On Aug. 28, Nessa Diab announced on Instagram that she and Colin Kaepernick had welcomed their first child together. She shared a photo of the couple lying in a hospital bed with their newborn but made sure the baby's face wasn't seen.
In her caption, Diab explained that she and Kaepernick were keeping certain details about their growing family private. "I thought long and hard about sharing our life changing news today," she wrote. "I decided to do so because today is the first day in a few weeks where I stepped out for work with a new life title - MOM!"
Diab continued by saying that she and Kaepernick were "over the moon" to be growing their family. Although the couple wasn't "going to share anything" about their baby's arrival because the news was "personal," Diab admitted she couldn't help it. "I realized I'm a complete mama bear!" she said. "Colin is the most amazing dad and I'm soooo grateful that he is by our side for every moment of this journey."
She also explained that she and Kaepernick decided to ultimately share the news because it "allows" her to connect with her and her husband's supporters even more than before. "My conversations and life experiences have already changed. And my world has gotten that much bigger thanks to our sweet little baby who has shown me how to love in ways I never knew," she wrote.
