Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, fresh off a Super Bowl LIX victory and a stunning Met Gala debut, has added another milestone to his remarkable year: fatherhood. The 26-year-old NFL star and his wife, Bryonna “Bry” Rivera Burrows, welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Amara Grace Hurts, on April 28, 2025, a source close to the couple confirmed to PEOPLE. The joyous arrival marks a new chapter for the couple, who tied the knot in a private ceremony this spring after a decade-long romance that began at the University of Alabama.

The couple, known for keeping their personal lives out of the spotlight, has not publicly announced the birth, but those close to them say Jalen and Bry are “over the moon” about their daughter. “Jalen and Bry are thrilled to be parents,” the source shared. “They’ve always valued their privacy, but this is a moment they’re cherishing deeply with family and close friends.”

Jalen, the Super Bowl MVP who led the Eagles to a 40-22 triumph over the Kansas City Chiefs in February 2025, hinted at his excitement for family life in a recent Men’s Health cover story, where he confirmed his marriage to Bry. “I knew a long time ago,” he said of his bond with Burrows, whom he met in 2016 while both were students at Alabama. “That’s an irreplaceable feeling.” Now, that bond has grown even stronger with the arrival of Amara.

Bry, 27, a Dallas native and artificial intelligence partner at IBM, has been a steadfast supporter of Jalen’s career, from his college days with the Crimson Tide to his rise as one of the NFL’s brightest stars. The couple’s chemistry was on full display when Bry joined Jalen on the field at Caesars Superdome after his Super Bowl win, sharing a heartfelt embrace amid confetti. Their love story, which blossomed through career shifts and an on-again, off-again college romance, culminated in a beach proposal in September 2024 and a quiet wedding earlier this year.

Fans caught a glimpse of the couple’s elegance at the 2025 Met Gala on May 5, where they made their debut in coordinating Burberry outfits. Jalen, the face of Jordan Brand, wore a double-breasted black velvet jacket with floral embroidery, while Bry stunned in a burgundy beaded gown. Unbeknownst to attendees, the couple was likely savoring one of their final public moments before welcoming their daughter.

Bry, a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., and a former homecoming queen candidate at Alabama, has balanced her own impressive career in tech with her role as Jalen’s “rock,” as he described her during a Super Bowl press conference. A handwritten note from Bry, shared in
