The San Francisco 49ers football player Fred Warner and his wife, Sydney Hightower, who is a former contestant on the dating show “The Bachelor,” have welcomed their first baby together. They named their son Beau Anthony, and he was born on March 7th, 2024, in San Jose, California. The couple revealed that Beau was born via cesarean section after a breech delivery was confirmed. Hightower’s surgery was successful, and both mother and baby are reported to be in good health.
The couple shared the news of their son’s birth exclusively with PEOPLE magazine. They expressed their excitement over their first child and their eagerness to begin their new journey as a family. They also shared photos of their new bundle of joy with the magazine. The couple had teased their son’s birth earlier in the week by sharing Hightower’s final bump photos on social media, which showed her in the hospital just before Beau’s arrival.
Hightower had spoken with PEOPLE last month about how she was savoring the final moments of her pregnancy and looking forward to welcoming her first child with her husband by her side. She had also mentioned that she and Warner were cherishing their precious time together before the baby’s arrival, and they were excited to take advantage of the quieter moments once all the commotion had died down.
Hightower revealed that she was anticipating next season, which she plans to spend cheering for her husband while carrying their baby boy. She talked about how special it is to be a part of the NFL mama crew, and she was eagerly looking forward to joining the group.
The couple got engaged in May 2021 and married in June 2022 in a small chapel in Vista, California, surrounded by their loved ones. Hightower had appeared on Peter Weber’s season of The Bachelor in 2020 and had caught Warner’s eye on Instagram. They started dating soon after and have been inseparable ever since.
The couple had revealed their pregnancy news last October, sharing footage from one of their ultrasound appointments. They expressed how much they had enjoyed the experience and how every weekly milestone and new development had been indescribable. They were excited to welcome their little one into the world in March 2024.
In the new year, the couple announced that they would be having a baby boy, sharing photos slicing into a cake with blue icing. They wrote that they loved their little boy more than he could imagine. The couple has been ecstatic about their pregnancy and their upcoming parenthood journey, and they have been consistently sharing their excitement with their followers and fans on social media.
