“As we move into our next chapter of life, parenthood, we are proud to step up for not only our child, but for children all over our community. Dani and I are humbled and excited to announce that we will be ambassadors for UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation over the next two years,” the Watts wrote in a joint statement on Instagram. “As the Foundation embarks on their fundraising campaign, This Moment, we are honored to bring awareness to the future of pediatric healthcare.”

T.J. and Dani, a former professional soccer player, got married on July 9, 2022 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The couple first met as student-athletes at the University of Wisconsin.
“When I was a little girl I never thought I’d find someone special enough to ever change my last name… But I found him and couldn’t be happier to share a name with the man of my dreams,” Dani wrote on Instagram after their wedding.
