Abigail (Abby) Sufficool Warner took to her IG handle to share the heartwarming news, with a radiant photoshoot alongside her husband, Kade. Wearing coordinated white shirts and classic blue jeans, the couple held ultrasound photos with Abby proudly showing off her growing baby bump. Her simple caption read, “Mom and dad.” In a follow-up IG Story shared 14 weeks ago, Abby had teased their secret with a quiet confession. She revealed, “Our little secret the last 5 months… baby Warner coming in July.”
Soon after, she posted a humorous reel featuring Kade, as she wrote, “mood when you realize you have 4 months until you’re on diaper duty.” The couple dated for over five years, getting engaged on Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023. They tied the knots on February 17, 2024, with their close family and friends. Abby marked the day on Instagram with a beautiful post captioned, “2/17/24.”

However, he went unrecruited. He walked on at Nebraska (2017–2020), earning a team captain role and Academic All-Big Ten honors. In 2021, he transferred to Kansas State, emerging as a key contributor and leader. Undrafted in 2023, Kade signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, debuting in the same stadium where his father Kurt played in Super Bowl XLIII. He later played for the Houston Roughnecks and San Antonio Brahmas in the UFL.
Now, he has taken the coaching role with full enthusiasm. He credits his father for shaping his football mind. He remarked earlier, “I’m the smartest receiver in this draft class… 90% of that is because of who my dad is… He’s the greatest coach I’ve ever had.” And, even Kurt is full of praise for his son. Kurt earlier said via a tweet on Dec 4 last year, calling Kade an “unbelievable kid & really smart football guy!” Truly, the father-son bond never fails to win our hearts.
