Julian Edelman did just want any soon-to-be-dad would do. Once he got word that the mother of his child was in labor, he flew out to LA to be there for the birth.
The Patriots are currently stressing over the fact that Rob Gronkowski is going to have back surgery but if you’re Julian Edelman, you’re on cloud 9 celebrating the birth of your child. Edelman’s daughter was born yesterday, November 30 and Edelman made the birth just in time. The mother of his child, model Ella Rose, gave birth in LA.
We’re told Edelman flew to L.A. on Wednesday morning so he could be by her side for the birth … and fortunately, things worked out!
8 pound, 5 ounce Lily was born on Wednesday at Cedars-Sinai in L.A., as first reported by the Boston Globe.
Ella had filed paternity docs back in July naming Edelman as the father. We’re told the two are on good terms but are NOT on romantic terms. They’ve sort of been friends with benefits for the past few years.
Our sources say Julian is committed to co-parenting the kid and being a good dad.
We’re told Julian will be back in Boston either tonight or tomorrow and is planning to play against the Rams on Sunday.
In addition to congratulating Edelman on the birth of his child, flip the pages to see more photos of the model.
