Romo’s New Role… Dad!

Forget completing passes, avoiding sacks and leading America’s Team to victory… Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is preparing for the biggest challenge of his life… fatherhood!

Tony Romo and Candice Crawford Expecting First Child

During an appearance at a Dallas-area high school with teammate Miles Austin, a student asked the 31-year-old three-time Pro Bowl selection if he had children.

“Um, no, I don’t have any kids,” responded Romo, who married Candice Crawford this past Memorial Day weekend at a lavish ceremony in Dallas six months after proposing to the former beauty queen at her 24th birthday party. “I’ve actually got one on the way. My wife’s pregnant.”

As the students clapped, the Mexican-American football star smiled, raised his fist and said, “It’ll be fun.”

This will be the couple’s first child.

No due date was revealed.
