Seattle Seahawks defensive end Leonard Williams will have the support of his pregnant wife, Hailey Williams, during Super Bowl LX.
“We’re just being really flexible and fluid because we’ve never been this far in football,” Hailey, 34, told Seattle’s King 5 affiliate on Wednesday, February 4, of attending the NFL championship during the third trimester of her pregnancy. “I’m adjusting, being pregnant, it’s harder on my body and so he’s adjusting [too].”
Hailey is currently 36 weeks along — her due date just weeks after the Super Bowl in early March.
“I feel so excited and so grateful and so curious to see what he’s going to do,” she said. “He’s an amazing player, the team is filled with amazing men that just have this connection that I’ve never seen before. I’m truly excited to see what they come up with ‘cause each week … you see these crazy plays that they do, things that we’re like, ‘Wow, you’re incredible.’”

Leonard, 31, and his Seahawks teammates landed a spot in the 2026 Super Bowl after defeating the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship late last month. (The Seahawks will face off against the New England Patriots in the big game on Sunday, February 8.)
“Once we found out the news, [all the other Seahawks wives and I] were crying,” Hailey added on Wednesday. “When I saw him, I just remember him picking me up and it felt like he was holding me like a little baby. I love that feeling of the way he loves me.”
Hailey and Leonard, who have been married since April 2024, announced in November 2025 that they are expecting their first baby.
“In bloom,” the pair captioned maternity pics.
Throughout her pregnancy, Hailey has cheered on Leonard’s 2025-2026 NFL season and playoff victories.
“Every year, Leo shows up believing he can make it here. With every action, every team, every season — he carries a champion mindset,” Hailey wrote via Instagram on January 27. “I’m beyond proud that he gets this moment, one that reflects back what he’s always known: He is — and always will be — a champion.”
She continued, “That’s what I love most about him. Even when the environment doesn’t mirror it back, he shows up anyway. He trusts the process. Always.”
While Hailey joined Leonard in San Francisco for the Super Bowl, she told People it is her last week to travel pre-childbirth.

“Everything is prepared for the baby. The nursery’s done, I got the car seat and the stroller. We have the crib, and everything’s ready to go,” Hailey told the outlet on Sunday, February 1. “Right now, we’re focusing on football. Leo’s doing his best to support me with all the emotions that have come up because emotions come up in pregnancy.”
Hailey further revealed to People how she planned to watch the game, held at California’s Levi’s Stadium.
“We will normally pray for him before the game. I’m imagining we’re probably gonna have a phone call,” she said, acknowledging that she won’t be greeting Leonard on the field before kickoff. “When he travels, and I don’t, we’ll have a phone call in the morning where I get to pray over him, and then I’ll send a little follow-up text with a prayer as well. I’ll be praying over him the entire game.”
