Welcome to fatherhood, Jared Goff! On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions quarterback and his wife, Kristen Harper, announced the birth of their daughter, Romiisa Bergov, through a shared Instagram post.
Earlier in February, during an NFL honors event, the couple revealed they were expecting a baby. Goff expressed his eagerness to become a dad, saying, “I look forward to being a dad. We’re excited to enjoy this special time together and cherish every moment. I know it brings a new outlook on life, and that’s wonderful.”
Goff and Harper began dating in 2019, got engaged in June 2022, and tied the knot in California in June 2024. During the 2024 NFL season, Goff played a crucial role in leading the Lions to a 15-2 regular-season record, tying for the best in the league with the Kansas City Chiefs. However, despite securing the top seed in the playoffs, Detroit was unexpectedly defeated by Washington Commanders, 45-31. Statistically, Goff was second in the league for passing yards with 4,629, just behind Joe Burrow’s 4,918, and threw 37 touchdowns with a QBR of 68.4.
