The Dallas Cowboys quarterback shared the news on his Instagram account. He and girlfriend Sarah Jane Ramos are expecting a baby girl in early March.

“We’ve known for a long time what we were going to be having,” Prescott said Monday. “Just to be honest and candid, I wasn’t waiting for any particular time. … It hasn’t necessarily been a secret, but more than anything, for me, it’s about protecting her and just understanding fans can be fans. There’s no reason for them to be bothering her, for her to get the nasty messages that people want to send me that I deserve and no one else does. I think that’s part of it. I think ultimately, the main reason was she was tired of hiding it in pictures, I guess. Now, the bump is a little bit too big and hard to hide.”
