Texans star Christian Kirk and wife Ozzy's baby joy turns Instagram into an NFL lovefest
Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk and his wife Ozzy have officially stepped into parenthood, marking one of the
NFL
offseason's most heartwarming moments. The couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Londyn Rose Kirk, drawing a wave of love and excitement from across the league.
The news broke days after the birth, instantly becoming a viral moment among fans and NFL players alike.
Kirk, known for his quiet off-field presence, chose a deeply personal reveal over headline-chasing.
NFL stars join in to celebrate baby Londyn
The wideout and his wife announced their daughter's arrival through an emotional Instagram post featuring a photo of Ozzy cradling baby Londyn. 'Welcome to the world, our little angel...Londyn Rose Kirk (rose and heart emojis) 06.26.2025,' they wrote.
Christian stood beside them, smiling through tears in what many called his proudest moment yet. The couple first revealed their pregnancy last December, calling it the "best gift we could have ever received.
"
The NFL community quickly responded, turning the comment section into an all-star celebration. JJ Watt posted a touching, 'Welcome to the world, Londyn,' while Texans mascot Toro joked, 'Aw, the newest Texans fan! Congratulations!' Other league voices, from teammates to rivals, echoed the sentiment.
It was a rare moment of unity and joy amid the usual offseason buzz.
Familiar faces and old ties light up the comments
Among those chiming in was Emily Engram, sister of Jaguars tight end Evan Engram—Kirk's former teammate in Jacksonville—who wrote, 'OMG yay!!! Congrats babes!' Former Dolphins safety Daniel Thomas added, 'Congrats Family,' capturing the spirit of camaraderie. Marissa Layne Lawrence, wife of Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence, also shared love: 'Little Londyn!! I love you, she's perfect, you guys!' The comments were warm, personal, and deeply supportive.
Adding to the surprise, Brittany Williams—ex-girlfriend of Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen—dropped two heart-eyed emojis in the mix. Despite her split with Allen in 2023, Brittany remains closely connected to NFL circles and is known to share a strong bond with Ozzy. Her sweet gesture was a subtle reminder of the friendships that go beyond team colors.
Kirk and Allen, in fact, are longtime friends, having vacationed together and shared offseason time since 2022. Allen once tried to convince Kirk to join the Bills, joking, 'Buffalo's not that cold,' but Kirk went another way. Now, as Kirk steps into fatherhood, his NFL family is showing up off the field too.

(Image credit: D Gukesh clinched the rapid title at the SuperUnited Rapid & Blitz tournament in Zagreb, Croatia, after an impressive performance that included defeating World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen . Following his victory, Gukesh shared a humorous story about a promised shoutout to his cousin who had predicted his win over Carlsen. After forgetting to mention his cousin in the post-match interview following his victory on Thursday against Carlsen, Gukesh made up for it later. "It is a bit funny. Before I came into this tournament, one of my cousins told me that I was going to beat Magnus. So we made a deal that if I do beat Magnus, I will give him a shoutout in my interview. I completely forgot yesterday, and he was quite upset about that," Gukesh said with a laugh. The young grandmaster showed remarkable resilience in the tournament. After losing his opening game to Jan-Krzysztof Duda, he bounced back strongly with five straight wins. His victory over Carlsen in Round 4 was a key moment that put him in the driver's seat. Gukesh finished the rapid section on a high note, defeating Wesley So of the United States in the final round. He won the game in 36 moves by capitalising on a tactical mistake. His overall performance included six wins, two draws, and just one loss. Looking ahead to the blitz format, Gukesh remains focused on maintaining his strong form. "I think so far I have been playing good chess, so strategy will be to play good chess with good time management and I hope that everything will work out," he explained.
