Former Seattle Seahawks standout running back Shaun Alexander let the world know on Thursday that he and his wife, Valerie, are expecting a new baby soon. While that’s maybe not big news, when people heard that this child will be the 14th child the couple has had, there were a lot of reactions.
Alexander appeared on the “Up & Adams” show on Thursday with Kay Adams, where he talked about the latest faith-based effort that he’s undertaking in life. But he also let Adams and her viewers know about his bigger news from a personal side.
What Were People Saying About Shaun Alexander’s Big News?
Alexander was an NFL Most Valuable Player during his nine-year NFL career, helping the Seahawks reach their first Super Bowl.
But Alexander has been focused on raising his family and his faith-based initiatives away from the football field. He’s been married to Valerie since 2002.
What were NFL fans and followers saying after hearing Alexander’s news? One fan headed over to X and wrote, “Bro got a whole offense already”. Another fan said, “Shaun trying to run family-only All 22.”
This fan believes that Alexander and his wife are helping to grow the population within the United States. The fan wrote, “Mr. & Mrs. Alexander trying to repopulate the US all by themselves.” Obviously, this fan loves Alexander’s news and wrote, “Shaun doesn’t miss. Congrats!”
Shaun doesn’t miss. Congrats!

Well, this person wants Alexander to have some mercy on his wife, as the fan wrote, “Give that woman a break!!!”
Could Alexander Have A Family Football Team?
Wouldn’t that be something? By the way, Alexander is actually a football coach for a team that’s put together under the umbrella of Harvest Covenant. That’s the name of Alexander’s faith-based initiative that’s very near and dear to his heart.
“Number 14 is in the belly.”

One wise-cracking fan had some thoughts about how busy Alexander has been lately. This person wrote on X, “He’s been busy in the sheets” followed by two laughing-face emojis.
It’s getting to be a packed house at the Alexander residence as the family grows by one. What’s that family dinner out for a night going to look like? This fan has an idea: “Bruh has to have a school bus to go on a family dinner.”
Bruh has to have a school bus to go on a family dinner

Maybe some fans have other things on their minds after hearing Alexander share his blessed news. This fan wrote, “Man don’t believing in pulling out”. This person believes they have some wise words for Alexander here, too, and wrote, “He needs to… and I mean this in the most respectful way possible, get off of her.”
Finally, this fan has football on the mind and posted on X, “Wow, that is almost a complete football team.”
Wow, that is almost a complete football team.

Shaun and Valerie Alexander are the parents of 13 children: Heaven, Trinity, Eden, Joseph, Justus, Temple, Honor, Jedidiah, Eternity, Hosanna, Hope, and Judea. The couple lost a child, a daughter named Torah, in 2017 when she was just two months old.
Yet the couple seems to be very much in love with one another and their children. Now, they all can get ready for another bundle of joy to bounce into their lives in the next few months.
