Julian Edelman’s daughter Lily, born in November 2016, has been a central figure in the retired football player’s life.
Edelman, a proud father, penned a heartfelt message on X (formerly Twitter) for Lily’s 7th birthday, expressing his joy to watch her grow into a loving and compassionate person. From attending football games to Taylor Swift concerts together, Edelman and Lily share a special bond that shines through their father-daughter moments.
Edelman has always prioritized spending quality time with Lily, even when he was juggling a busy schedule with his football career. Now retired, Edelman admits that balancing his career and fatherhood is a challenge, but Lily always remains his top priority. He acknowledges the shift in priorities that comes with parenthood and is dedicated to giving his daughter the love and attention she deserves.
When it comes to dating and potentially introducing a stepmother figure into Lily’s life, Edelman is cautious and selective. He emphasizes the importance of finding someone who not only fits well with him but also connects with Lily and earns her approval. Lily’s well-being and happiness are paramount in any romantic decisions Edelman makes moving forward.
Lily has shared in some important career moments of her dad, attending Patriots games and even joining Edelman on stage at the 2019 Super Bowl victory celebration. Additionally, Lily’s godmother, Emma Hernan from “Selling Sunset,” has been a consistent presence in Lily’s life, offering support and love throughout her upbringing. Hernan, a close friend of Lily’s mom, has been by their side since Lily’s birth and holds a special place in Lily’s life as her fairy godmother.
As a fan of Taylor Swift, Lily has accompanied her dad to concerts and even made him a special bracelet in honor of the singer. Their close bond is evident in their shared experiences and cherished moments together, highlighting the love and connection between Julian Edelman and his beloved daughter Lily.
