Larger-than-life sports personality Pat McAfee and his wife, Samantha McAfee, are expanding their brood.
“The trail that led us here was full of needles, hormones, countless appointments, and more emotion than we ever knew two hearts could hold,” Samantha wrote via Instagram on Saturday, November 29, announcing that the couple predict baby No. 2.
“IVF pushed my body to its limits and stretched our spirits in ways we never expected,” she continued within the caption, alongside ultrasound photos and an image of a cake, revealing that the pair predict a boy. “It was hope and heartbreak, faith and fear — all tangled together as we trusted science and prayed for one more miracle.”
She added, “And now, with humbled hearts and overwhelming gratitude, we’re overjoyed to share that we predict a baby boy, arriving June 2026. To each woman and couple still within the thick of this journey: you aren’t alone. I hope our news doesn’t cause you pain, but as a substitute offers a spark of hope. Hope that your story isn’t over. Hope that the unattainable can develop into possible.
Samantha concluded her celebratory message by reminding those attempting to conceive that “in the future, this storm will pass.”
“And when it does, may your rainbow find you,” she added.
Pat and Samantha married in 2020 after a one-year engagement and 4 years of dating.
“He surprised me by having the pilot land on the bae of the most important waterfall I actually have personally ever seen,” Samatha wrote via Instagram of the proposal, which took place in Hawaii. “As we were taking a cute photo on the waterfall it was at that moment my boyfriend became my fiancé.”
In May 2023, they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Mackenzie. Along with being an analyst for ESPN sports, the previous Indianapolis Colts kicker famously provides commentary for various WWE events — even stepping into the ring sometimes himself.

Samantha, for her part, is the founder and CEO of Fur The Brand, a non-profit organization that goals to lift awareness for canine cancer while providing financial assistance for families struggling to afford obligatory treatment for his or her four-legged friends.
Amid their many profession obligations, Samantha hopes that her daughter — and now, future son — will learn invaluable lessons from their parents’ work ethic.
“He works on a regular basis, even the hours you’re suppose to be resting,” Samantha captioned an Instagram post featuring a photograph of Pat prior to their daughter’s birth. “His brain is at all times considering of how you can make the show higher [The Pat McAfee Show], how you can make his team higher, how you can be a greater human, friend, husband and shortly to be father”
She continued on the time, “I can only hope our baby girl has his work ethic and drive. I like this man a lot. I gain more respect for his grind, brain and keenness yearly.”
After announcing the pair predict their second baby, many NFL stars and commentators took to the comments section to share their well-wishes — including Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who’s preparing for the subsequent chapter of life together with his fiancée, Taylor Swift.
“Let’s goooo!! Congratulations!!!’ Kelce wrote. Former NFL defensive end J.J. Watt, former safety Ryan Clark and NFL insider Adam Schefter also sent their congratulations to the soon-to-be parents of two.
