The football icon has spoken about the joy and transformation he experienced when he embraced fatherhood for the first time. Now raising three kids, he takes immense pride in fatherhood and appreciates his wife even more.
\nCarson Wentz stepped into fatherhood for the first time during his tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles. Today, he and his wife, Madison Oberg, are proud parents to three young daughters, one of whom bears a resemblance to him.<\/p>\n
One of his proudest roles is being a father, but his journey as a professional athlete has also shaped him in profound ways. Selected second overall by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2016 NFL Draft, Wentz quickly made his mark.<\/p>\n
During his five seasons with the team, he earned second-team AP All-Pro honors and a Pro Bowl selection in 2017. That year, he led the Eagles to an impressive 11-2 record before a knee injury in Week 14 ended his season.<\/p>\n
Though sidelined, he remained deeply involved, attending media events, reviewing film with teammates, and even throwing pregame passes before Super Bowl LII. Wentz\u2019s leadership helped Philadelphia secure its first championship with a 41-33 win over New England. While others took center stage, he chose to celebrate quietly with teammates.<\/p>\n
As he navigated the highs and lows of his football career, Wentz, who now plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, also embraced a significant milestone in his personal life.<\/p>\n
During that period, he proposed to Madison Oberg and shared the news on X with photos. \u201cShe said YES! And now Maddie and I both got us a ring, can\u2019t wait to marry my best friend! God is doing some amazing things and I can\u2019t thank him enough!\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
Shortly after their engagement, Wentz and Oberg, who wed in July 2018, expanded their family, welcoming their first daughter, Hadley, in April 2020.<\/p>\n
Fatherhood reshaped Wentz\u2019s perspective, influencing both his career and personal life. \u201cIt\u2019s a calling and a responsibility that I don\u2019t take lightly,\u201d he said in an interview. \u201cIt kind of takes some of the pressure off you because you remember football, or anything outside of family life, isn\u2019t your No. 1 priority.\u201d<\/p>\n
Being a dad not only altered Wentz\u2019s priorities but also required adjustments to his daily routine. \u201cI don\u2019t know if I ever had a perfect balance or have it all figured out when it comes to time management with work and life and extracurriculars, hunting, those types of things I enjoy, on top of family time,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
