Van Jefferson has revealed the name of his newborn son who arrived shortly after the NFL star won this year's Super Bowl.
The Los Angeles Rams wide receiver, 25, was seen sprinting from the stadium so that he would make it in time to witness the birth of his second child - just moments after his team's historic win.
Jefferson and his teammates secured a glorious win against the Cincinnati Bengals, beating their opponents 23-20.
And it was Jefferson's wife Samaria who had attended the big game on Sunday but went into labor while it was in its fourth quarter. She was spotted leaving the stadium on a stretcher.
Now, the Rams star has revealed the very "fitting" name he and Samaria gave their newborn boy.
"We decided on Champ Jefferson," Jefferson told People. "It's very fitting. That's very fitting for the type of situation we just had."
Explaining the inspiration behind the special name, the football star told the outlet: "Champ has a meaning of warrior, and I'm all about having meaning [in] a name, so I think that's a perfect fitting for him."
The athlete added that his wife is also" a warrior, too, to go through what she went through" bringing Champ Curtis Jefferson into the world.
"Even coming to the game leaving at half time, so she has that warrior spirit, so we just thought it was fitting for him to have that same thing," he added.
Jefferson had no choice but to cut short his Super Bowl celebrations short as he rushed to the hospital to support his wife through labor.
In fact, according to The Athletic reporter Jourdan Rodrigue, he "sprinted through the locker room" on his way to the hospital with his daughter in tow.
She wrote on Twitter: "Van Jefferson grabbed his daughter as she and his dad came into the field and sprinted through the locker room and is heading to the hospital right now. Samaria, his wife, is having their son and was rushed to the hospital mid-game as she went into labor."
Following the birth of his new baby, the NFL star took to his Instagram Story to post an adorable photo of him cradling the newborn. He captioned the image "X2!!!!!".
Jefferson and his wife — who are high school sweethearts — are also parents to their five-year-old daughter Bella. Van is also a father to a 4-year-old son.
