In a news conference last week, Baker said that he would allow his to-be-born son to choose any career path he desires.

“We did just a little private reveal,” Mayfield said. ”Just the fam. But yeah, obviously fun. Everybody is like, ‘Are you going to let him play football?’ Do whatever you want.”

Baker also joked about the expectations around being a father to a boy.

“My parents didn’t want me to play football at a certain point, when your kid wants to do something you encourage him to do whatever he wants to do … I’m going to have a little sh*thead on my hands,” Mayfield said.

Baker and Emily reportedly met in 2017 via a mutual friend, and hit if off. They married in July 2019.
