Baker Mayfield had an “adorable” reaction upon learning his wife, Emily, is pregnant with their first child.
When taking part in an Instagram “Ask Me Anything” on Wednesday, Emily — who revealed this week that the couple is expecting a baby girl next year — elaborated on how she shared the news with the Buccaneers quarterback.
“It was adorable,” Emily said of Mayfield’s reaction. “I set up a whole thing & had a ‘big bro’ shirt on [their dog] Fergus. His initial reaction was he thought we got a puppy so he was looking around the kitchen for that. But then when he realized it, he was SO excited.”
Emily, 32, who has been married to Mayfield since 2019, later recalled what the quarterback, 28, said in response to the baby reveal.
“His jaw hit the floor, I think he yelled ‘SHUT UP!?!? You are?!?’ Then we both cried happy tears,” she said in a separate slide.
The Mayfields announced the exciting news Monday in a joint Instagram post.
“We’ve been hiding a little something……..,” Emily began.
“But we are THRILLED to share that baby girl Mayfield will be joining our crazy crew in early April 2024!”
The parents-to-be received a flurry of well-wishes from the NFL community, including Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard.
“Ayyyeee!! Congrats you guys!” Kelce commented on Instagram while Shepard posted, “Let’s gooooo!! Congrats you two.”
Emily thanked fans on Wednesday for their support.
“Bake and I are feeling all the love the last few days following our announcement! Thank you. We feel so so blessed,” she shared on Instagram.
Mayfield, the first overall pick by the Browns in 2018, is in his first season with the Buccaneers.
Through 12 games this season, Mayfield has thrown for 2,790 yards, 18 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
