On October 20th, 2025, a lacrosse player took to social media to share a glimpse into his newfound role as a parent. In his post, he reflected on the profound changes that have come with fatherhood, noting that it has "slowed him down and woken him up at the same time."

The athlete expressed his gratitude for his family's health and the "enormous love" he wakes up to every day. He also looked forward to the many stories and blessings that his child's first lacrosse stick will hold, including the inevitable broken windows and balls allowed in the house.

Meanwhile, the player's partner, Crown actress Vanessa Kirby, previously shared how her Marvel character Sue Storm's pregnancy in Fantastic Four: First Steps has influenced her own approach to motherhood.
