NBC’s Maria Taylor surprises fans with pregnancy at NFL season opener

NBC Sports host Maria Taylor is having a blast while pregnant during the 2023 NFL season.

The former ESPN personality proudly cradled her Baby bump while on the field at Arrowhead Stadium in a photo she shared to both Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday night.

“Celebrating NFL Kickoff with my own Franchise player in the making,” Taylor wrote.

The mom-to-be, who’s expecting a baby boy with her husband in January, shared another snap, which explained her baby is currently the size of an American football.

It was the first time some had learned about Taylor’s pregnancy, although she shared the news back in July.

“What??” Kit Hoover, an anchor for “Access Hollywood,” wrote on Instagram. “I’m so excited for you. This is FANTASTIC.”

Former “Undisputed” host, Jenny Taft wrote, “Sending the biggest congrats!!”

Taylor took to Instagram earlier this summer to share the news of her pregnancy following multiple failed rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles.

“The last 3 years have been some of the most physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging years of my life,” Taylor wrote, including a collage of photos with her husband that showed a sonogram and baby Nike sneakers.

“My journey to motherhood has not been a straight path. It’s been diverted by surgeries, multiple egg retrievals, and failed IVF cycles.

“There were times when I felt like my body was betraying me, that God didn’t want me to become a mom and that I ultimately didn’t deserve to be a mom.”

Taylor also reflected on her journey of trying to start a family prior to the 2022 NFL season.

“It’s still crazy to think that just a year ago I came into the NFL season with the news of a failed embryo transfer,” she wrote in part. “Another hope dashed. And now this fall I come into a new season carrying the greatest gift of all. Our sweet Prince will be here soon and I can’t wait to be his mom!” 

Taylor has not publicly revealed her husband’s name. They tied the knot in February 2021, according to her Instagram.

Taylor covered the season opener for NBC, the Lions’ stunning 21-20 victory over the reigning champion Chiefs on their banner night.

She is in her third season as host of “Sunday Night Football” for NBC — and became the first full-time woman to host the network’s “Football Night in America” studio show.

Taylor left ESPN, where she worked from 2013-2021, after then-colleague Rachel Nichols made disparaging “diversity” comments about her in a leaked audio video, which was made public in July 2021.
