DJ Moore's kids surprise mom Raven Battle as the family welcomes baby No. 3

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore shared a family moment on Saturday as he announced the arrival of his third child. In a video posted on Instagram, Moore captured his two children entering a hospital room with flowers in hand, surprising their mother, Raven Battle, who had just given birth. Battle was seated upright in her hospital bed as the children approached her.

The post included multiple photos: a close-up of the newborn, a family photo on the hospital bed and two shots of Moore holding and carrying the baby. He set the post to the track “Who I Do It For.”

Moore and Battle are parents to daughter Arielle Melody, born in 2020, and son Denniston Oliver Moore III, born in July 2023. The couple, engaged and active on social media, often share milestones and family life with their followers.

Moore joined the Bears in a high-profile trade with the Carolina Panthers in March 2023. He finished the 2023 campaign with career-best numbers: 96 receptions, 1,364 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. In July 2023, he signed a four-year $110 million contract extension with Chicago, making him the first WR in NFL history to have the first 10 years of his career guaranteed.

Moore recorded 98 receptions for 966 yards and six TDs last season, including a two-TD game against his former team, the Panthers, in Week 5.

DJ Moore and wife Raven Battle shared family milestones ahead of baby No. 3’s arrival

DJ Moore and his wife, Raven Battle, just welcomed their third child, marking a new chapter for the growing family. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE in March, the couple shared details about their journey leading up to the birth.

The couple, who quietly tied the knot on Oct. 1, posed for family photos with their two children ahead of the baby’s arrival. The couple revealed they found out about the pregnancy during Bears training camp last season and announced the news to loved ones via the final episode of "Hard Knocks."

Battle described the pregnancy as her most challenging yet, citing severe morning sickness and unusual cravings for barbecue-flavored food. Initially, only Moore was to know about the baby’s gender, but she unintentionally saw the results while reviewing other medical information.

The couple planned to finalize the baby’s name after birth. They also postponed a larger wedding celebration, with plans to resume once settled with their newest family member.
