Mina Kimes had a special announcement on Wednesday night, and it wasn't about football.

The NFL analyst revealed on the ESPYS red carpet in Los Angeles that she is pregnant.

"brought a date," she said in a Twitter post with a heart emoji and a picture of herself holding her baby bump.

Kimes, 37, is married to music producer Nick Sylvester, who is the co-founder of alternative label Godmode.

This is their first child.

Kimes has been a reporter for ESPN since 2014 when she joined the staff of ESPN The Magazine. In 2020, she became a member of "NFL Live" and frequently appears on other shows, including Around the Horn and is a color commentator for the Los Angeles Rams.

The Yale graduate has amassed a fan base for her authenticity and wit. She changed her Twitter profile picture to Mila Kunis after a Boston radio producer used a racial slur while confusing her with the actress. She has also shared heartwarming stories of watching the Seattle Seahawks with her father, which is how she got into football.
