Linebacker TJ Watt is going to be a dad! The Pittsburgh Steelers player and his wife Dani Watt, a former soccer player, announced they are expecting their first baby together. “We can’t wait to meet you baby.”

The couple shared a series of photos to announce their pregnancy news. TJ and Dani wore matching outfits of white t-shirts and blue jeans for the pictures, with the former soccer player’s top pulled up to show off her growing baby bump. The images were taken at the couple’s home and they revealed their baby’s due date: February 2025. TJ’s brother JJ Watt, a former NFL player who played for the Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals, commented on his brother’s post, “LETS GOOOOO!!!!!” JJ and his wife Kealia Ohai welcomed their first baby in October 2022.

TJ and Dani dated for six years before tying the knot in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in July 2022. After her nuptials, the soccer player revealed she never thought she would change her last name. “When I was a little girl I never thought I’d find someone special enough to ever change my last name. But I found him and couldn’t be happier to share a name with the man of my dreams Rhodes ➡️ Watt.”

For their second wedding anniversary this past July, Dani gushed over her husband in an Instagram post writing, “Doing life with you will always be my greatest joy. Happy Anniversary @tjwatt90 ❤️ I love you SO much!” The NFL player shared his own post to commemorate the occasion writing, “Happy 2 year wedding anniversary to my soulmate! Through all of the ups and downs, you are my rock. I love you!”

Congratulations to TJ and Dani on the news of their first baby!
