T.J. Watt, the standout outside linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and his wife, Dani, are set to welcome their first child. Watt shared the exciting news on Instagram, receiving well-wishes from his NFL teammates and colleagues. They tied the knot in Cabo San Lucas in 2022, and Dani, a former soccer player, expressed their eagerness to meet their little one on her Instagram story.
T.J. Watt is the youngest member of the Watt family. His older brother J.J. has already made a mark in football and started his own family. T.J. is an uncle to J.J.’s son, Koa. T.J. and J.J. often joke about T.J. being an uncle, and now T.J. will have the chance to reciprocate as an older brother. Derek Watt, the middle brother and a former Steelers fullback, has two sons of his own.
T.J. Watt, the 2022 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and a top pass rusher of his era, is excited to take on the role of a father while aiming to lead the Steelers to a Super Bowl during his career.
In other news, Van Jefferson, now with the Pittsburgh Steelers after George Pickens, is looking to rejuvenate his career following a Super Bowl win with the Rams. Jefferson acknowledges that complacency set in after his initial success. He admits to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic that he struggled with staying motivated and dealing with injuries, particularly knee issues, which have affected his performance.
At 28, Jefferson’s future with the Steelers will depend on his performance and ability to stay healthy, providing the reliable option they need.
