Jared Goff and Christen Harper celebrate birth of baby girl Romy: ‘Our hearts are full’
NFL quarterback Jared Goff and his wife Christen Harper are overjoyed to announce the birth of their first child — a sweet baby girl named Romy Isabelle Goff.
The couple shared the exciting news on Tuesday, July 15, revealing a touching black-and-white slideshow of photos on Instagram to mark the occasion.
In their heartfelt post, Jared, 30, and Christen, 32, introduced baby Romy and included her full name in the caption with a short but emotional message: “Romy Isabelle Goff” followed by a heart and envelope emoji.
The first photo in the series showed Romy calmly resting, wrapped in a soft blanket and sporting a bow-topped cap. One tiny hand clutched what looked like Christen’s finger — a tender first glimpse at the new Goff family member.
One emotional photo featured Jared gently holding Romy in his arms, gazing at her with love. Another intimate moment showed the couple in bed, with Christen cuddling Romy on her lap while Jared leaned in close.
Not long after sharing the news, Christen posted on her Instagram Story, overwhelmed with joy. “Heart is bursting into a million pieces!!!!” she wrote, pairing it with Coldplay’s “Green Eyes,” possibly referencing a trait Romy inherited.
While they didn’t reveal Romy’s exact birth date, the images and the chosen song added even more heart to the already intimate announcement.
Friends and fellow NFL partners filled the comment section with love and congratulations. Olivia Culpo, now a mom herself with Christian McCaffrey, wrote: “Congratulations!!!”
Camille Kostek, longtime love of NFL icon Rob Gronkowski, commented: “My heart. I love you guys and baby Romy.” Anna Kupp, wife of Cooper Kupp, added: “The most precious gift. So happy for you both!”
The couple originally shared their pregnancy news at the NFL Honors in February, expressing their joy and anticipation for parenthood.
“I’m looking forward to becoming a dad,” Jared said at the time, with a visible sense of excitement.
Christen, a model featured in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, added, “We’re just excited to enjoy this special time together and soak up every second.”
She had revealed they were expecting a daughter and hinted her due date would fall during the summer — making Romy’s arrival perfectly timed.
Fatherhood has long been a dream for Jared. “I’ve always dreamt of being a dad,” he told People. “Now that it’s real, I can’t wait. I know it’ll change my outlook in the best way.”
He also praised Christen for the mother he knew she would be, saying he was sure she’d be “the best mom.”
“I can’t wait to watch her be a mom,” Jared said with admiration. Christen agreed: “I know he’s going to be the best, and it’s just going to be exciting to do this together as a team.”
Their relationship began in 2019 after meeting on the exclusive dating platform Raya. At first, they kept things quiet, but love quickly blossomed. Jared popped the question in June 2022 on a romantic trip with friends.
Just two years later, on June 22, 2024, the pair married in a beautiful ceremony in Ojai, California, surrounded by loved ones. Their wedding was filled with touching moments and elegant details — the perfect start to life as a family.
