In an exciting twist to a memorable week for the Los Angeles Rams, head coach Sean McVay announced the birth of his second child just hours after his team secured a playoff berth. McVay shared the joyous news during a press conference on Tuesday, revealing that his wife, Veronika Khomyn, delivered their new son, Christian Alexander McVay, early Monday morning. The baby’s arrival came less than a day after the Rams triumphed over the Detroit Lions with a thrilling 41-34 victory that confirmed their spot in the postseason.
Both Veronika and the newborn are reported to be healthy and in good spirits. The Rams embraced the occasion with creativity, announcing the birth on their social media channels. They celebrated the new addition to the McVay family by posting a playful message framed as a team “transaction” alongside an image of a Rams jersey adorned with the number two. The team’s Instagram caption warmly congratulated the McVay family, stating, “Congratulations to the McVay family! 🥰”
This new family member joins the couple’s firstborn son, Jordan John McVay, who was welcomed into the world in October 2023. At that time, the Rams also utilized their social media platforms to announce Jordan’s birth with a similar playful post.
Sean McVay and Veronika Khomyn began their relationship while McVay was part of the Washington Commanders coaching staff. They became engaged in 2019 and celebrated their marriage in Los Angeles in 2022.
As the Rams prepare for a critical game against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night—one that will greatly influence the NFC West standings, with both teams currently sporting identical 11-3 records—McVay faces the challenge of balancing his responsibilities as both a father and a coach. The highly anticipated matchup will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET at Lumen Field in Seattle.
This exciting chapter for the McVay family highlights the joyous moments in both personal and professional spheres, reminding fans of the importance of family support during the high-pressure season of football.
