Richard Allen II is the father of Jonathan Allen. According to the official website of the Washington Commanders, his father was deployed as a nuclear biological chemical warfare specialist for the U.S. Army in South Korea. According to the Washington Post, Allen was two years old when his parents got divorced and his mother was granted custody. However, Allen had not attended kindergarten and failed second grade as a result of not attending primary school. After Allen and his brother got in touch with their father, despite the growing paranoia of her mom not letting them get in touch with him or attend school, his father filed for custody.

After his father was granted full custody, they relocated to Ashburn, Virginia, where his father instilled the spirit of hard work and even 'threatened' to pull him out of his high school football team if he failed to maintain his grades.

After a judge found the children 'educationally neglected' and their mother failed to attend any psychological evaluation, Richard II Allen was granted full custody of his children and they have not been in touch with her ever since, as per CBS Sports.

According to CBS Sports, Jonathan mentioned he loved his stepmom Traci to 'death.' Richard III Allen stated: "Our stepmom really became a great figure for both of us. She made us study at the dinner table for two hours after school."
