Jessie James Decker and Eric Decker’s fourth baby has arrived.
The singer gave birth on Feb. 9, she revealed on Instagram Sunday.
“Our beautiful boy is here 💙 Denver Calloway Decker 8.7 2/9/24 💙,” Jessie wrote alongside a photo of her and Eric cradling their baby as well as a solo shot of little Denver.

The couple’s infant joins older siblings Vivianne, 9, Eric. Jr., 8, and Forrest, 8.
Jessie debuted her baby bump in August 2023, telling her Instagram followers that she and the retired NFL player were expanding their family.
The Kittenish creator, 35, wrote on her Story at the time that the “extremely shocking” pregnancy was “not planned.”
Prior to her positive test, Jessie had been telling her husband that “it was probably time to get a vasectomy because [she] felt like [they] were done” having kids.

“But … God always has other plans,” she explained, adding that they were “over the moon” about the surprise.
Jessie, who married Eric in June 2013, had been vocal for years about the former athlete’s vasectomy refusal.
The ex wide receiver thought that the procedure would “take his manhood away from him,” she told Us Weekly in a January 2023 interview.

The previous year, Jessie said that the surgery was “TBD” because her 36-year-old partner “wouldn’t book it.”
The former Denver Broncos player admitted he was “a little nervous about it,” explaining, “It’s a little power being taken. That’s how I feel.”

As for baby No. 5, Jessie asked that the outlet not even question her about the possibility in September 2023 as there was “no way” she’d conceive another.

The songwriter became a mom in 2014 when daughter Vivianne arrived, followed by son Eric Jr. and son Forrest in 2015 and 2018, respectively.
With three little ones at home, however, Jessie shared with “Entertainment Tonight” that she “always” felt like she had another family member” in her future.
The “very intuitive” fashion designer said, “I have these dreams. … When we’re with the kids and we’re all, like, holding hands walking somewhere, I’d always be like, ‘We’re missing one.’”
