The McAfees, Pat and Samantha, are now parents. The ESPN analyst announced Thursday on Instagram that he and his wife had given birth to a girl.
Sharing a photo of himself and Samantha holding their little one’s tiny foot, he wrote, “Today’s a day that @mrsmcafeeshow and I have been dreaming of.. I can’t wait to see where this foot gets to go beautiful girl. WE LOVE YOU.”
“Baby and Momma are both healthy.. Momma and I are floating with joy,” he continued. “This is amazing. Thanks for all of the good vibes.”

Samantha began the heartfelt post by explaining that she and her partner had experienced two miscarriages and that she had nearly lost her life both times due to internal bleeding. As a result, she had to have both of her Fallopian tubes removed, making it impossible for the couple to conceive naturally.
Continuing, the 34-year-old CEO and founder of the nonprofit Fur the Brand said that she and her partner had begun in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in July, calling it “physically demanding and emotionally challenging for the both of us.”
Samantha described “pumping my body with so many hormones, the anxiety, the hope, truly being a human science project,” noting that she did so despite a dread of needles, as she knew she would sometimes need as many as three a day.

Neither I nor Patrick like having to inflict suffering on the other. She wrote, “I’d like to think IVF has helped strengthen our relationship.”

Samantha, who will marry the WWE commentator in August 2020, revealed that they found out they were pregnant “after about 150 shots, a surgery, a transfer, countless blood tests, waiting on embryos, genetic testing, hoping for a big fat positive on that pee stick.”
“And so much support from family and close friends. It’s been a team effort for sure,” she added. “We are beyond happy and blessed to announce our double rainbow baby!”
She concluded her post by sending a message to “women and couples trying and battling” to conceive, writing, “I hope this isn’t a trigger but rather serves as hope. Hope that you too can overcome the battle of infertility.”
“You will be parents! And remember that after a storm, a rainbow can occur.”
