Dak Prescott is ready to tackle fatherhood!

On Saturday, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, 30, and girlfriend Sarah Jane Ramos revealed they are expecting their first child together — a baby girl.

 

“A little bit of heaven sent down to Earth 🤍. Our immeasurable blessing. I cannot wait to raise a strong, confident, beautiful baby girl with you @_4dak,” Ramos wrote on Instagram, tagging the NFL star and sharing a series of black-and-white maternity photos of herself.

Prescott reshared one of Ramos’ photos on his Instagram Story, declaring he’s feeling “beyond blessed” to have his first baby on the way.

“Girl dad incoming…” he added.

He also left a sweet comment on his influencer-girlfriend’s post. “How thankful I am to do this with you can’t be explained!” he told Ramos.

“God makes no mistakes and nothing is coincidental and for that, I thank Him daily!” he continued. “I love you, and y’all can always count on me ♥️🙏🏽. Let’s do this Mama 😍.”

Earlier this month, Ramos shared a glimpse of her and Prescott — who was named the 2022 Walter Payton Man of the Year — celebrating her 30th birthday. Mixed within an Instagram carousel, she included a photo of the pair enjoying a meal together. She also added a snap of her in the stands at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, taking in the on-field action while showing her team spirit in a blue and white Cowboys jacket.

“Entering a new decade with so much gratitude. I truly have everything I could wish for and have a feeling this next chapter will be the best one yet,” she wrote in the caption, seemingly referring to her and Prescott’s impending parenthood.

The pro athlete, who was selected by the Cowboys in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, recently spoke to PEOPLE about how the football field is where he finds his zen.

“Football has always been peace for me,” he explained. “It’s always been my safe haven, I guess you could say.”

“It’s a blessing to do what I love at the highest level, so I don’t take anything for granted, and I’m just ready to get out there and count some more wins,” he continued.

The Louisiana native also said he hopes fans see him as a role model, who inspires them to chase their own big dreams in life.

“I want people to understand that I’m an everyday guy, just as they are, that set a goal, and it was to be in the NFL. And I worked my butt off each and every day to get into the position that I am,” Prescott told PEOPLE.
