It's right up there with cracking a cold one with the fellas, watching football with the boys, and spending the latter half of March chowing down wings with the dudes.
Learning if your child is going to be a boy or a girl brings so many thoughts swirling through your head. Having all these emotions caught on camera and posted to social media is as close to euphoria as a guy could get.
Gordon Hayward reached where so many guys wish they could go.
In a gender reveal posted by his wife Robyn in July 2018, Hayward discovered that his two daughters would be succeeded by another girl.
"Woooahhhh it's a girl" he emphatically exclaimed.
"Is daddy happy?" Robyn asked, hinting that the doghouse was only a few steps away.
"Daddy's always happy," he replied. Well done.
Gordon Hayward's Wife Robyn Hayward
Gordon and Robyn are both Indiana natives. They met shortly after Robyn graduated from high school in 2013 and tied the knot in 2014.
They welcomed their first daughter in 2015, their second in 2016, their third in 2019, and their first son in 2020.
It was rumored that Hayward was going to leave the NBA Bubble in Orlando, Florida, to attend his son's birth. After suffering an ankle injury in the first round of the NBA Playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers, Hayward was able to return home and spend some extra time with his family while the Boston Celtics squared off against the Toronto Raptors in the second round.
Once he recovered and returned to the Bubble for the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat, he stayed put while his fourth child, Gordon Theodore Hayward, was born per ESPN. He'll go by Theo.
The couple enjoys traveling and spending the offseason in California.
