The news, shared via social media, has sent teammates, coaches, and fans into a frenzy of congratulations, but DeJean remains focused on his pivotal role in the 2025 season, balancing personal milestones with his professional goals.
A Heartfelt Announcement
Steph Wilfawn, a University of Iowa student and dermatology technician, took to Instagram to share the exciting news, posting a photo of herself and DeJean with a sonogram, captioned, “Our next big play!” The post, echoing her supportive game-day posts, went viral, with fans flooding the comments with hashtags like #DeJeanBaby and #EaglesFamily.

The Eagles organization joined the celebration, with head coach Nick Sirianni saying, “Coop’s a star on and off the field.

Cooper DeJean’s Grounded Response
Despite the outpouring of support, Cooper DeJean, ranked No. 60 on the NFL’s Top 100 Players of 2025, kept his focus on football. Currently taking reps at nickel, outside corner, and safety in training camp, DeJean said, “Steph and I are over the moon, but I’m locked in on helping the Eagles defend our title.” His humility shines through, reflecting his roots in Odebolt, Iowa, where he grew up as a multi-sport star. DeJean’s rookie season culminated in a historic Super Bowl LIX pick-six off Patrick Mahomes on his 22nd birthday, helping the Eagles secure a 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
DeJean’s 2024 stats—51 tackles, 6 pass breakups, 3 fumble recoveries, and a forced fumble—helped transform Philly’s pass defense from 31st to No. 1. ProFootballFocus ranked him the top cornerback in the NFL, with zero touchdowns allowed on 606 coverage snaps. His versatility, praised by defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, positions him for an even larger role in 2025.
Eagles’ Momentum and Fan Support
The announcement comes as the Eagles gear up for their 2025 season opener against the Green Bay Packers, aiming to defend their Super Bowl title. DeJean’s Super Bowl performance, celebrated by Wilfawn’s viral Instagram Story captioned “Happy Birthday @cooperdejean,” cemented his status as a fan favorite. Her custom game-day outfits, featuring DeJean’s No. 33, have become a staple, with fans now anticipating baby-themed Eagles gear.
Wilfawn, set to graduate from Iowa in 2026, has been DeJean’s biggest supporter since their college days. Her presence at the NFC Championship and Super Bowl, including a celebratory field hug, captured hearts. DeJean credits her, saying, “She’s been a trooper, there every step of the way.”
A Bright Future Ahead
As the Eagles prepare for a challenging season, the DeJean-Wilfawn pregnancy news adds a joyful narrative. Fans, already buzzing from the Super Bowl parade where Wilfawn’s custom DeJean poster stole the show, are eager for updates. Congratulations to Cooper DeJean and Steph Wilfawn on their journey to parenthood!
