It is great news for him and his extended family, the LA Rams.

On June 19, 2025, Veronika Khomyn announced that she was expecting a baby boy. So, it was just a matter of time before the couple welcomed a new member to their family. During a video conference with reporters on Tuesday, Sean McVay announced the name of his son, Christian Alexander McVay.

It is not the first time the couple has become parents. They welcomed their firstborn, Jordan John McVay, in October 2023. It was after a year of their marriage on June 4, 2022.

While it is a day for celebrations for the McVays, the LA Rams’ head coach will also be wary of their next game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Week 16 will determine the leader of the NFC West

The 11-3 LA Rams have been one of the most successful teams in the NFC this season. They have lost only once during the last nine games. While they seem to be at the peak of their momentum, their next game is against divisional opponents, the Seattle Seahawks.

The 11-3 Seahawks are 2nd in the NFC West, breathing down the Rams’ necks. Whichever team wins the game will become one step closer to the top seed and the division. Moreover, if Los Angeles loses, the 10-4 Bears and the 10-4 49ers are also there to take advantage of the situation.

The Rams are also facing an internal problem with Davante Adams’ injury. He was already suffering from a mild hamstring issue. Playing against the Lions worsened it. With 12:42 remaining on the clock, he crashed near the end of his route, falling to the ground.

Despite his injury, the HC is not losing hope that the WR will return soon, especially since he has been one of the best in the league.

“(Adams) was optimistic, talking to him,” said Sean McVay. “He knows his body really well. … We’ll see what that means. I can’t imagine that’s good for Thursday with just the short amount of time, but I certainly wouldn’t rule him out quite yet. But it didn’t look good.”

He made 60 receptions for 789 yards and scored 14 touchdowns. He has the most touchdowns in the league as a WR. So, his absence might prove costly for them.

Nonetheless, the Rams will be on the road on Thursday to face the Seahawks at Lumen Field. The game has the potential to change the NFC scenario. Can the Rams brighten up Sean McVay’s week even more, or will they slip to the second position? All shall be answered in a couple of days.
