AceShowbiz - Shaquil Barrett and his wife Jordanna are going to welcome a new addition to their family. Two months after the tragic death of their 2-year-old daughter Arrayah, Jordanna announced on social media that they are currently expecting a baby girl.
"A few weeks after our sweet girls heaven day, Shaquil and I found out we were expecting! I just know Arrayah had a special hand in picking this sweet girl to add to our family!" the pregnant mom wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of a positive pregnancy test. "We are so beyond blessed, so beyond grateful that God chose to give us another little girl!"
"We miss our Arrayah every second of every day, but I rest in knowing she's going to be the best big sister angel to little miss Allanah!" she added. "#TGBTG 'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the lord. Not to harm you, nor prosper you, but to give you HOPE and a future Arrayah has given me hope. She has changed so many lives with the short 2 years she blessed this earth, and God works in such mysterious ways."
Jordanna went on to note, "I will never ever doubt his plans for my life. Through the worst of the worst, he turns and uses ALL things for good. I will trust when it's the hardest, and praise him through all things good. His plans are far more better than my own and always always will be." She continued, "I serve a God who cares, a God who gives, a God who takes away, a God who comforts, and a God who unwavering loves us when we do not deserve it. Thank you Jesus!"
The linebacker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and his wife sadly lost their 2-year-old daughter Arrayah Barrett on April 30. The toddler died in a pool accident just a few days after celebrating her birthday.
According to a statement from the Tampa Police Department, officers arrived at a Tampa, Florida residence on Sunday morning just before 9:30 A.M. ET after receiving a call that a child had fallen into a pool. The child was transported to a local hospital but could not be revived and was pronounced dead shortly after, authorities said.
"Today's tragic news is heartbreaking for all members of the Buccaneers family," a statement from Shaquil's team read at the time. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Shaq, Jordanna, and the entire Barrett family during this unimaginably difficult time. While no words can provide true comfort at a time such as this, we offer our support and love as they begin to process this very profound loss of their beloved Arrayah."
