Van Jefferson was unable to celebrate for very long with his teammates after the Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl on Sunday. Just after the blue and gold confetti finished falling, the wide receiver learned his wife had gone into labor. The surreal moment was captured on video.
Jefferson was hugging his young daughter and son when a Rams staffer frantically ran over to him and informed him that his “wife’s giving birth right now.” Jefferson responded “oh my gosh” and then calmly explained the situation to his children. NFL Films shared a video of the exchange:
Jefferson shared a photo of him holding his newborn just hours after Super Bowl LVI.
What a day for Jefferson. The second-year wideout caught four passes to help his team defeat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20. He and his wife then welcomed another child all in the same night. It doesn’t get any better than that.
