"I know my wife's going to be an unbelievable mom" - Justin Thomas on wife, Jillian
Justin Thomas has never shied away from showing excitement at the birth of his daughter. At the ZOZO Championship in Japan this year, which was his last start of the year, he praised his wife and discussed parenthood. He said (via the PGA Tour):
"I know my wife's going to be an unbelievable mom. And I'm excited for the opportunity to raise a little girl. It’s going to be great."
He further added:
"All I know is I'll be as ready as I possibly can and we're going to make the most out of every situation we can. I can't tell you honestly if I'm ready because I've never done it before. I'll let you know in a couple months. It will be a challenge in different ways, but one that we're excited for."
After dating for five years, Justin Thomas and Jillian got married in a beautiful private ceremony in Franklin, Tennessee in November 2022 with Jason Kennedy officiating it. Phones were famously banned at the ceremony, as per the groom's request. Thomas had popped the question to her that same month a year before. The couple also has a dog, Franklin, who often stars in the golfer's social media posts.
