What a week for J.J. McCarthy. He not only played in his first NFL game and started for the Minnesota Vikings while leading the team to a big win, but he and his fiancée Katya Kuropas welcomed their first child.

The couple has been together since high school in Illinois and they announced Kuropas was pregnant with a boy back in May.

The 22-year-old quarterback missed his entire rookie season with a torn meniscus in his right knee after the Vikings took him at No. 10 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. He had quite the first start on Monday night, throwing for two touchdowns and running in one all in the 4th quarter in a 27-24 comeback win over their division rival the Chicago Bears.

Kuropas wrote on Instagram with McCarthy, “Welcome to the world Rome Micah McCarthy. The sweetest, most perfect gift form God!! We are so unbelievably blessed to be your parents.”
