The pictures were initially shared by Dani Marie Watt on Instagram on March 10 as she tagged her husband, TJ Watt, in the post to welcome their first child together. She captioned:

"Worth The Wait. Welcome To The World Blakely Marie Watt! 🩷"

The post included several black-and-white pictures of their daughter, reflecting the wholesome moments of the family.

TJ captioned the post, “February 2025 👣❤️” while announcing the expected delivery date.
