Win or lose, Jarrett Stidham<\/a> always heads home to his favorite cheering section: his wife, Kennedy Stidham, and their three children.\n<\/p>\n The Denver Broncos quarterback married his college sweetheart, Kennedy, in June 2019, and the pair became first-time parents three years later, with the arrival of their daughter Lennon<\/a> in April 2022.\n<\/p>\n Jarrett and Kennedy’s family expanded in March 2024 when they welcomed son Madden<\/a>, and in October 2025, they officially became a family of five with the birth of their second daughter, Nella<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n Growing their family has always been part of the vision. In a September 2023 vlog shared on her YouTube<\/a> channel, Kennedy revealed that the couple had long dreamed of having a big family. \u201cI would love four,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n Despite the grind of an NFL career, Jarrett is savoring life as a dad. In March 2025, he wrote on Instagram<\/a> that being a father is his \u201cbiggest blessing.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Here’s everything to know about Jarrett Stidham’s three kids: Lennon, Madden and Nella.\n<\/p>\n Lennon Love Stidham, 3 <\/p>\n Jarrett Stidham with his daughter Lennon in July 2025.<\/p>\n Jarrett Stidham\/Instagram<\/p>\n Jarrett and Kennedy welcomed their first child, daughter Lennon Love, on April 1, 2022.\n<\/p>\n Lennon\u2019s middle name carries special meaning for the Stidham family. It\u2019s inspired by 1 Corinthians 13:13: \u201cAnd now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.\u201d Kennedy\u2019s own middle name is Faith, while her sister Addison’s middle name is Hope.\n<\/p>\n Because Kennedy’s mother never used Love as a middle name for two of her daughters, Kennedy always planned to complete the verse herself.\n<\/p>\n \u201cSince I was little, I [said] I was going to complete the Bible verse with my first child,\u201d she shared on YouTube<\/a> in June 2022. \u201cI just think it\u2019s so special.\u201d\n<\/p>\n In April 2025, Jarrett and Kennedy threw Lennon a princess-themed third birthday party.\n<\/p>\n “Happy 3rd birthday to my little princess.

Instead, he returned to Denver to witness Nella\u2019s birth before heading across the pond.\n<\/p>\n “The ownership, the coaches, they’re all so supportive and so amazing. We wouldn’t have asked that if we didn’t think this child was coming,” Kennedy shared on YouTube<\/a> in her birth vlog.\n<\/p>\n The mom of three went on to reveal that Nella’s middle name was chosen to honor Kennedy’s mom, Janice Jay Brown.\n<\/p>\n “My mom was bawling,” she continued. “I’m just glad that Jarrett loves my mom and dad as much as I do. It’s fun to name my kids after them.”<\/p>\n
