DeMarcus Lawrence had more than just a championship on his mind at Super Bowl LX – he also had a baby on the way.
During the live broadcast, commentators revealed that the defensive star’s wife, Sasha, was in the stadium at 37 weeks pregnant with the couple’s sixth child. In a detail that instantly raised eyebrows, it was also shared that she had brought her doctor along for the game – just in case.
Naturally, the question hanging over the locker room all week had been: what happens if she goes into labor?
According to commentary during the pregame coverage, Lawrence’s teammates had already debated the scenario at length. One reportedly told him bluntly: “It’s not guaranteed you’ll make it out of Super Bowl but you can have another baby.”
But in a surprising twist, DeMarcus had already made arrangements – and they weren’t entirely his call.
If Sasha were to go into labor during the game, DeMarcus would not be alerted. The decision, commentators explained, was hers. She didn’t want him pulled from the biggest night of his professional career.
Still, the 31-year-old had one very clear message for his wife before kickoff. Turning to her ahead of the game, he reportedly said: “Whatever you’ve got to do, this can’t happen today.”
Off the field, DeMarcus and Sasha have built a full, fast-paced family life that already revolves around their large brood. The longtime couple regularly share glimpses of school runs, game days and family milestones on social media, showing a tight-knit household that moves in sync with the NFL calendar.
DeMarcus, a Pro Bowl defensive end and former second-round draft pick, has carved out a reputation as one of the league’s most relentless pass rushers, earning multiple lucrative contracts over the course of his career.
Balancing family life with the demands of elite sport is no small feat, and the Lawrences are no strangers to juggling both. With Sasha heavily pregnant and still showing up to support her husband from the stands, doctor in tow, it was a testament to just how high the stakes were – on and off the field.
