During Super Bowl 56, Odell Beckham Jr was expecting the birth of his first child anyway, as he was seen hugging girlfriend Lauren Wood’s baby bump.

On Instagram, Odell announced the couple’s birth of their first child, baby Zydn.

As you can see in the photo, Beckham is recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in the Super Bowl win vs the Cincinnati Bengals; surgery that happened this past Tuesday.

Despite the injury, what an incredible week for Beckham, who wins his first Super Bowl and then has his first child.

Congrats to the Beckham family on Baby Zydn.
