“Don’t Want to Deprive Her of That” – NFL Star and Soccer Husband JJ Watt Ready to Help Wife Kealia Balance Motherhood and NWSL Career

Being a parent can be overwhelming, with new responsibilities, new schedules, and having someone who needs extra care. Being a parent can be significantly increased if both parents are pro athletes. They have to think about the game, dedicate the required time to the sport and training, and fulfill their duty as a parent. The story of the star couple defensive end JJ Watt and NWSL Forward Kealia Watt is the same. Both have a big career on their hands playing at the top level of their sports in the country.

They were both blessed with a son 7 weeks ago and are handling being athlete’s parents well. Kealia hasn’t played a match since November 2021 when she tore her ACL and announced pregnancy during recovery. According to the couple, Kealia will be staying at home for about a month, and then they will try to work a schedule out as the soccer player will be going for training to bring her body to recover and work out.
