Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock and his wife, Natalie, are preparing to welcome a third child. The couple announced the news on Wednesday, sharing a family photo on social media that included their two children, son Layton and daughter Landry.
The sepia-toned photo booth strip shows the family smiling together. In several frames, Natalie holds up ultrasound pictures. She captioned the post, “you & me + 3 🤍.”
Lock later told reporters that the baby is due in May 2027. Speaking ahead of Seattle’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, he reflected on the significance of the city to his family.
“Two children here, married here, being able to, you know, have hopes and the dreams of the third, you know, God willing, being with us here soon, soonish,” Lock said. “Love this place. It’s always good feelings, good vibes, and excited to play on Sunday.”
Seattle is scheduled to face the Raiders this weekend. For Lock, the upcoming arrival adds another milestone to a family life he has built in the city.
## A Growing Family
Drew and Natalie have been together since 2019, the year he was drafted. Lock proposed in February 2022, and the couple married in 2023. They welcomed their first child, Layton, in 2024, followed by Landry a year later.
Lock has spoken warmly about becoming a father. In 2025, while Natalie was pregnant with Landry, he described the bond he felt with his children.
“Having a baby that knows nothing other than loving you and us spending time together, it really, really separates the two, it’s nice,” he said.
The announcement of the couple’s third child drew affectionate responses from friends, teammates and others connected to the NFL. Katie Hoofnagle, the wife of Lock’s teammate Sam Darnold, reacted with an enthusiastic “Yayay!!!!”
Hillary, the wife of quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, also left a congratulatory message, writing, “Congrats 🤍🤍🤍🤍.” Wide receiver Darius Slayton responded with a prayer emoji, while former Seahawks player Cade Johnson commented, “Keep em coming!!! Congrats locks.”
Seattle’s mascot, Blitz, joined the well-wishers too, writing, “Another baby Lock to hang out with!!!!”
## Lock’s Role on the Field
The family news comes during a busy stretch for Lock on the field. He has spent much of the season stepping in for Sam Darnold, who has been sidelined by injury.
Lock entered the season opener in the first quarter after Darnold hurt his glute. He completed the game with 187 passing yards and a touchdown as Seattle earned a 13–10 victory.
He started the following game against the Arizona Cardinals and threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns in the Seahawks’ 31–7 win. When Darnold was sidelined again in Week 9, Lock started against Arizona once more. He passed for 175 yards and connected with AJ Barner for a touchdown in Seattle’s 17–3 home victory.
With Darnold out again, Lock is expected to start against the Raiders. He has also been dealing with injuries of his own: an elbow issue that was already bothering him before Week 9 and an oblique injury sustained during the win over Arizona.
As he prepares for the upcoming game, Lock is balancing his responsibilities as Seattle’s quarterback with the excitement of another child on the way. The announcement has brought warm wishes from across the football community, as Drew and Natalie look ahead to welcoming their third baby and the next chapter for their family.
