Undoubtedly, Jordan Burroughs is among the handful of freestyle wrestling champions who have managed to transcend the spot to take a center in the national psyche. However, this is not the only role Jordan plays in his life. Apart from being a 6X world champion, Jordan Burroughs is a remarkable husband and a father of 4. 

Even though Jordan’s attention is always on Olympic gold, he has never failed to play the role of a father. He meticulously raised all his kids with utmost care and attention while balancing his wrestling career. Recently, the wrestler has made it into the spotlight. Not for a recent match win, but for one more exciting addition to his family news he shared through social media.

A new Burroughs set to make the mark

Recently, Jordan Burroughs took it to his Twitter account and posted a couple of pictures with his family. Alongside his four kids and wide, Jordan Burroughs’s pictures featured a new addition to the family. While posting the pictures, he penned, “Just like that, we’ve added a new wrestler to our family! The Burroughs clan is now up to 7. Welcome to the world, baby Badge! Mom and baby boy are doing great!“

Interestingly, Jordan and his wife recently completed a decade of successful married life. Now, Jordan has a clan of 7 family members, including a couple, his three daughters, a son, and a newborn. Although the 2012 Olympic champion mentioned the name Badge, he did make a gender reveal for his baby.

In a recent Instagram post, Jordan Burroughs said, “• Badge • A characteristic mark or emblem awarded for a particular accomplishment. To set something apart as ‘certified.” It seems to be that Jordan is pouring hints on completing ten years of marriage as a particular accomplishment and his newborn as a characteristic mark. But after achieving a badge in family affairs, Will Jordan be able to clinch another Olympic achievement this year?
