself on the ground and say, ‘Tackle me! Tackle me! Tackle me!’ But today, it’s the opposite. “He does whatever he can to not be tackled.”
