Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff and his wife, Christen Harper, recently welcomed their daughter, Romy, and the new parents are clearly enjoying this chapter. In a heartwarming moment captured by close friend Katie Austin, Harper—known for her work with Sports Illustrated—was spotted strolling along the beach with Romy snug in a carrier.

Goff and Harper tied the knot last year following a long-term relationship and revealed their pregnancy not long after. The announcement became a notable part of their public image, especially after Harper participated in a standout maternity shoot for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, which drew acclaim for its powerful representation of motherhood.

Now adjusting to life as a first-time mom, Christen Harper is focused on bonding with Romy, while Jared Goff prepares for another pivotal season with the Lions. Taking on the responsibilities of both quarterback and new dad, Goff will hope to channel the added motivation into strong performances on the field.

Last season, Goff and the Lions reached the divisional round before falling to the Washington Commanders. This year, Detroit will aim to push even further, with hopes of reaching the Super Bowl, starting with a Week 1 showdown against the Green Bay Packers.

The Lions will kick off preseason action in the Hall of Fame Game versus the Los Angeles Chargers—marking a historic first for both franchises. Excitement is high as fans look forward to the matchup and the HOF induction of Eric Allen, Jared Allen, Sterling Sharpe, and Antonio Gates this Saturday.

Following their Hall of Fame appearance, Detroit will compete in three more preseason games before the regular season begins. As the offense’s cornerstone, Goff’s leadership will be crucial in helping the Lions aim for an even stronger finish than last year
