This football player is now a father!
JJ Watt’s wife, Kealia Ohai, has given birth to their first child.
The athletes’ little one arrived on Sunday.
“Love and happiness have reached heights we never even knew existed,” the couple captioned a joint Instagram post Tuesday. “Koa James Watt.”
Ohai, 30, debuted her baby bump in June, revealing her October due date via Instagram.
At the time, Watt, 33, shared the same photo of himself cradling Ohai’s bump, writing, “Could not be more excited.”
The Arizona Cardinals defensive end subsequently shared his wishes with sideline reporters to “hopefully have a photo with [his] child on the field” one day.

When Watt’s teammate D.J. Humphries promised the dad-to-be “a whole book” with “step-by-step” parenting advice, Watt joked that he hadn’t received “s—t” from the 28-year-old offensive tackle.
“He’s just going to shake my hand and say, ‘Good luck,’” Watt said. “I’m going to wait for that book. All these guys told me they’d give me tips, [but] I haven’t gotten one tip yet.”
Watt continued to document his pregnant wife’s progress on social media, posting from their tropical babymoon the following month.
“Hang it in the Louvre,” the NFL player captioned a July Instagram snap of Ohai’s bare belly in a bikini.
He and the soccer player began dating in 2016, getting engaged three years later.
In February 2020, the pair tied the knot in the Bahamas, which Watt called the “best day of” his life “without question” via Instagram.
The groom posted a throwback video of his partner eating pre-ceremony chicken wings in her wedding dress for their first anniversary.
“I … found my perfect match,” Watt wrote in February 2021. “Anyone who can look that good (and wear that much white) while eating wings has to be the perfect woman.”
