Chiefs’ Harrison Butker and Wife Isabelle Welcome Baby No. 3 After Stirring ‘Homemaker’ Speech Controversy

Harrison Butker revealed in a new interview that he and wife Isabelle Butker have expanded their brood.

The Kansas City Chiefs kicker, 29, subtly made the announcement during an appearance on Fox News last week while supporting Josh Hawley’s re-election for senator of Missouri.

“I was able to experience my wife, now that we have three children, being able to be present with the children,” Harrison shared when asked about the backlash he’s received ever since his controversial commencement speech, in which he said a woman’s “most important title” should be “homemaker.”

“I see that amazing bond that they have and I go, ‘Woah. This is so important for our society, and there’s nothing wrong, there’s nothing shameful if you are a woman and you want to spend time with your family.’”

Harrison and Isabelle — who have been married since 2018 — welcomed their first child, James Augustine, in January 2019.

The NFL player wrote in a since-deleted post via X at the time, “Chiefs Kingdom is happy to have you, little one! Happy birthday.”

The couple then welcomed a daughter, whose name has not been revealed, the following year.

Little is known about the Butkers’ third child, as well, as Harrison did not disclose more details about the baby in his interview with Fox News. He also has not posted about the child on social media.

Isabelle, for her part, keeps a low profile on social media and does not appear to have her own accounts.

In June, Harrison walked the 2024 ESPYs red carpet with his wife and she did not appear to have a baby bump at the time, so it’s unclear when she gave birth to baby No. 3.

Page Six has reached out to Harrison’s reps for comment but did not immediately hear back.

While at the ESPYs, the Chiefs player did not escape the ongoing criticism over his comments about women, as even tennis superstar Serena Williams, who hosted the show, chimed in with a jab of her own.

“Go ahead and enjoy women’s sports like you would any other sport,” her sister, Venus Williams, said while onstage, prompting Serena, 43, to reply, “Except you, Harrison Butker, we don’t need you.”

Harrison then said in response to the diss, “Sports are supposed to be the great unifier and at an event dedicated to celebrating a diverse group of men and women who have accomplished great feats, she used it as an opportunity to disinvite those with whom she disagrees with from supporting fellow athletes.”

In his interview with Fox News, the pro football player further explained his remarks by sharing that he never meant to “put down anyone who maybe wants to go get a great education and have a career.”

“It’s more talking about how beautiful it is for women to maybe just step aside and prioritize their family, and spend time with their children and raise their family,” he added.

Harrison also said that a woman’s role as a homemaker “should not be diminished,” stating, “I know it’s countercultural to maybe speak those values …. There’s nothing wrong, there’s nothing shameful if you are a woman and you want to spend time with your family and raise your children.”
