Justin Thomas’s life was set to take an exciting new turn, and now it’s official. He and his wife Jillian welcomed their first child, a baby girl. Two months back, the golf superstar had shared on Instagram that the two were expecting their first child. Later, the baby’s gender was revealed before the ZOZO Championship in October.

After tying the knot in November 2022 after dating for five years, the Kentucky-born couple eagerly anticipated this new chapter. The golfer has admitted he was both thrilled and a bit nervous about becoming a dad and now that the baby girl is here, we can see nothing but excitement.

In his Instagram post on November 18, Justin Thomas shared the heartwarming news. “Our little girl is here! Molly Grace Thomas arrived to us on 11/18/24, and we couldn’t be more in love. Both Momma (who is a superhero!) and Molly are healthy, and doing well! ❤️”, he wrote. Justin also thanked the team at Jupiter Medical Center for the exceptional care provided by them.

Justin had previously admitted that he wasn’t fully prepared to be a father, but then again, who is? “I don’t think you are ever are [prepared],” Thomas told reporters in Japan.

“All I know is I’ll be as ready as I possibly can and we’re going to make the most out of every situation we can. I can’t tell you honestly if I’m ready because I’ve never done it before. I’ll let you know in a couple months. It will be a challenge in different ways, but one that we’re excited for,” he had further added. Hopefully, Thomas will be able to navigate this with Jillian by his side, as she has always been.

Jillian reportedly splits her time between Illinois, where she works at an advertising firm, and Florida, where Thomas lives. In an interview with People in March 2022, Thomas said that Jillian makes sacrifices in her own life to facilitate the golfer’s career. The two-time PGA champion explained, “I’m so fortunate that she is as patient and kind of halts her life for the lifestyle that I live. We’ve got a lot of great fond memories to look forward to down the road.”

Thomas had previously said that he was in a “pretty bad space mentally” for some time in 2021 —Jillian has been there for it all. “We feel like we already [are married] because of how long we’ve been together and she’s such a, just a great influence on me. I mean, she truly makes me a better person and every time being around her brings out a better side of me,” Thomas had said in 2022.

Thomas and Jillian exchanged vows during a private ceremony in Franklin, Tennessee, where phones were banned, according to the groom’s request. “I want people to be in the moment. It seems like everything everybody does, you got to have it on video or have it on pictures,” Thomas said of the ban. Jason Kennedy was the ceremony officiant, while fellow pro golfer Jordan Spieth served as Thomas’ best man.

After their relationship touched the important milestone, the golf community rallied around the new parents, with Nelly Korda, Jessica Korda, Rickie Fowler, and Jena Sims among those showing love and support by liking the post and also joining fans worldwide in celebrating this special moment.

The golf world comes together to share Justin Thomas’ happiness

LIV sensation, Brooks Koepka commented and said, “Congrats bro! Best job in the world”, referring to his own experience of becoming a father. Koepka’s wife, Jena Sims, melted hearts on Instagram this Tuesday, sharing an adorable video of the golf superstar spending quality time with their son, Crew.

As Koepka worked out on the treadmill while tenderly holding and bottle-feeding their little one, Sims gushed, “The best dad, bar none… Getting a little lovin’ before nap time.” The sweet moment showcased Koepka’s loving side, especially meaningful given Crew’s remarkable journey since his premature birth almost a year and a half ago.

Titelist’s official Instagram account commented, “Welcome, Molly! ❤️”, adding to the happiness. Justin Thomas and Titleist are a match made in golf heaven! Since turning pro in 2013, Justin has been a loyal Titleist guy, trusting their innovative clubs to help him conquer the course.

Thomas’ bag’s always packed with 14 Titleist favorites, proving his devotion to the brand. Over a decade of partnership has yielded amazing results: majors, tour wins, and countless memories. Now, as the golfer welcomes his baby, Molly Grace, the Titleist is beaming with pride for their beloved ambassador. They’ve been part of his journey, and now they get to watch the next-gen of Thomas grow – maybe even swinging Titleist clubs someday!

American swimmer Micheal Phelps joined the crowd and wrote, “Congrats!!❤️❤️“, extending his warm wishes to the couple. Many may not know, but Justin Thomas and Michael Phelps are very close friends.

In 2022, the unlikely duo teamed up for a fitness session at the exclusive Troubadour club, where Phelps revealed it was his go-to spot during his competitive days, saying “This is where I spent a lot of time.” As they worked out together, focusing on core exercises and weightlifting for Phelps’ post-retirement fitness goals, he shared, “Now I’m trying to build those muscles,” acknowledging that swimming didn’t require the same level of strength training.

Fans were also in the line to congratulate the golfer as one said, “Congrats!!💕 so excited for you both!”, while the other said, “Ahh congratulations you two!! 💖” Pour in your wishes too in our comments section.
