The Kelce family team has just signed a new player!

On Friday (February 24) Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie announced that they'd welcomed a baby girl to their brood, just weeks after the Eagles lost against the Kansas City Chiefs at this year's Super Bowl.

Funnily enough, Kelce and his brother Travis both played for separate teams in the final of the major sporting event - making for an interesting post-game family dinner.

Anyway, Kelce has had other things to think about lately, especially as a new father of three! Posting an image to Instagram, the 35-year-old wrote: "Yesterday little lady #3 joined us. Bennett Llewellyn Kelce. 8lbs. 5oz. and 21inches long."

The new arrival - who was born on February 23 - marks the third little girl for the Kelce family, joining sisters Wyatt, three, and Elliotte, 23 months.

Shortly after the announcement, Kylie, 29, took to her Instagram stories to post images of her other girls as newborns, writing on the image: "I know that they all just look squishy at this stage. But I really feel like Bennett is pretty much a clean split."

Today detailed how the parents-to-be had a plan in case Kylie went into labor during the Super Bowl game, which was held in Arizona. The mom - who was 38 weeks pregnant at the time - even brought her OB-GYN to the game, just in case!

"It's funny, there is someone who does predictions for baby names on TikTok, and she was saying that this is her Super Bowl, because she's not a sports person, and she put out a list. And it's as if our house was bugged," Kylie told PEOPLE.

"We don't have a name, but my husband keeps making the joke that if she does come while we're out there that we'll name her Super, which is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard of in life," she added to the outlet. "We have talked about if she does come out there that we might consider making her initials S.B., or something related to the Super Bowl, just as sort of a tribute."

Following the match, Kylie paid tribute to her hubby, captioning an image of herself with her oldest daughter Wyatt with: "What an incredible run. Wasn't the outcome we wanted… but at least I didn't go into labor at the game (even though I was in amazing hands with my OB dream team). Scroll to see the moment Wyatt cues 'all of the lights.'"

Well, we think a big congratulations is in order! Welcome to the world, Bennett!
