Once buttoned down as a bad boy of baseball, Harper’s behavior has radically changed since he became a family man. It was apparent in times like his interaction with a 10-year-old fan at a Citizens Bank Park Match this September. The Phillies lost that day. But according to CBS News, the “Bam Bam” didn’t. He was practically floating on the clouds after signing off the little fan’s helmet that he had previously thrown. “After the fact, I was walking off, I wasn’t too upset anymore,”, he stated, “I kind of got all of it out.”. Now, what led him to become such a great dad on and off the field?

A year after getting married to Kayla in 2016, Harper shared a tweet with a big caption, including a line that said, “Your smile, laugh, freckles, and appetite has stolen my heart each and every day.”. The high school sweethearts got engaged in 2014 after years of dating. Their son Krew Aron Harper was born in 2019, followed by their daughter Brooklyn Elizabeth Harper’s arrival in 2020. One can often see Bryce commenting on news channels or posting on social platforms, stating how absolutely lucky he is to have his family!
