Brooks Koepka and wife Jena Sims expecting their first child together

Winning the 2023 PGA Championship hasn’t been the only news that Brooks Koepka has been in the headlines for. Earlier in May, Koepka and his dear wife Jena Sims announced that they were expecting their first child after a year of tying the knot. The excitement that followed next was unsurpassed. Ever since sharing their big news online, Jena has been more active on social media about everything pregnancy related. However, she was very good at hiding the gender of their little ball of happiness.

But Koepka couldn’t keep calm and he accidentally went on to reveal the baby’s gender. But the immense love that the couple share resulted in Jena not being mad at her husband for ruining her baby’s gender reveal. She still posted a video for the gender reveal letting fans know that she’s okay with it. Well, that’s the level of love one needs in life.
