A Milestone Week
The personal announcement caps off a remarkable week for the rookie quarterback. Just days prior, Penix stepped into the starting lineup and led the Falcons to a commanding 35-14 victory over the Green Bay Packers.
The couple’s announcement video featured a romantic picnic where they proudly showcased their ultrasound photos.
From College Sweethearts to Parents
The upcoming addition to their family follows a major personal milestone earlier this year. The pair, who began dating during Penix’s collegiate career, officially tied the knot in May 2026 at a resort in Georgia after getting engaged in late 2024.
As Penix continues to navigate his first season in the NFL, he and Olivia are now preparing for their biggest role yet: parenthood.
