NFL quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly have welcomed their fourth child together, a year after her 12-hour brain operation.

The couple announced their new arrival on Instagram with a photo of the two of them during a cesarean section with the caption, “Friday, June 26, 2020. Our family became complete.” Neither the sex or name have been announced yet and the little one joins older sisters Sawyer, Chandler, and Hunter.

The pregnancy was announced by Kelly back in March on Instagram via a family photo at Disneyland where she included that they planned on being surprised by the sex of their baby, saying, “We won’t know whether the stafford kids will continue as a girl squad or if a little brother will enter the craziness until baby is here.”

The new Stafford baby has arrived about a year after Kelly went through a 12-hour brain surgery in April 2019 after a benign tumor was found resting on her cranial nerves. On the one-year anniversary of the procedure, Kelly posted a photo commemorating the milestone. She included a comment about her husband of 5 years, “You are the only reason I got through this past year. So many ups and downs and you were such a strong foundation to lean on.. even in some of your most difficult times. Thank you for getting me through.”

Congratulations to the Stafford family and we wish you all health and happiness!
