New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson is about to be a father again. Johnson and his wife Chanen went to social media to announce they are expecting their second baby together. The post includes the two posing for the camera while Chanen shows off her baby bump.

Johnson and Chanen welcomed their first baby daughter J’adore, in July 2023. In another Instagram post, the family is sitting down with J’adore in the middle wearing a sweater with the words “Big Sister” while Chanen is holding her ultrasound photos.

The couple met while attending Penn State and got married in 2020. After the couple welcomed J’adore last year, Johnson went to Instagram to share his reaction to being a father.

“What a BLESSING! A doctor in college told [Chanen] she could never have kids. That she wouldn’t be able to. A year ago having a pair of miscarriages. But I know something and someone who is bigger than this giant. God has never lost. Not ONCE,” Johnson wrote.

“This girl right here is one of a kind and I’m grateful that I call her my wife. God gave this little girl and this is a testament of unwavering faith. Thank you Jesus. J’adore Blessing Johnson welcome to this world princess! Daddy will alwayssss be there for you & mommy.”

Juwan Johnson putting in ‘hard work’ with Saints

Johnson signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2020. He played in 16 games for the Saints last year and recorded 37 catches for 368 yards and four touchdowns. Before the 2023 season, Johnson signed a two-year contract extension with the Saints.

“The hardest thing [about tight end] is… understanding blocking and running concepts. I knew nothing about run concepts. What is a jab counter? What is a power?” Johnson told Fansided in February. “I had no idea. But, just me investing my time, learning the run schemes, that was the biggest thing for me. Passing? I could do whatever, you could put me at any position, I know what I’m doing. But, in terms of the run stuff… I had to take a long time and a lot of hard work to get to it.”

Johnson began his college career at Penn State but played his final season at Oregon. In his one year with the Ducks, Johnson caught 30 passes for 467 yards and four touchdowns. In his three seasons at Penn State, Johnson caught 81 passes for 1,123 yards and two touchdowns.
