Athletes Julie Ertz and Zach Ertz are growing their family! Over the weekend, the couple revealed they are expecting their second baby together. “Adding to the family Summer 2024!”
The NFL player announced the news on his Instagram page in a birthday post for his wife. The couple was dressed up in the image, with the soccer player wearing a stunning green dress that hugged her baby bump and Zach donning a cream-colored suit. “Happy Birthday Mama! We love you! Adding to the family Summer 2024!” Zach captioned the announcement. The couple did not reveal the sex of their baby.
Julie and Zach welcomed their first baby together in August 2022. The couple had a son, born on August 11th, and named him Madden Matthew. “I can’t even put into words how blessed we are to be your parents,” the US women’s national soccer teammate wrote at the time.
The Washington Commanders tight-end first met Julie through mutual friends in 2012. They dated long distance for part of their relationship and went on to become engaged in 2016. The couple tied the knot in an outdoor ceremony at the Bacara Resort & Spa in Santa Barbara, California in 2017. Last month, the couple celebrated their anniversary, and they each posted black and white throwback images from their wedding day. The former soccer pro wrote alongside her post, “I love doing life with you.”
Congratulations to Julie and Zach on the news of their second baby! We wish them all the best as they prepare to grow their family.
