Nessa Diab and Colin Kaepernick Welcome Their First Baby: "We Are Over the Moon"

Colin Kaepernick and Nessa Diab are now officially parents, as the latter announced on Sunday via Instagram the arrival of their first child. In the photo, the two were resting together with the newborn child in what appeared to be a hospital bed.

The 41-year-old radio personality explained that she thought long and hard about sharing the news that had changed their lives. She decided to share the news as it was her first day that she could finally call herself a Mom. The MTV host explained that she and Kaepernick had an amazing baby a few weeks ago and were over the moon with their growing family.

She added that recovering after delivery has been a journey for her, but she wouldn't share anything about it as it is personal to them, and she just realized she's now an official mother. The television actress emphasized that Kaepernick is the most amazing father she could ever wish for; for that, she's beyond grateful as he stayed by their side in every moment of their journey.

According to the People, the "Girl Code" actress said that her way of conversation and perspective towards life experiences have already changed. Her world has gotten much bigger because of their sweet baby. The newborn baby showed the new mother how to love in ways she never knew.

Diab thanked her partner for supporting and showing love since they first got together. She concluded the post by thanking everyone for their support and signing off with her boyfriend's last name, "Love The Kaepernicks."

Many followers and celebrities flocked to the comment section to congratulate the couple, including celebrities Mariah Carey, Gizelle Bryant, and Wanda Sykes.

The former 49ers quarterback star and his longtime girlfriend did not mention the gender of the baby and were careful not to show the child's face in the sweet snapshot. The baby's arrival came after Kaepernick revealed his interest in returning to the National Football League this year.

The couple has been linked since 2015, New York Post reported.
