CONGRATS: Patrick Surtain II Announces Life-Changing News — “Our Little Broncos Is on the Way”

DENVER

Just days after the Super Bowl LX loss to Seattle, Patrick Surtain II gave Denver Broncos fans a reason to smile again.

Early Sunday morning, the All-Pro cornerback posted an ultrasound image alongside a heartfelt message that quickly spread across social media.

“Blessed beyond measure. Kevia and I are excited to share that we’re expecting our first little Bronco. #BroncosCountry.”

The timing made the announcement even more powerful. Less than 48 hours earlier, Surtain stood on football’s biggest stage in Super Bowl LX, anchoring Denver’s defense in a 29–13 defeat. Even in loss, he delivered another shutdown performance, reinforcing why he’s widely regarded as one of the NFL’s elite defensive backs and a former Defensive Player of the Year.

Now, he’s preparing for a different kind of responsibility — fatherhood.

Surtain’s relationship with longtime partner Kevia Higdon has been one of the league’s most admired off-field stories. The two met during their time at the University of Alabama, building a bond that has quietly endured through draft night, Pro Bowl selections, and playoff runs. Kevia, an entrepreneur and influencer, has been a constant presence — often seen supporting from the stands at Empower Field at Mile High and celebrating milestones along the way.

Their announcement marks the couple’s first child together, a deeply personal milestone in Surtain’s journey from Plantation, Florida, to becoming the face of Denver’s defense.

The 2025 season was another defining chapter. Surtain led a unit that powered the Broncos through the AFC playoffs and into February’s title game. His ability to eliminate opposing receivers week after week helped shape Denver’s identity as a championship contender.

But even in the aftermath of a painful Super Bowl defeat, Surtain’s message carried perspective.

Football defines seasons. Family defines legacy.

As the son of former NFL cornerback Patrick Surtain Sr., he understands what it means to grow up around the game — and what it means to carry that tradition forward.

The Broncos may have fallen short of a Lombardi Trophy this week.

For Patrick Surtain II, however, the future just became far more meaningful — and Broncos Country now has a new little fan on the way.
