Who are Chris Olave's parents? Meet Saints WR's Cuban father Raul Olave and African-American mother Causha Jones-Olave

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave has come a long way in his life. The boy began playing at Eastlake High School in Chula Vista. He played there for two seasons. But then his parents decided to change schools. The WR played for Mission Hills High School in San Marcos, California.

He later played for the Ohio State Buckeyes and broke many records. All these years his parents have kept an eye on him and his two older brothers, Isiah and Josh.

Who are Chris Olave's mother Causha Jones-Olave and father Raul Olave?

Raul Olave worked the night shift for more than 20 years, but never forgot his responsibility as a father. He was always there whenever they wanted him to go to competitions, training or exams. It wasn't easy. But as the saying goes, “Things that are worthwhile aren’t easy.”

Her mother, Causha Jones-Olave, also worked hard to support the family. She often worked two jobs, which she spent on her children's education and sports training. When Chris was selected in the 2022 NFL Draft, both parents were on cloud nine.

The hard work has finally paid off. Chris, the youngest sibling, was a strong competitor. Whenever the boys played basketball, the youngest (Chris Olave) would always fight with his brothers. Soon the fraternal competition expanded to wrestling and pickleball and eventually ended up in football.

He inherited not only the competitive spirit, but also the sporting genes from his parents.

What ethnicity are Chris Olave's parents?

Chris' father Raul has Cuban roots while his mother Causha belongs to the African-American community. Both always reminded him to give his all for success. They often taught him that he could achieve anything with his hard work. And this lesson was always close to his heart.

Not only him, but all three brothers always had each other's backs. This gave him a support system to lean on. Since Chris Olave was also the youngest, he always learned from his older brothers who also played college sports. This proved to be very valuable as he always received insider information about the sport.

The whole family remains connected to this day. When breaking NCAA records, Chris Olave called his family his inspiration, saying, “My two brothers, we are so close. I can't even explain the love I have for her. I can't express my love for my parents, what they have done for me throughout my life and how they continue to support me.”

Such a loving bond often helps an athlete reach the next level. Stay tuned! More stories coming your way.
