Toronto Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly and his wife, Tessa Virtue, have joyfully announced the birth of their son, McCormick Rielly, through an Instagram post. This is the couple's first child together.
Morgan and Tessa had revealed they were expecting back in May during a vacation at the start of the offseason, sharing the news through a series of Instagram posts.
Their recent post has garnered thousands of likes and comments, with fans showering the couple with well-wishes and congratulations.
«This is the cutest thing. Welcome to the Leafs fam baby McCormick.»
«Congratulations! So happy for you guys.»
The Instagram photos show the proud parents, Tessa and Morgan, with their newborn son, along with a few sweet images of baby McCormick on his own. In one particularly heartwarming picture, Morgan is seen giving his son a kiss.
Morgan Rielly, 30, and Tessa Virtue, 35, were married in 2023 and have kept their relationship relatively private, much to the admiration of fans who appreciate their low-key, drama-free dynamic. With Rielly now a proud father, he may find extra motivation as he heads into the upcoming season, building on last year's impressive performance of seven goals and 58 assists.
We extend our best wishes to Morgan, Tessa, and baby McCormick as they begin this exciting new chapter in their lives.
