Dolphins LB Jaelan Phillips and his fiancée Samantha scream with joy as couple find out the sex of their baby at a reveal party [PHOTOS]

Miami Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips and his fiancée Samantha are celebrating a joyous new season of their lives together. The two got engaged in August and announced they were expecting their first child, due in March 2026.

At a gender reveal party on Saturday, they stood on a stage as blue smoke billowed into the air behind them, signaling they were having a baby boy.

The moment was met with sheer excitement on their part as they were seen screaming with joy and hugging each other upon hearing the news.

Their relationship is deeply rooted. Jaelan and Samantha first met as classmates in fourth grade, when she wanted him on her team for a game of capture the flag. They dated briefly in high school but separated after graduation, only staying in contact occasionally.

They met again during college summer break, when a casual outing for burritos and pedicures at a local salon rekindled their connection, according to The Athletic. Their story came full circle with a proposal in August. Sharing the moment on Instagram, Phillips posted photos from the day and wrote:

“I thank God every day that you came back into my life. You were the first person I fell in love with and the last person I will ever love. I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together ❤️”

Jaelan Phillips focuses on positives after loss to Panthers

While Jaelan Phillips“Personal life has been amazing, things haven't gone well on the pitch for his team.

THE Miami Dolphins lost 27-24 to the Carolina Panthers in Week 5, despite taking an early 17-0 lead. Phillips played well individually, finishing with three tackles, a sack and two quarterback hits in 53 snaps. After the match, he tried to focus on the positives.

“I think there's a lot of positives to take away, even as a defense, the way we really played in the first half and the turnovers, that's something we emphasized,” Phillips said.

“It's not like we're just a dumpster fire and we can't do anything right. I think we're doing a lot of good things; we just have to marry those good things together and continue to play complementary football and take advantage of the dynamic changes and not fold when we're up 17-0.”

The Dolphins are 1-4 heading into their home game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
