Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is gearing up for a big 2025 season—but he’s also preparing for an even bigger role off the field: becoming a dad.
Goff and his wife, Sports Illustrated model Christen Harper, are expecting their first child—a baby girl. The couple tied the knot during the offseason and recently shared a beautiful update on Instagram. In a series of sweet beachside photos, Goff is seen cradling Harper’s baby bump with the caption: “Just waiting for our girl.”
Fans quickly flooded the comments with love, calling the photos “stunning” and “a true love story.” And judging by the glowing couple, it’s clear this is a joyful moment in their lives.
Christen has been open about her pregnancy journey. She recently shared that she was 18 weeks along during her latest Sports Illustrated shoot and spoke candidly about the challenges of posing in a bikini while navigating body changes.
“It was a really weird in-between,” she said on the Sunday Sports Club podcast. “I didn’t fully feel like myself, but I didn’t have this bump yet that I was super proud of.”
The couple first revealed the pregnancy during the 2025 NFL Honors ceremony in February, where Harper subtly showed off her baby bump on the red carpet.
Now, as the new season approaches, Lions fans are not only cheering for Goff on the field—but also sending love to him and Christen as they await their little one’s arrival.
