Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
After his fifth-year option was picked up by the Dolphins in March 2023, Tua admitted to reporters that he considered retiring after his injury-marred 2022 season.<\/p>\n
And not least because he had so many wonderful things to stay home for.<\/p>\n
“Never one to put my private life out there. But this one deserved a post,” Tua wrote on July 17, 2023, sharing a one-time-only snap<\/a> of his love Annah Tagovailoa<\/strong>. “Happy 1 Year Anniversary to my beautiful wife. I love you.”<\/p>\n In a rare peek into his off-field world<\/a>, Tua told reporters in November 2022 that he was thankful for his wife and new baby (son Ace<\/strong>, born in August 2022, made his public debut<\/a> at the Tua Foundation luau benefit the following April).<\/p>\n “It’s very unique how having a child impacts how you see things differently in life. It\u2019s like nothing that I\u2019ve experienced,” Tua said. “There\u2019s no playbook for this because everyone\u2019s experience is different, whether you\u2019re having a boy first or a girl.”<\/p>\n That being said, he added, “I thank my heavenly Father up above that I got a boy first. Oh, man. I don\u2019t know what I\u2019d do if I had a girl. It’d be a little harder, I think, because I wouldn\u2019t know what to do necessarily.”<\/span><\/p>\n Tua and Anna have since welcomed daughter Maisey<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
