Philadelphia, PA – NFL wide receiver Parris Campbell, currently a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, stunned fans and the football world alike on March 21, 2025, with a deeply personal and unexpected life announcement. In a heartfelt statement shared via his social media accounts this morning, the 27-year-old Akron, Ohio native revealed that he and his wife, Taylor, are expecting twins later this year—a joyous milestone that comes after a challenging period for the couple, including a public contemplation of retirement from football just months ago.
Campbell, who has bounced between the Eagles’ practice squad and active roster this season, captioned the announcement with a mix of gratitude and emotion: “Life has a way of surprising you when you least expect it. Taylor and I are beyond blessed to share that we’re welcoming twins into our family. After everything we’ve been through, this feels like a miracle. Thank you to everyone who’s stood by us—God is good.” The post included a photo of the couple holding a sonogram image, with their two existing children, Kai and Skylar, beaming alongside them.
The news comes as a shock to fans who’ve followed Campbell’s rollercoaster journey in the NFL. Drafted in the second round by the Indianapolis Colts in 2019, Campbell has battled persistent injuries—ranging from a broken foot to a knee injury—that threatened to derail his career. After stints with the New York Giants and now the Eagles, he nearly walked away from the game last August, only to be persuaded by a call from Eagles coach Nick Sirianni to stay the course. His resilience paid off, culminating in a Super Bowl appearance earlier this year with Philadelphia, where he played a supporting role in their championship push.
Fans flooded social media with reactions, many expressing awe at Campbell’s perseverance both on and off the field. “From almost retiring to twins on the way? Parris Campbell’s story is unreal—congrats to him and Taylor!” one X user wrote. Another added, “This man’s been through it all, and now he’s getting this blessing. Tears in my eyes for them.” The announcement also drew warm messages from teammates, with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts posting, “Big congrats, bro! Family just got bigger—love to see it.”
The twins will make Campbell and Taylor parents of four, a prospect that seems to have reinvigorated the speedy wideout. Known for his deep faith, Campbell hinted at the challenges he’s faced in recent years, including the emotional toll of injuries and career uncertainty. “There were days I didn’t know if I’d keep going,” he said in a follow-up post. “But this—our growing family—is why I fight. It’s all worth it.”
As Campbell prepares for the next chapter of his personal life, his professional future remains in flux. With free agency looming and his one-year deal with the Eagles set to expire, the announcement adds a layer of intrigue to his offseason plans. Will he stay in Philadelphia, where he’s found stability, or seek a new opportunity elsewhere to support his expanding family? For now, though, the focus is on celebration.
The NFL community and beyond are rallying around Campbell, whose journey from the brink of retirement to this life-altering moment has captivated hearts. As one fan put it, “Parris Campbell’s not just winning on the field—he’s winning at life.”
