Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, wife expecting first child

June 27 (UPI) -- Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and his wife, Marissa, are expecting their first child, they announced Thursday on Instagram.

"A little Lawrence on the way," the couple wrote in a shared post on the social media platform.

The Lawrences, who started dating at Cartersville High School in Cartersville, Ga., married in 2021 after Trevor played football at Clemson and Marissa played soccer at Anderson University.

In their post Thursday, the Lawrences included photos of themselves holding sonogram pictures, but did not say if they were expecting a boy or girl.
