Florida star Jared Goff and his wife Christen Harper are over the moon as they welcome their first child, a beautiful baby girl named Romy Isabelle Goff.
The couple shared their happy news on Tuesday, July 15, posting a touching black-and-white slideshow on Instagram.
In the heartfelt caption, Jared, 30, and Christen, 32, proudly introduced their daughter to the world with a simple and sweet message: “Romy Isabelle Goff” followed by a heart and envelope emoji.
The first photo in the carousel showed little Romy peacefully sleeping, snuggled in a cozy blanket and wearing a sweet bow-topped hat. Her tiny hand grasped what looked like Christen’s finger—a heartwarming first look at the newest member of the Goff family.
One powerful image captured Jared gently holding his newborn daughter, his eyes full of love as he cradled her close. Another candid shot showed the new parents cuddled up together in bed, with Romy resting softly in Christen’s lap while Jared leaned in affectionately.
Shortly after announcing Romy’s arrival, Christen shared her overwhelming joy on Instagram Stories, writing, “Heart is bursting into a million pieces!!!!” She paired the post with Coldplay’s “Green Eyes,” hinting that their baby might have inherited a special trait from one of her parents.
Though they didn’t reveal Romy’s exact birth date, the photos and song choice added a personal, tender touch to the announcement.
Friends and fellow NFL wives quickly flooded the comments with congratulations and love, including Olivia Culpo, who recently had a baby with Christian McCaffrey, who simply wrote, “Congratulations!!!”
Camille Kostek, partner of retired NFL star Rob Gronkowski, shared her love, writing, “My heart. I love you guys and baby Romy.” Anna Kupp, wife of Cooper Kupp, added, “The most precious gift. So happy for you both!”
The couple first revealed their pregnancy while attending the NFL Honors red carpet in February, expressing their excitement about becoming parents.
Jared said back then, “I’m looking forward to becoming a dad,” clearly thrilled about the new chapter.
Christen, known for her work as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, added, “We’re just excited to enjoy this special time together and soak up every second.” She also shared they were expecting a baby girl with a due date in summer, making Romy’s arrival perfectly timed with the sunny season.
For Jared, fatherhood has been a lifelong dream. Earlier this year, he told People, “I’ve always dreamt of being a dad. Now that it’s real, I can’t wait. I know it’ll add a new perspective to life, and it’ll be great.”
He also praised Christen, saying he’s confident she’ll be “the best mom.”
Jared couldn’t hide his excitement, saying, “I can’t wait to watch her be a mom.” Christen shared the same joy, adding, “I know he’s going to be the best, and it’s just going to be exciting to do this together as a team.”
Their love story began in 2019 when they matched on the exclusive dating app Raya. Though they kept things mostly private at first, their relationship quickly grew deeper. In June 2022, Jared popped the question during a romantic getaway with friends, marking the start of a beautiful new chapter.
Fast forward two years, on June 22, 2024, Jared and Christen celebrated their wedding in Ojai, California. Surrounded by loved ones, the couple shared a stunning ceremony full of heartfelt moments and elegant details, perfectly setting the stage for their journey ahead as husband and wife.
