Robert Griffin III is about to be surrounded by a whole lotta ladies!
On Monday, the NFL quarterback, 29, and his wife Grete ?adeiko Griffin announced they were expecting their second child together, a daughter, in sweet posts on their respective Instagrams. The couple already shares daughter Gloria, who turns 2 in July.
Along with the exciting news, the expectant parents both shared a family photo that featured Gloria wearing a “Big Sister” t-shirt, while Grete, looking stunning in a tight pink ruched dress, held up a matching “Little Sister” onesie.
The new addition, who is expected to arrive in September, will become Robert’s third little girl, as he also shares 3-year-old Reese Ann with his college sweetheart and his first wife, Rebecca Liddicoat.
“SURPRISE!!!!! My beautiful wife @gretegiii just keeps adding blessings to our family. Reese and Gloria have a new little sister on the way!!!!” the Baltimore Ravens star captioned his post. “Thank you baby for blessing us with this new baby girl coming our way in September.”

Robert first reshared the family photo, captioning it with “We pregnant” before sharing two more snaps of his wife holding up a pillow that read “To the world, you may be one person, but to me, you are the world” and a square bouquet of Don De Fleur roses with heart eyed emojis.
His final post featured a shot of his youngest daughter, looking slightly apprehensive about the news of gaining a younger sibling as she held up the “Little Sister” onesie.
“That’s right kiddo, get ready” the athlete captioned the cute snap.
