LOOK: Odell Beckham Jr., Lauren Wood share first photos of newborn son
Just days after winning the first Super Bowl of his career, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Lauren Wood have had their first child together. The two shared photos of the moment via Instagram on Wednesday, with Beckham Jr. saying his life has been changed forever.
“The biggest blessing I’ve ever had in my life arrived here on earth,” Beckham Jr. said via Instagram. “A moment I will never forget and cherish forever. Zydn was born and at that moment I knew my life changed for the better.”
You can see a couple of the photos below, where Beckham Jr. is seen with Wood and his newly born son.
On top of having his first child, Beckham Jr. can finally call himself a Super Bowl champion after the Los Angeles Rams took down the Cincinnati Bengals on Feb. 13. The wide receiver was released from the Cleveland Browns during the middle of the season, letting him link up with head coach Sean McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford.
As you can see in the second picture from the NFL’s tweet, Beckham Jr. is in the early process of recovering from a torn ACL. He suffered the injury running a crossing route late in the first half of the Super Bowl and was ruled out for the remainder of the game. In total, Beckham Jr. caught two passes for 52 yards and a touchdown.
Now, he will be facing free agency and will be able to sign with the team of his choice once again. ESPN has said staying in Los Angeles could be the best for Beckham Jr. but pairing himself with another elite quarterback in Patrick Mahomes would make sense as well. Options will be on the table for the elite wide receiver after resurrecting his career with the Rams.
