The former Cubs star, who most recently played for the Yankees, announced on social media Thursday that he and his wife Emily Rizzo are expecting
The adorable announcement featured the couple’s beloved dog wearing a “big brother” bandana and standing alongside a set of ultrasound photos. A onesie in the background appears to hint at a June 2025 due date.

The couple wed in a Florida ceremony in 2018, with several Cubs players in attendance at the time.
Rizzo returned to Wrigley Field for the first time since being traded to New York last September. He remains a fan favorite in Chicago, however, having cemented a legacy in the city that culminated with the 2016 World Series win.
And his Cubs teammates were among those congratulating him on his latest milestone.
“Congrats bro to you and @rizzoem,” Dexter Fowler wrote.
“Papa Tony,” Ian Happ commented.

“Congrats rizzo!! chicago will love you forever,” one commenter wrote.
“Congratulations!! You and Emily will be such great parents! Hope to see you back with the Cubs organization someday,” another commented.
