APDifferent quarterbacks handle paternity differently. Peyton Manning was ultra-secretive about his twin girls. Eli was the same, to a lesser extent.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, however, has made it publicly known that his wife is expecting their first child.
Roethlisberger made the declaration on his website. “It is truly a blessing and we are so excited!” Roethlisberger said, managing to use not one but two of Tim Tebow’s favorite words.
The baby is due to arrive later this year. Since football season also starts later this year, things could get interesting if his wife goes into labor on the day of a game.

You go Ben, get him on the field.
I can’t wait to log back in and read the jokes on this one….
Big Ben jr on the way?? Congrats……..
By the looks of the jersey in that photo, it appears Pittsburgh is attempting to plug the holes in its offensive line with the only QB, short of Jared Lorenzen, that fits the unique physical requirements of the position.
Little Ben or Benadette ???
Wonder who the mother is…
Better yet, I wonder if Ben knows who the mother is. He seems to get around
It’s easy to poke at Big Ben with jokes about his past, but maybe the guy is growing up. A kid can do that to you.
That’s awesome.
Congrats to Ben and Ashley!
Oh this is going to be good.
I’ve always been of the camp that if you have a family emergency on game day, skip the game.
Shallow end of the gene pool.
some kids get tattoos to rebel against their parents. some kids smoke cigarettes to get back. This kid will be a Raven fan in order to shame it’s father.
1 kid to go along witty the other 3 he doesn’t talk about? Lol.
I have no idea who the mother is, but I think we can all agree that this child is better off if it gets it’s looks from that side of the family.
Will Ben Roethlisberger’s wife go into labor during a game? I haven’t checked, but I bet you can get odds in Vegas.
Congrats to the Roethlisbergers. So many of my friends seem to schedule their deliveries rather than waiting for nature’s call. Maybe Mr. & Mrs. Big Ben will schedule theirs for some quiet afternoon when the Steelers aren’t playing. Just a friendly suggestion …
I wonder if it was hard for him to freely admit he is having a kid since his instincts have told him to deny, deny, deny for so long.
He’ll “be” a father? He already IS a father. Good for the two of them!
Assuming he married someone with similar values, is it even his?
The biggest babies are the whiny little morons who assumed he was ever guilty of anything.
And so continues his “changed man” PR campaign … church, marriage, baby.
Which of his assault victims is the mother?
This guy is a massive tool. Can’t wait for him to get owned by Flacco again.
Ravens > Steelers. Anyday, allday.
He should name him Anakin, since he was conceived by the force.
Congrads to Big Ben
Lets Go Steelers!
Wonder what Ben and the Steeler fans say when the Ravens sweep these clowns, again.
Still rent free in ravenators tiny head. Be cool let Ben enjoy this proud moment as your test tube creators probably did
however the downside is that he doesnt remember her and that shes pressing charges
(just kiddin ben)
I feel sorry for the kid. Daddy comes with a lot of baggage.
To the poster that wishes he has twin girls, and something bad happens to them..you need to come down South & say that out loud! That’s an awful thing to say about anyone’s children..even Ben’s..even if he was guilty. That comment is about as bad as “jerrysandusky1″s username.
You need to correct your info – Peyton does not have twin girls – he has a boy and girl (twins).
Congrats to Ben and Ashley! Exciting news for a wonderful couple. Best of luck in the months to come!
ravenator and randallflagg – lots of talk for a team that thinks they are going somewhere next season – lewis is getting older and suggs is going to be out too long to make an impact – this is a story about someone who is going to be a father, not about games. Go count Ray Lewis four kids by four different baby mama’s.

—————————-
Definitely not Andrea McNulty – the “alleged victim” who was on record as saying she hoped she was pregnant — and decided to accuse of assault when he pretty much ignored she ever existed afterwards.
Of course Ben Roethlisberger is the ONLY guy to ever do anything like that.
