So many comments from butthurt dudes complaining about the timing and whether or not he can be locked in. Like seriously? It's his life, seems like the dumbest thing ever to complain about. People are bizarre. My first thought was congratulations

September? They couldn't have picked April or May? And what's with this living in sin, engaging in pre-marital sex?

Don't ever read the comments, lol. Toxic idiots galore. Its mind blowing how stupid people are. Yeah, JJ is the first NFL player to have kids while playing in the NFL.... ;)  If Phillip Rivers can raise a minor league baseball team worth of kids, I think JJM will be ok. Mama and Mama's family will doing the heavy lifting.

Lol that rabbit hole is insane. They are mad that he didn't wait. Or that he's not married. Or congratulating him on the sex. Or asking if he is sure he is the father. These dudes are weird and probably never leave the house. It's so strange

My first reaction was...been there, done that. But congratulations on becoming new parents.

Congrats and best wishes right?

Man, I would not have been ready to be a dad at 22 though.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

I was a Dad at 28 the first time, and I sometimes wonder if I was mentally ready then?
Happy for them both.

Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

Hope he knows what he's doing! That would have been a lot for me at 22 but they'll have family I assume, and money to help. Wishing them all the best.

I don't think any man is ready to be a dad until it happens.  Then they rise to the occasion (or not) and become a father.

Happy accident I think, at least that's what Katya refers to. Definitely unplanned but not necessarily unwanted. Timing is horrible for September, lmao. Maybe one of their family members can plan major surgery for September as well. ;)

I was a father at 22 yrs. old and I was not happy about it. I figured I had a few more years to go before I had to act like a responsible adult. The missus was ecstatic about it. But, my two kids (in their 40s now) were great kids and a blessing.

I mean I became a mom at 25 and it made life even more amazing. I think so many people are being absolutely ridiculous and unreasonable about this. Like JJM doesn't need the fans permission to be a dad

He's going to be a dad to a lot of players in the league pretty soon too.

You don't think he should've checked with the Longship first? After all we've done? I mean, how rude.
