Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick officially has taken on a new and exciting role in his life: dad.
Nessa Diab, Kaepernick’s longtime girlfriend, announced the birth of the couple’s first child on social media Sunday.
“I thought long and hard about sharing our life changing news today,” she wrote on Instagram, alongside a picture of her and Kaepernick with the newborn baby. “I decided to do so because today is the first day in a few weeks where I stepped out for work with a new life title — MOM!”
Diab said that she gave birth a few weeks ago, but did not reveal the exact birth date.
