Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and his girlfriend, Sarah Jane Ramos, celebrated the arrival of their first child, a daughter named MJ. The couple, both 30 years old, shared their joy with the public, expressing gratitude for their new roles as parents.

Prescott spoke fondly of his newfound responsibilities at a Children’s Cancer Fund Gala in Texas, emphasizing the special feeling of waking up in the morning and seeing their baby.

Despite acknowledging the challenges, he expressed gratitude for their health and blessings. With a sense of humor, Prescott joked about his experiences with diaper duty and expressed his willingness to share the task whenever possible.

Ramos had announced her pregnancy in November, sharing black-and-white maternity photos on Instagram and expressing excitement about raising their daughter together. Prescott soon reciprocated the sentiment, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to embark on this journey with Ramos.

In subsequent social media posts, the couple shared their anticipation and excitement about becoming parents, with Prescott referring to himself as a “girl dad” and expressing gratitude for the blessing of starting a family.

Reflecting on his own upbringing and the loss of his mother to cancer in 2013, Prescott expressed gratitude for the opportunity to create a family of his own. Despite keeping their daughter’s name a secret until her birth in March 2024, Prescott shared his enthusiasm for parenthood and humorously credited his recent success on the football field to “dad strength.”
