Ex-Eagles QB Nick Foles' shares glimpse into Disneyland adventure on son Duke's birthday (PHOTOS)
Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles has swapped his NFL playbook for theme park escapades. The retired Super Bowl champion recently marked his son Duke's fifth birthday at Disneyland. His Instagram update captured the day in family photos and ride experiences.
Foles retired in August after an 11-year professional career. The quarterback took the Eagles to their first-ever Super Bowl championship in 2018. He is now busy with family time and fatherhood with his wife Tori Moore and two kids.
On Saturday at Disneyland Resort in California, Foles shared a series of photographs from the birthday celebration in an Instagram carousel post. The snaps showed Duke going on some rides with his dad.
"Still not sure who had more fun—Duke or the grown-ups. Thanks @disneyland for making Duke's 5th birthday special! #Disneyland," Foles captioned.
Duke Nathan Foles was born on June 12, 2020, when his father was playing for the Chicago Bears. Duke was the second of the family following the birth of her sister Lily in June 2017. Moore called Duke's birth "a true miracle and sweet surprise."
Nick Foles: from football fields to family adventures
Nick Foles' social media profile shows a consistent commitment to spending quality time with his kids.
Only five days before the Disneyland excursion, Foles spent another father-son moment with his children on the golf course. He played with his kids, and captioned it, "Just a dad, his kids and the green." The quarterback also captured a beach football practice with Duke on April 25, captioning, "Little hands. Big dreams. Just like Dad!"
His wife, Tori Moore, wrote an emotional message when he retired last year.
"The kids and I are so proud of you, @nickfoles, and we are humbled to have been a part of your journey. You gave us experiences with memories that will last a lifetime. From my view, what’s most remarkable about your career is how every season of triumph was followed by one that was difficult," Moore wrote on Aug. 8.
In 2018, while preparing for the Super Bowl, he broke down while talking about his daughter Lily. He underlined how being a father had become his top priority, saying that seeing his family after games was what counted for him.
