Jordan Spieth casually dropped the news that he and his wife, Annie, are expecting their third baby.
During a Wednesday, February 19, appearance on “The Smylie Show,” the professional golfer — who shares son Sammy, 3, and daughter Sophie, 17 months, with his wife — was asked by host Smylie Kaufman how he spent his offseason.
“We have a third coming in July, so it’s busy,” Spieth, 31, announced.
He added, “My son turned 3 in November, so we had his birthday and stuff. He loves monster trucks, we were at the monster truck rally. My daughter turned 1 in September, so we had her birthday right after we got home from Colorado after I had my surgery.”

Professional golfer Jordan Spieth and his wife, Annie Verret, tied the knot in 2018, but they met years earlier — while in high school in Texas. Verret, a former event planner, has been by her husband’s side throughout his rise through the ranks of golf, from his 2012 decision to turn pro during his sophomore […]
Spieth underwent left wrist surgery in August 2024, which largely kept him away from the game of golf for an extended period of time. He made his first start of the PGA Tour season at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on January 30, 2025.
“I wasn’t searching for things to do,” Spieth said of his recovery from surgery. “There were certain days during nap [time] where I was like, ‘I wish I could do something, the weather is great,’ or whatever. You’re kind of chipping or putting one-handed.”
Spieth, who lives in Dallas, said he “went to a lot of football games” during his time off and was “home mostly until Christmas.”
“Then we got out of the house a lot,” he continued. “We went to Austin, we went to Mexico. We’ve been out of town a lot since Christmas, which I think was a good thing. Everywhere we went I played a lot of golf, too.”
Spieth added, “It was a fun fall. It reminded me that maybe I need to take some falls a little less seriously. Take some time away from the game. Maybe not as much as I did, but it sometimes doesn’t hurt to take a few weeks.”
In September 2024, shortly after Spieth’s surgery, he gushed about the chance he had been given to slow down with his family.
“I’m loving being a dad,” he told Golfweek. “It’s cool to have this time during the day with my kids, too. I can do half of what I can normally do. I’ve gotta pawn off the diaper changing and some of the stuff that obviously requires two hands. But it’s a unique opportunity right now, and I’m kind of embracing being home.”
Spieth added, “I like to think of myself as a very active dad. I’ve always been very involved and my family has traveled with me almost every single week on the road. I don’t get home and take a break. I go play. I just like it. But I have a massively increased respect for moms and single parents and stuff. Because it is tough work, raising these two kids. You see it a little more firsthand when it’s day in and day out. But it is the most rewarding work that there is.”
