Pat McAfee, wife Stephanie expecting second child
The McAfee family is growing.
Pat McAfee and his wife Stephanie McAfee revealed on Saturday that they are expecting their second child. Stephanie wrote on Instagram:
“The path that led us here was filled with needles, hormones, countless appointments, and more emotion than we ever knew two hearts could hold. IVF pushed my body to its limits and stretched our spirits in ways we never expected. It was hope and heartbreak, faith and fear — all tangled together as we trusted science and prayed for another miracle.
And now, with humbled hearts and overwhelming gratitude, we are overjoyed to share that we are expecting a baby boy, arriving June 2026. 💙
To every woman and couple still in the thick of this journey: you are not alone. I hope our news doesn’t cause you pain, but instead offers a spark of hope. Hope that your story isn’t over. Hope that the impossible can become possible.
One day, this storm will pass — and when it does, may your rainbow find you.”
When Pat and Stephanie McAfee announced they were expecting their first child in November 2022, Stephanie spoke about her parenthood journey, which included two lost pregnancies where she nearly lost her life. The couple then went through IVF treatments in an effort to conceive. Stephanie posted the following as a message to other couples facing similar issues: “Dear women and couples trying and battling, I hope this isn’t a trigger but rather serves as hope. Hope that you too can over come the battle of infertility. You will be parents! And remember that after a storm, a rainbow can occur.”
The couple’s first child, a daughter, was born in May 2023. The McAfee’s post announcing they are expecting their second child is available below:
