The 2024 NASCAR season has been tough on JGR driver Denny Hamlin. But a major blessing in his personal life is all set to make the end of the year a merrier and happier one for him. For those guessing, the new update is not entirely about the holidays and Christmas celebration. It’s about the arrival of his third child with fiancée Jordan Fish.

Taking to Instagram, the couple shared the news about being the parents for the third time. “The more, the Merrier. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁” This was the caption of the post shared by the JGR driver and his partner. The social media post had dual messages from the Hamlin family; the first photo was of the entire Hamlin family wishing everyone “Merry Christmas.” The second photo revealed the news about the family of four, soon extending to five members. June is the month when the couple will become parents for the third time.

Hamlin’s daughters Taylor and Molly held the sonographic photos of their soon-to-be sibling. This marked the second massive personal milestone for the JGR driver after he got engaged to Jordan earlier this year. He started the year by announcing his engagement and ended the year with the news of being a father for the third time. It’s fair to say Denny Hamlin is winning on and off the racetrack.

As soon as the couple made this news public on social media, the comments section flooded with congratulatory messages. Prominent NASCAR personalities and fans joined in sending their best wishes to the entire Hamlin family.

NASCAR fans react to year-end surprise by Denny Hamlin and Jordan Fish

Just like Jordan Fish, Kyle Busch’s wife, Samantha, is active on social media and often reacts to Jordan’s posts with sweet comments and reactions. She was one of the first ones to send out her best wishes to the entire family. “Congrats!! ❤️❤️❤️”

We have seen NASCAR drivers tease the arrival of their newborns. Bubba Wallace and Leah Pruett both kept the racing community in the loop about their plans to become parents for the first time. However, Hamlin never once hinted about his plans to extend the family with her partner. This is why his ardent supporters are in complete shock after he dropped the huge news. “WHATTTTTTTTT.”

Speaking of hints, Jordan Fish just might have dropped one recently. Taking to Instagram, she revealed a huge package, a gift that was left on their front door. Molly was super excited to see what was inside the gift box, but it came with a message: “Open me tomorrow.” Now we know the reason behind the mystery of that gift box. And this indeed was the perfect Christmas present the entire Hamlin family could’ve wished for. “Congrats! That’s A Helluva Christmas Gift Right There.”

This fan made the most of this moment and had a special congratulatory message for Hamlin and his family. “denny jr before GTA 6.” The game has been in development for more than 10 years now and is expected to launch in the fall of 2025. But who knows? Before the games launch, Hamlin might just clinch his first-ever championship.

More fans chimed in with their warm wishes and congratulatory messages, “Congratulations to the Hamlins!!! Merry Christmas to my Favorite Race Car Driver #11 and his beautiful family ❤️💚🎄🎅🙏🏼.” While another Instagram user wrote, alluding to the fact that both his kids so far have been girls, “A new Denny Hamlin? Or another girl.”

2024 has been a tough year for Hamlin; he didn’t make it to the championship race, lost his major sponsor FedEx, and is embroiled in a legal battle with NASCAR. So it’s fair to say this news is going to fill him with more joy and confidence before heading into the next year.
