Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott announced that he is a dad.
The star quarterback announced that he and his girlfriend Sarah Jane Ramos recently had a little girl, whom they named MJ.
Prescott talked about his new baby girl Monday at a Children’s Cancer Foundation event.
“I feel different,” Prescott told reporters on Monday. “When you wake up in the morning and you see that baby, you understand responsibilities. And everything that I’ve always wanted for myself, but you want that for somebody else even more. Yeah, it’s special.”

According to Prescott, both mom and daughter are fine and at home.
The couple, who announced that they were expecting back in November, received backlash from some media members afterward, with some saying it may be a distraction for the star quarterback. But it was far from it. Prescott had his best year in a Cowboys uniform this past season, throwing for over 4,500 yards and 36 touchdowns, putting him in the race for NFL MVP.
Prescott was excited at the time about wanting to have a girl.
“I do want a girl. I’m blessed, thankful,” he said at the time. “Obviously, everyone knows what my mom means to me so just being able to raise a little girl, I’m excited about. I’m excited for all of the challenges.”
