The newest Cincinnati Bengals fan made his debut on Tuesday.

Bengals backup quarterback AJ McCarron tweeted Tuesday night that his wife, Katherine, had given birth to a baby boy. The McCarrons named the child Tripp.

McCarron and his wife, the former Miss Alabama and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, announced the pregnancy via social media in December.

McCarron was excused from the first week of Bengals organized team activities (OTAs) to be with his family in Mobile, Ala.
