So, here are the answers: Nationality? She is an American. Height? Her height is not publicly mentioned anywhere, but Dawkins is 6-foot-5 and she’s shorter, but tall enough to be a model. Plane crash? More than a year ago, Buffalo Bills star left tackle Dion Dawkins and his family, fiancee Daiyaana Muhammad, and their three children, son Dil, and two daughters, Dakota and Dalilah, escaped injury as a private plane went down in his yard in suburban East Aurora, New York, killing the pilot, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Age? Again, not publicly mentioned anywhere, but Daiyaana completed her Nursing degree from Brookline College in 2015, and pursued a Master of Science in Leadership and Healthcare Management at Western Governors University in 2020. She could be in her late 20s or early 30s. All speculation, no confirmation. Kids? She has three children: son Dil, and two daughters, Dakota and Dalilah. Parents? There is no information about that anywhere. Now, let’s start from the start.
Even in long ER shifts, Dion Dawkins’ fiancee would sketch fashion designs
Daiyaana Muhammad hails from Los Angeles, California. She entered the modeling career when she was only 18. She also began studying nursing during the same time. After completing her nursing education, she relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, where she worked on a dialysis floor and in pediatric emergency department at Emory University for a few years until she met the love of her life, Dion Dawkins. Her specialty includes working at renowned hospitals like Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta – Egleston Hospital, and Oishei Children’s Hospital. “Even during long ER shifts,” Muhammad told Harper’s Bazaar in 2025. “I’d sketch fashion designs in my mind, or watch runaway shows during breaks. Fashion was always there, waiting for me.”
Nursing taught Buffalo Bills’ WAG how to remain calm amidst chaos
Daiyaana is a registered nurse, a licensed professional in multiple states. She holds several certifications, even an illustrious Harvard Bok Higher Education Teaching Certificate. “Nursing shaped who I am,” Muhammad told the magazine. “It taught me resilience, discipline, and how to remain calm amidst chaos.”Muhammad relocated to Buffalo, New York, where she worked in the NICU [Neonatal Intensive Care Unit] for a few years until she had her first baby. The same year [2021 to 2022], she completed her Master’s and began teaching at Chamberlain University, a nursing school, as an instructor.
Resumed modeling for a publication featuring Jermaine Jackson, Taraji P. Henson, and James Arthur
Muhammad re-established her modeling sphere only recently. In July 2024, she appeared on the cover of Eclair Magazine, a Los Angeles-based popular publication that featured legendary singer Jermaine Jackson, renowned actress Taraji P. Henson, and singer-songwriter James Arthur. Over the years, Daiyaana featured in the fashion shows of London, Paris, and Copenhagen Fashion Week. She also appeared at Tokyo Fashion Week in September 2024 and subsequently at Women’s New York Fashion Week. In August 2025, she appeared on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam. She has also been a certified Reformer Pilates instructor for a while.
How does Daiyaana Muhammad balance it all? Motherhood, modeling, and nursing career
The mother-of-three lives in Buffalo, New York, during the NFL season and in Miami, Florida, during the offseason. How does she balance it all? Motherhood, modeling, and a nursing career. “It’s challenging,” Muhammad told the outlet. “But I believe you can be fully present both at work and at home, it all comes down to intention.I don’t want my children to feel like they’re competing with my dreams. I want them to see I’m living them, showing them that passion and responsibility can coexist.In both fields [nursing and modeling], you have to anticipate what’s next. In the ER, it’s patient’s needs; on the runway, it’s the designer’s vision, the photographer’s shot, the audience’s energy. You can be a mother, a partner, a professional, and still pursue your dreams. We’re capable of all of it.”Also Read: “Duh, it’s going to be Buffalo”: Fans slam NFL’s question on X—Who ya got on TNF?
