The NFL star shared his own reflection on their special arrival in an Instagram post, showing Chanen holding baby J'Adore just after her birth.

"What a BLESSING! A doctor in college told her she could never have kids. That she wouldn’t be able to. A year ago having a pair of miscarriages. But I know something and someone who is bigger than this giant. God has never lost. Not ONCE," the new dad wrote.

"This girl right here is one of a kind and I’m grateful that I call her my wife. God gave this little girl and this is a testament of unwavering faith. Thank you Jesus. J’adore Blessing Johnson welcome to this world princess! Daddy will alwayssss be there for you & mommy."

The couple first revealed their exciting baby news in an Instagram post in January.

"You're our dream come true👼🏽🤍 #juandchan," they captioned an Instagram Reel where the couple gazed at each other in different poses throughout a maternity shoot.

Later, the pair shared some of the photos from the shoot, where Chanen wore a silky white maxi dress while Juwan wore a button down and dress pants as they held a tiny pair of sneakers together, writing, "mom & dad 🤍" as the caption.

Juwan and Chanen met when they were both 20-year-old students at Penn State and tied the knot in Feb. 2020 after nearly three years of dating.

The meme stock crowd is expected to 'exit quickly': Expert
After re-energized enthusiasm in the meme stock trade this week, the hype seems to be fading as shares of video game retailer GameStop (GME) and movie theater chain AMC Entertainment (AMC) are sinking Wednesday morning. Financial Insyghts President Peter Atwater sits down with Morning Brief Anchors Seana Smith and Brad Smith to compare recent meme trading activity to that of the early 2021 frenzy "We should expect that as burst-filled as this last week has been, there should be a comparable bust coming in these names. The thing that distinguishes bubbles from from other kinds of behavioral patterns is that first step is the steepest," Atwater says. "So if this is an indicator of mood, we should expect these companies to leave via a high story window quite quickly."
