Baker Mayfield Expects 'Little Shithead' Son

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is set to welcome a new addition to his family, as his wife Emily is pregnant with their second child. The couple confirmed they are expecting a son, due in April 2026. This news follows the birth of their daughter, Kova Jade, in April 2024. The Mayfields celebrated the upcoming arrival with a private family gender reveal, cutting into a cake that revealed a blue interior.

Mayfield shared his excitement and a dose of humor regarding the impending arrival of his son. He quipped that he would soon have a "little shithead on his hands," acknowledging the challenges and joys of parenthood. He also commented on future career choices, stating he would encourage his son to pursue whatever he wishes, reflecting on his own parents' stance on his football career.

The quarterback, married to Emily since 2019, is preparing for both personal and professional milestones. While Mayfield faces illness and was limited in practice this week, he is slated to play when the Buccaneers face the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday night.
