It’s good news on good news for the Dillons.
Former Green Bay Packers running back AJ and his wife, Gabrielle, announced the birth of their second child, and first daughter, in a joint Aug. 13 Instagram post.
“Welcome to the world Blair ,” the post was captioned, with a photo of the adorable newborn, wrapped in a white blanket and laying on a floral sheet next to a pink-and-white striped custom name sign topped with a pink bow.
“Congratulations, Dillon’s!” the Destination Door County Instagram page commented. With so much closed during the COVID-19 pandemic when AJ and Gabrielle met, they ventured up to The Door, where her parents have a cottage. It was at that cottage that the couple would end up getting engaged, and later, married.
“Such a sweet blessing! I love her name congratulations you guys!” wrote Baylee Kraft, the wife of Packers tight end Tucker Kraft. They welcomed their first daughter into the world last year.
The Dillons’ announcement came exactly one week after AJ punched in a touchdown for the Carolina Panthers during the NFL’s Pro Football Hall of Fame preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals.
For his TD celebration, he cradled the football and rocked it back-and-forth like a baby. The Dillons announced in March that baby No. 2 was on the way.
AJ previously did that celly in 2022, when he scored for the Packers. At the time, AJ and Gabrielle − a lifestyle blogger and content creator − were expecting their first child, son Algiers “Trey” Dillon III, who would arrive that spring.
AJ spent his first five NFL seasons with the Packers, the team that drafted him. He signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia Eagles in March 2025 on a one-year deal. In March 2026, the Panthers announced that AJ would be joining the team. NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reported that the deal is for one year.
