BREAKING NEWS JORDAN SPIETH MAKES REVELATION ON WIFE ANNIE VERRET AFTER THIRD BABY
Jordan Spieth has once again captured the headlines, not with a low round on the golf course, but with a candid revelation about his wife Annie Verret in the immediate aftermath of welcoming their third child. The news hit on Sunday, July 13, 2025, when Spieth shared the birth of their son Sully Spieth via Instagram, writing: “We added a new member to the foursome – Sully Spieth! Everyone is doing great ” In press appearances soon after, Spieth spoke openly about Annie’s heroic role stepping up with the newborn—and how that dynamic is reshaping his life both on and off the course.
Spieth revealed during a mid‑week press conference that since Sully was born, he’s been spending less time at the practice range and more time at home by conscious choice. “I have less time at the course than I used to, but that’s my choice, right? Everything at home is taken care of,” he said. “My wife’s a rock star. And I’m not — obviously a newborn’s a newborn, but she’s doing most all of the heavy lifting.” Those words resonated with many fans; rarely has a star athlete been so unguardedly effusive about his partner’s resilience.
Life for the Spieth family has accelerated dramatically ever since February 19, 2025, when Jordan confirmed on The Smylie Show podcast that a third child was due in July. “We have a third coming in July, so it’s busy,” he remarked, reflecting on a blur of birthdays, surgeries, and parenting milestones all packed into one offseason . At that time Sammy was 3 and loving monster trucks, his daughter Sophie was 17 months old, and now baby Sully joins a household run at full speed.
Spieth’s revelation wasn’t a dry statement—it came with warmth and honesty. He admitted that his new priorities mean less time at the course, fewer hours hitting balls, but more attentiveness at home. “Obviously with a newborn there’s plenty going on… being out here is kind of like, it’s a weird feeling… I haven’t had this situation before,” he explained, noting that his previous two children were born in the fall, making the summer arrival of Sully a new experience for the family
That admission came during a period of slowed performance on the PGA Tour. Spieth withdrew from the Travelers Championship citing neck/upper back pain, ending a 297‑start streak without withdrawal. Though he returned to golf shortly thereafter, results have been inconsistent—a tied for 40th at The Open Championship in July among them—and Spieth acknowledged that balancing golf aspirations with family involvement has been delicate. Still, he expressed no regrets: “It’s been awesome, I haven’t felt restricted by any means. It’s just trying to… be the best golfer in the world while still being super involved at home means those are my two priorities.”
Spieth’s frankness echoes comments he has made in the past about how fatherhood has reshaped his perspective. At a July 2024 press conference, he reflected that becoming a parent shifted his relationship with his sport. What was his life has become something he does. “I’d like to be a lot of other things, and what I do is play golf, versus it was all‑encompassing… that frees your mind up a little bit to maybe take a little bit of pressure off on the bad weeks.”
Annie Verret, whom Spieth has called his “rock,” has been a steadfast presence throughout his storied career. High school sweethearts, they married in November 2018 and have built a private yet powerful life together. Annie has supported Spieth through slumps, wrist surgery, long stretches without wins, and family expansion. Spieth cited her advice ahead of his 2021 victory at the Valero Texas Open, when she told him to pause for five seconds after missing a putt before tapping in—a minor tip he said made a big difference
In recent interviews, Spieth has made clear that Annie shoulders the bulk of the newborn care while he returns to golf when he can. In the aftermath of Sully’s arrival, he emphasized that he’s intentionally dialing back his time on the course so Annie can focus on the intense first weeks of infant care. “It’s varied from just him not being old enough for much of anything to very mobile and so by nature he can’t be left unattended. So she’s kind of the conductor. And I sort of view myself as the go‑to in whatever way I’m needed,” he said
The dynamic fits a modern image of partnership: a season‑long commitment to touring as a family, but also navigation of practical challenges—late nights, diaper shifts, middle‑of‑night feedings. In an earlier interview he admitted he now has “massively increased respect for moms and single parents” after witnessing Annie’s daily effort. “I like to think of myself as a very active dad… I’ve gotta pawn off the diaper changing… but it is the most rewarding work that there is.”
Fans have watched this family evolve. Skieth and Annie have made appearances together at the Masters Par 3 Contest, where their two young children walked the range by their side—a “full circle” moment Spieth described in April 2025, reflecting on a decade since his first Masters win. There was a note of nostalgia but also clarity: the priority had shifted from chasing titles to building a home life intertwined with tour life. Spieth was back to how he was in 2015, but now with a different heartbeat at his side. “Now I have two walking around with a third on the way.”
What made the revelation so compelling wasn’t just that Spieth was humbled—it was that he was proud: proud of Annie, proud of their growing family, and proud of making conscious choices about balance. He acknowledged that the wrist surgery in 2024, which kept him off the course for months, and his neck spasm in mid‑2025 added complexity to an already busy life. But above all, he said, being present at home isn’t a burden—it’s a privilege. And by slowing down on the tour, he’s able to be faster to priorities like family in a way ironic for a golfer known for speed in his youth.
That balance may also influence Spieth’s upcoming seasons. Ranked 48th in the world and with a handful of top‑10 finishes early in 2025, his trajectory is less about sprinting to wins than about sustainable performance while nurturing his most meaningful title yet: father. “Trying to be the best golfer in the world while still being super involved at home”—he called that dual aim his two priorities
As of July 2025, the Spieth household now includes Sully, joining big brother Sammy (age 3) and sister Sophie (22 months). The youngest arrived just shy of Jordan’s 32nd birthday, amid wrist rehab and a schedule of tournaments and family commitments. Through it all, he has consistently put a spotlight on Annie’s unrecognized labor: the nights up, the quiet emotional resilience, the unwavering support through triumphs and setbacks. That public acknowledgement, coming from a star whose voice resonates across arenas, speaks volumes about their solidarity and mutual respect.
In a time when athlete families increasingly take center stage, Spieth and Annie offer a model of partnership that blends ambition with intimacy—touring with toddlers in tow, sharing charity work through their Foundation, and making choices about time that reflect evolving values rather than external expectations. The revelation after their third baby is less about headlines and more about humanity: a star golfer turning the narrative inward, reminding fans he’s not just chasing birdies but building a life.
Jordan Spieth’s honesty about Annie’s role after Sully’s birth may not win him a major, but it’s undoubtedly one of the most authentic chapters in his public life. It reflects growth, love, and a deliberate reprioritization. In his own words, Annie is doing most of the heavy lifting—and he’s not shy about saying she deserves the spotlight. That revelation, more than any golf stat, reveals the man behind the swing.
The couple’s journey—from high school sweethearts to parents of three—isn’t only a family story; it’s a lesson in empathy, partnership, and the art of balancing dreams with devotion. And it’s far from finished.
