Chiefs guard Nick Allegretti had a big Sunday before Super Bowl LVII even kicked off.
His wife, Christina, gave birth to twin girls at 3:30 a.m. in Chicago while the Chiefs player was in Arizona preparing for the Super Bowl matchup vs. the Eagles.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that Allegretti and his family were able to FaceTime Christina and her family from the hospital room while she gave birth to the twins.
Allegretti started in three games this season, last playing in Week 13 vs. the Bengals. He is available for the Super Bowl despite his wife giving birth the same day.
What’s more, there might be another Chiefs Super Bowl baby. Kansas City wide receiver Mecole Hardman’s wife’s water broke in the early hours on Sunday morning. He has not given an official update if a baby has been born. Hardman was placed on the injured reserve list ahead of Sunday’s game.
On the Eagles side, center Jason Kelce’s wife is bringing her obstetricians to the Super Bowl as she is 38 weeks pregnant with the couple’s third child.
