25 MINUTES AGO: Dallas Cowboys Star Brandon Aubrey Steps In As Guardian for Abandoned Newborn Found in Park
“No child deserves to start life alone”—Aubrey pledges full financial support until the child turns 18
In a story that has stunned and inspired the nation, a newborn baby was found abandoned in a Dallas-area park earlier today—wrapped in a thin blanket and left just yards from a residential neighborhood. But while the tragedy of the infant’s abandonment shocked local residents, what happened next is nothing short of extraordinary.
Brandon Aubrey, star kicker for the Dallas Cowboys, has stepped forward to take legal guardianship of the baby, offering not just a home, but a future. According to his public statement released minutes ago, Aubrey has pledged to cover all living expenses for the child until adulthood—housing, education, healthcare, and more.
“My Heart Broke When I Heard”
Aubrey, a rising NFL star and former MLS player turned football standout, shared the following on social media:
“When I heard about the baby left in the park, my heart broke. I just kept thinking—what if that was my child? No child should start life abandoned, cold, and alone. My wife and I knew we had to do something.”
He continued:
“We are opening our home and hearts to this precious soul. We’ll cover every expense and make sure this baby grows up knowing they are deeply loved and never alone.”
Discovery of the Newborn
The infant—believed to be no more than a few hours old—was discovered by a jogger at approximately 6:45 AM local time in Kidd Springs Park, just outside the Bishop Arts District. Authorities say the baby was found crying but otherwise in stable condition, thanks to unseasonably warm weather overnight. Paramedics rushed the child to Children’s Medical Center Dallas for evaluation.
Dallas police are currently investigating, and are seeking information on the mother or any witnesses who may have seen suspicious activity in the area.
Community and Fans React
The reaction to Aubrey’s gesture has been overwhelming. Social media platforms flooded with messages of admiration and support for the NFL player. The hashtag #AubreyAngels began trending within an hour of the announcement.
One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“Brandon Aubrey isn’t just a Cowboy—he’s a hero. What an incredible act of compassion and courage.”
Another commented:
“In a world full of chaos and pain, this story just restored my faith in humanity.”
Aubrey’s Rising Role On and Off the Field
Aubrey, who made headlines this past NFL season with his near-perfect field goal record, has quickly become a fan favorite. But now, his legacy appears to be extending far beyond football.
Known for his quiet demeanor and strong family values, Aubrey’s decision to take guardianship of the child reflects a deep personal commitment to service and faith. He and his wife, Rachel, are parents to two children and have been vocal about their desire to foster or adopt in the future.
This time, the future came knocking unexpectedly—but they answered.
Legal Process Underway
Sources close to the family confirm that Aubrey has already begun the legal process of securing temporary guardianship, with intentions of pursuing full adoption if possible. Dallas Child Protective Services is reportedly coordinating with the family to expedite proceedings, given the exceptional circumstances.
Final Words from Aubrey
In closing his statement, Aubrey said:
“God doesn’t make mistakes. This child is not forgotten. This child is chosen.”
