"I am so thankful to have a husband who tries to be very aware of where he can help. He comes home from a long day and immediately tries to lighten my load - wherever he sees it. But this video is dead on with the 'mental load' parts."

Emily's story was a reply to Cedrick Thompson Jr.'s story, who spoke about the challenges of solo parenting and the mental load it can bring. Emily agreed with his words, glad that she has Baker with her.

I've always felt, from a young age, that being a mom was my calling. I just can't wait to raise her with Bake & see him as a dad. He's already such a softy... I think he'll be the best girl dad," Emily wrote.

In a press conference in December 2023, Baker Mayfield admitted to being in awe already.

"A girl dad. I'm going to be wrapped around her finger. Just completely screwed."

With a 4-6 record, the Bucs will be facing the New York Giants on November 24 for Sunday football.
