LA Rams star Van Jefferson’s wife stretchered out of Super Bowl in LABOUR – minutes before hubby beat Cincinnati Bengals
LA RAMS star Van Jefferson's wife went into labour at the stadium while watching her husband in action during the Super Bowl.
Jefferson, 25, was part of the Rams side that pulled off a stunning comeback to win the sport's most glittering prize by beating the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20.
NFL Network reporter Bridget Condon wrote on Twitter that she 'saw Van Jefferson's wife Samaria leaving the stadium on a stretcher about to have their baby'.
Condon ended her tweet with: "Talk about dedication."
The incident is believed to have happened in the fourth quarter at the SoFi Stadium, where the Rams trailed the Bengals 20-16 at that point.
The American Football star later shared a cute photo of him cradling his new-born child on Instagram, captioned 'X2'.
The couple are welcoming their second child into the world to join five-year-old daughter Bella.
Jefferson was forced to cut short his celebrations at the final whistle to rush to the hospital to be with his wife.

The couple's scheduled due date was February 17.
Speaking about her upcoming new arrival before the blockbuster clash, Samaria told : “I’m feeling pretty good — I’m definitely feeling 40 weeks (pregnant).
“I’m definitely feeling the pressure and the pain. Nerves for Van, nerves for our family — but it’s OK.”
“I’m excited about it,” husband Van Jefferson added ahead of the game.
“Excited to play in the Super Bowl as well. … Two things going on. I’m happy about both of them.
"Maybe he can wait just a little bit longer, until after the Super Bowl!”
