The couple originally made the announcement in April, sharing a heartwarming photoshoot on Instagram. The duo captioned the post, "Baby brother on deck" using hashtags #comingsummer, #TroutTribe, and #thentherewerefour."

Trout and Cox were high school sweethearts in New Jersey and got married in 2017. They welcomed their first child, Beckham, in July 2020.

Trout was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels after high school in the first round of the 2009 MLB draft. He wasn't able to show his talents on the team until he made his debut as a center fielder in 2011.

During his career, Trout has been an 11-time MLB All-Star, three-time American League Most Valuable Player and nine-time winner of the Silver Slugger Award.
