Bryce Harper is going to be a father of three.

On Tuesday, the Philadelphia Phillies baseball player, 31, and his wife, Kayla Harper, shared on Instagram that they are expecting another baby. The couple are parents to son Krew, 4, and daughter Brooklyn, 3.

In the announcement posted to social media, Bryce and Kayla are photographed embracing on the beach, with Bryce's hands on Kayla's belly as he kisses her on the forehead. In the next photo, their two kids stand barefoot on the beach holding the sonogram in their hands.

"3 for 3 💟," Bryce and Kayla captioned the joint post shared on both of their accounts.

The high school sweethearts first tied the knot in December 2016.

A few years later, in August 2019, they welcomed their first child. The announcement came a month after Bryce signed a $330 million, 13-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. At the time, the couple both revealed the pregnancy on Instagram with a photo of them holding a pint-sized jean jacket that read "Baby Harper" on the back — and featured Bryce's new number, 3.

Not long after, in June 2020, Bryce announced the couple was pregnant again — and that he was going to be a "Girl dad!"

Since welcoming his two kids, Bryce has spoken out about his love for his growing family. In May 2022, he told a Los Angeles radio station, "I have an amazing family, I have an amazing wife, two beautiful kids that keep me very humbled and grounded. When I leave the field, it's all about them."

He continued, "My wife takes care of the kids at home. She does a great job at that. She supports me each night, goes to every single game she can … I'm humbled to have a wife and a family like that."
