For the Dallas Cowboys quaterback, being a parent is such double blessed. Tony Romo and his wife, Candice Crawford, who wed last year, with their new addition son, Hawkins, last month has made it even sweeter.
Romo, 32-years-old, told People, “If it’s possible to bring you and your wife closer together, something like this really does.”
“It strengthens your family values and your family and the love you have, which is already really strong. It’s been a great blessing from God to put us in this situation. We feel very honored.”
Hard for him to be away from his baby and 25-years-old beautiful wife, but knowing that his wife is very supportive about his career, make it easier to be away for work.
“If you get a great wife who understands the demands of someone in athletics, I think that’s important,” Romo explains. “I was lucky enough to find someone like that. She’s a great mom and a great wife. It’s been fun just hanging out with her and my son. It’s been exciting.”
Wanted to witness every milestone that his son makes, he says, “You want to see everything. At 3 weeks old, we were having him lay down, and we put him on the floor. And all of a sudden he just rolled himself right over. That was pretty neat to see.”
Romo enjoys his fatherhood and his new role model in the athletic community. And being the face of Starter line that exclusively sold at Walmart.
“It’s a wonderful position to be in, to have the ability to affect some of America’s youth when they see you and you’re working hard and doing things the right way,” he says. “Little do you know that some of the choices that you make are being watched.”
“It’s a brand that represents high-quality performance gear at an affordable price,” he says. “Growing up, that was something I always looked for because I was going through shirts like they were water.”
