Brooks Koepka and Jena Sims embarked on the journey of matrimony in June 2022 and embraced parenthood a year later.
The proud parents, Brooks Koepka and Jena Sims, introduced their son, Crew Sims Koepka, to the world on July 27, 2023. Sims shared a touching post on Instagram, expressing her love for their newborn.
The couple made their pregnancy public on Koepka’s 33rd birthday in May 2023 via Instagram and announced the baby’s gender a couple of weeks later on Mother’s Day. Sims expressed her excitement about becoming a boy’s mother on Instagram, sharing pictures of the couple delighting in blue-iced donuts.
The couple’s journey began at the 2015 Masters, as disclosed by Sims in an interview with Golf Digest in May 2019. Interestingly, they seldom discuss golf. Sims, the former Miss Teen USA, frequently attends her husband’s golf tournaments, and contrary to Koepka’s belief, she thoroughly enjoys the experience.
