Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill and wife unveil gender of new baby
Miami Dolphins superstar receiver Tyreek Hill revealed that his latest child, and first with wife Keeta Vaccaro, will be a girl in the couple’s Instagram post of their gender reveal party.
“I’m having another girl,” Hill said as pink smoke filled the air.
Hill, who is the NFL’s first receiver to produce back-to-back 1,700 yard receiving seasons, was coincidentally, or not, holding one of his daughters as he ran off sprinting in celebration.
“We got a girl on the way. Tyreeka is her name,” Hill joked as Vaccaro, who happens to be the sister of former NFL safety Kenny Vaccaro, protested the name choice.
Hill and Vaccaro, a popular social media influencer in fashion and fitness, got married in November during the Dolphins’ bye week in a ceremony in Texas after being engaged since 2021.
They revealed Vaccaro was pregnant in May, so it’s possible that their daughter will be born during the season.
Court records in Broward show that the seven-time Pro Bowler had filed for divorce earlier this year, but a divorce petition on Jan. 30 was made to have the motion “dismissed, settled or disposed before hearing.”
Hill claims he had never given anyone permission to file the paperwork on his behalf, and fired the lawyer.
“I just gotta say that it sucks, a lot of our stuff is public record, but behind closed doors a lot of people got fired too for just doing things without our ‘yes’,” Hill said during a Twitch livestream. “It sucks that me and my wife gotta go through that. Like yeah, public records says it and right now we’re in a spot of fixing it.”
Hill’s official child count is unclear because of recent paternity claims, but he does have three children from a previous relationship with ex-fiancee Crystal Espinal, and has confirmed the number of children he supports financially is 10.
His teammates have joked that Hill needs a sprinter van just to take the family to dinner, and now that van will require an infant seat.
Hill, who is entering his ninth NFL season and third with the Dolphins, is on the books to make $20 million this season. But this is the last year the money in the four-year, $120 million contract he received from the Dolphins in 2022 is guaranteed.
Hill, who ranks 53th in the NFL in career receptions (10,139), has annually been one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL for the past four seasons. But he openly admits he wants a new deal that will put him in the neighborhood of the new contract Minnesota signed Justin Jefferson to, which will pay the Pro Bowl receiver $28.4 million a season.
This season Hill, a five-time All Pro selection, will again be pushing to become the NFL’s first 2,000 yard receiver, a feat he could have achieved the past two seasons if he had stayed healthy.
