Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence, wife Marissa reveal gender of first baby
Days after announcing " a little Lawrence is on the way ," parents-to-be Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and his wife, Marissa, on Sunday had another announcement: that they would welcome a baby girl to their family.
The couple shared the news of their first child with friends and family at a holiday weekend gender reveal party and with the rest of the world on Instagram.
"Baby Girl, Mom & Dad can't wait to meet you!!" Marissa wrote in a post on Sunday, sharing photos from the ice cream-themed event staged by Love, Gigi Event Design Haus, where she serves as lead event designer.
Standing in front of pink and blue balloon-adorned, popsicle-shaped signs reading "What's the scoop?" and beside an oversized ice cream cone, Marissa and Trevor revealed they were having a girl as they squeezed pink syrup from Hershey chocolate syrup bottles onto the ice cream cone as pink smoke was set off behind them.
"He's going to be the best girl dad I can't handle it," Marissa wrote about Trevor in a separate Instagram Stories post recounting the event and sharing new details.
In addition to create-your-own charcuterie boards, the event included an ice cream bar featuring ice cream flavors Cookies and Cream, Cotton Candy Explosion (Marissa's favorite), Mint Chocolate Chip, Strawberry Sorbet and Turtle.
Guests customized their creamy confections at an ice cream toppings wall featuring champagne glasses filled with sprinkles, gummies and more. Wooden spoons with the words "Baby Lawrence" on them were provided.
Lunch featured a selection of subs from Jacksonville-based Firehouse Subs, also a favorite of Marissa's.

"We are so grateful for our family and friends. This whole weekend was so special just getting to hang out and be together. It was perfect ad everything we needed!" Marissa wrote in the social post. "Me and Trev found out about baby girl just us two earlier in the week and it was soooo fun getting to surprise everyone. She is going to be so spoiled."
News of the couple's pregnancy came just days after Trevor Lawrence signed a $275 million contract extension with the Jaguars, making him the highest-paid quarterback in the league just three years after he was drafted by the team with the first-overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
