Professional golfer Rickie Fowler and his wife, Allison Stokke, have some exciting news to share. With their 2-year-old daughter, Maya, by their side, the couple recently announced that they are expecting their second child this summer.

Fowler, 35, took to Instagram on Tuesday, April 16 to share the happy news. In the post, he mentioned how Maya is already preparing for the arrival of her baby sister. The family is looking forward to becoming a foursome later this summer.

Fowler shared with Golfweek that his wife is expecting a baby with a due date of August 4. He is optimistic about playing in the British Open in mid-July before the baby arrives. (Similar to Masters 2024 champion Scottie Scheffler who made news for intending to leave a tournament if his wife, Meredith, went into labor.)

Fowler also mentioned that he will soon be a "girl dad" once more.

Just days after competing in The Masters at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, Fowler shared on Instagram about the importance of family and friends. Although he didn't win, he cherished the special moments with his wife and daughter, who served as caddies wearing matching uniforms with his last name. "Win or lose...it's about family and the people you surround yourself with," he wrote on April 11. He expressed gratitude to The Masters for the opportunity to create lasting memories with loved ones and friends.

One cheerleader Fowler can always count on is Stokke, 35. Married since October 2019, the pair first connected via social media and immediately struck up a friendship.

Rickie Fowler shared with Rocket Mortgage in an April 2019 YouTube interview that he contacted Allison on social media. He felt that she would be a good match for his personality. According to Fowler, Allison is genuine, beautiful, and someone he believed would be enjoyable to spend time with.

Stokke has always been impressed by her husband's ability to handle disappointment on the golf course.

During her time on Netflix's Full Swing, the track and field athlete shared a heartwarming moment involving Fowler following a tough game.

"When we first met, I remember you were at the Masters, at the very, very beginning. However, the way you finished wasn't what you wanted," she told her husband. "I think you texted me, 'Hey, how's your day going?' and I was taken aback. I was expecting complete anger, not a text from you after a while."

Fowler admitted in the documentary that it's not always easy to open up about difficult career moments, but he always has Stokke in his corner.

“Going through this struggle for the last few years, and learning to open up and share more is not easy,” he said. “But for me, being able to get input or hear her side, it means something.”
