Breaking the wedding news via an Instagram post, Watt wrote:
"Best day of my life."
T.J. Watt and wife Dani enjoy Austria getaway before the pregnancy announcement
Three months before announcing the pregnancy, Dani Watt enjoyed an adventurous trip to Leogang, Austria, with her husband, T.J. Watt. Interestingly, Dani's Austria recap came almost one week before their pregnancy reveal on Instagram. Sharing pictures from her trip, Dani wrote:
"Almost 3 months late, but a trip that is still so deserving of a photo dump."
Dani shared a carousel post featuring pictures of the resort she was staying at with the linebacker. There's also a snapshot from the couple's dinner date in which Watt is seen reading the menu. Reacting to his wife's Instagram post, the linebacker commented with a heart emoji.
Almost a year before Watt's 2017 NFL draft, his brother Derek Watt was drafted into the league by the Chargers as the 198th overall pick of Round 6. The fullback stayed in the league until 2022, playing his last years in the NFL alongside his brother for the Steelers.
J.J. Watt, another member of the family, announced his retirement from the league after the 2022 NFL season. However, in an interview with Kay Adams on Monday, the Steelers linebacker revealed that his brother is interested in making a comeback and that the former defensive end might come out of his retirement in the upcoming years.
