Jena Sims is a mother now!

Sims and Koepka had quite a troublesome pregnancy together. The LIV golfer tried to be there mostly, but because of his tough and tight professional golf routine, it used to become impossible to attend to his wife sometimes. So in those instances, they had to exchange updates via FaceTime. Sometimes, these seemed overwhelming to Jena since she needed her husband beside her. And on the other hand, Koepka was also nervous about his role because becoming a father is tantamount to fathoming a completely different phase of life, given that another life would be dependent on him.

On July 27th, around 5:50 pm, Koepka came home from the gym and took her to the hospital. From reports, it has also been gathered that Jena underwent a C-section delivery.
