American football player and commentator, Richard Griffin IIand his wife, the Estonian heptathlete Grete SadeikoThey had a hectic but very sweet end of the year.
On December 31st, in the middle of New Year’s Eve, the 29-year-old woman went into labor and, as soon as he found out, he abandoned a live broadcast to travel to see it and don’t miss anything.

In the clip, which Griffin himself shared on Instagram, we see Richard answering the phone, telling Aria he has to go, and one of his colleagues congratulates him. The camera then humorously follows him until he leaves the stadium.
End of the year to pure love
As a New Year’s message, Grete acknowledged her husband’s gesture and, incidentally, revealed that it was “a dramatic entrance“from his daughter.
“The girl tried to make a dramatic entrance last night in 2023, but decided it wasn’t time yet”, wrote the athlete.
About her “hero”, Šadeiko said: “I called him while he was on live TV hoping I wouldn’t be able to reach him, but I guess when your wife is 9 months pregnant and she calls you, you pick up the phone it doesn’t matter what are you doing, hey?”
“All I had to say was the word ‘work’ and this man STOP CALLING A BUSHING GAME and ran in his car to get to the airport for a 4 hour flight home,” she continued.
On the other hand, during a road trip where his wife was, Griffin wrote on Instagram, “The joy this woman brings into my life is immeasurable. Her smile brightens my day, her laughter warms my soul, and her love keeps the wind under my wings so I can fly.”
“My life changed for the better the day you walked into it and I’m grateful that you gave me the opportunity to love you. WE ARE GOING TO ROCK 2023 EVEN HARDER!!” she concluded.
The girl they are expecting will be their third child together and the athlete’s fourth. Griffin and Šadeiko got engaged on May 13, 2017 and married on March 10, 2018.
