Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield helped carry the team over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday and Monday, he had more good news for Bucs nation. He and his wife, Emily, are expecting their first child – a baby girl – in April of 2024.
The couple, married since 2019, announced the news in a post via Emily Mayfield’s Instagram. The post includes photos of the happy duo alongside their future baby’s fuzzy “older brother,” Fergus.
“We’ve been hiding a little something…….,” she wrote with the eye emoji. “But we are THRILLED to share that baby girl Mayfield will be joining our crazy crew in early April 2024.”
The 28-year-old Buccaneers quarterback is in his sixth year in the league and with his fourth team. Hopefully, considering the relative success he’s found this season with Tampa, Mayfield and his growing family can make the city more of a home for the next few years. However, his current deal is for just one year.
Tampa Bay is 5-7 this season, which is Mayfield’s first. The team started off hot with three wins in the first four games of the year, but followed that up with a four-game losing streak. They’ve since split the last four games 2-2. The quarterback is 18-8 in touchdowns to interceptions this season with 2,790 passing yards and a 63.6% completion rate.
