Pat and Samantha McAfee have started a family. The ESPN commentator and his wife had a baby girl on Thursday, May 04, which they shared on Instagram.
Sharing a photo of himself and Samantha holding their little one’s tiny foot, he wrote, “Today’s a day that @mrsmcafeeshow and I have been dreaming of.. I can’t wait to see where this foot gets to go beautiful girl. WE LOVE YOU.”
“Baby and Momma are both healthy.. Momma and I are floating with joy,” he continued. “This is amazing. Thanks for all of the good vibes.”
Samantha started her moving essay by sharing the tragic news that she and her boyfriend had undergone two misc@rriages, each of which almost resulted in her de@th due to internal bleeding. Since she had to undergo surgery to remove both of her Fallopian tubes, spontaneous conception was out of the question for them.
The 34-year-old CEO and creator of Fur the Brand continued by saying that she and her boyfriend had started in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in July, calling it “physically demanding and emotionally challenging for the both of us.”
Samantha said she felt like she was “pumping my body with so many hormones, the anxiety, the hope, truly being a human science project,” and she did this despite having a fear of needles since she knew she might need as many as three a day.
Neither Patrick nor I like being the one to cause the other pain. To paraphrase what she wrote: “I’d like to think IVF has helped strengthen our relationship.”
