6 Nov
Summary
- Former NFL quarterback shares adjustments of becoming a new dad
- Describes feeling of "level of responsibility" increasing after daughter's birth
- Finds joy in daughter's smile and hopes to expand family in the future
In a recent interview, a 38-year-old former NFL quarterback, who welcomed his daughter Daphne Reign 4 months ago with his wife Demi-Leigh, reflects on the joys and challenges of fatherhood. He shares that while the love for his daughter was instant, the biggest adjustment has been the heightened sense of responsibility.
The new dad explains that upon bringing his daughter home, he became hyper-aware of potential hazards, constantly checking for corners or steps where she could fall or get hurt. This level of vigilance even affected his driving, with his wife Demi-Leigh noting he was driving much slower than usual.
Despite the adjustments, the doting father expresses immense gratitude for his daughter, describing the joy he feels when she smiles. He even shares that his voice can elicit a smile from Daphne, even when he's not physically present. The NFL star also reveals his desire to have a "big family" in the future, though he acknowledges that the decision ultimately rests with his wife.
As the new parents navigate this life-changing experience, the former quarterback is clearly embracing the role of fatherhood with open arms, finding solace in the little moments that make it all worthwhile.
