“New addition coming April 2026, and we couldn’t feel luckier 💙,” the Mayfields wrote in a joint post in November.

Their first child, Kova, was also born in April 2024, and that makes this extra special for the family. The brother and sister will share the same birthday month, or maybe even the same zodiac sign.

Personally, the Mayfields couldn’t be happier about growing their family. But this season has been tough for Baker Mayfield, with the Buccaneers finishing 8-9 after a strong start that fizzled out. As the season ended, it prompted a legendary coach to walk away from the league for personal reasons. 

Baker Mayfield’s heartfelt goodbye to coach Moore

On January 9, Tom Moore, who served as the offensive consultant for Tampa Bay, announced his retirement after a 62-year coaching career. The NFL showcased heartfelt messages from around the league, and Baker shared his own touching tribute.

“Thank you Coach Moore for the dedication, time, effort, “Moore-isms”, and love you poured into all your players. Grateful to have been around a true football legend and a great human!” wrote Baker in an Instagram post with pictures of him and Moore over the years.

Moore joined the Bucs franchise in 2019 and worked with Mayfield for three years, helping build the quarterback and the squad for the post-Tom Brady era. During that time, Moore went on to win a Super Bowl ring and led the team to the postseason twice with Mayfield at the helm.

In the end, Moore chose retirement to focus on his wife, Willie, who needs his care and support during this time. Meanwhile, for the Mayfields, this family happiness brings a lot of hectic days ahead, with baby duties set to increase.
