GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB/CNN) - Sunday was a big night for Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson, a former Gator player, who is now both a Super Bowl champion and a new dad.
His wife Samaria went into labor in the middle of Super Bowl LVI, while he was doing his best to beat the Cincinnati Bengals on the field.
Jefferson posted a photo to his Instagram story after the big game, showing him cradling his newborn baby boy.
His caption simply stated “X2!!!!!”
That’s a reference to the fact that he and his childhood sweetheart are also parents to their 5-year-old daughter Bella.
