Fred VanVleet wife welcome new born baby

“It was a weird week”: Raptors’ VanVleet gains new insight from his newborn.

The 29-year-old was back in the Raptors starting lineup on Tuesday night as Toronto defeated the Chicago Bulls 104-98, with VanVleet dishing out nine assists. VanVleet has missed three games due to personal issues.

Despite returning to NBA action this week, he offers a fresh outlook for the remainder of the year. During the interval, he and his fiancée Shontai Neal welcomed their third child, despite VanVleet’s family also losing a loved one, and he also celebrated his birthday.

“Dude, that was a strange week. In the same few days, I experienced a funeral in the family, a birthday, and the birth of my child,” he said to reporters. It was simply one of those instances, dude. Put yourself back in your proper place, and it changes your entire outlook on life.

“I’m incredibly blessed and lead an amazing life. I’m glad to be working again.

On February 25, VanVleet shared the first photo of his newborn daughter Layla. They are undoubtedly close even though their birthdays aren’t the same.
