Chris Boswell has added a major off-field milestone to what is already shaping up to be a significant year on the field. The Pittsburgh Steelers kicker and his wife Havana announced the birth of their third child, a baby girl named Cooper, giving the Boswell family another reason to celebrate as the 2026 season gets underway.
It is a warm, human reminder that even the most polished NFL careers are happening alongside real life. Boswell is not just entering his 12th NFL season; he is doing it after a summer contract extension and after another statistically strong year that reminded everyone why the Steelers have trusted him for so long.
A family announcement to match a big football year
Boswell’s 2025 season was another solid one by any standard. He attempted 32 field goals, made 27 of them, and was perfect on 42 extra points, finishing with 123 points. He also ranked 12th among all NFL kickers, which is exactly the sort of reliability teams pay for and lean on when games get tight.
That came on the heels of his 2024 Pro Bowl and All-Pro campaign, a season that made clear he remains one of the league’s more dependable kickers. Add in a hefty contract extension signed in the summer of 2026, and the message is obvious: the Steelers still see Boswell as a central piece, not a short-term stopgap.
Now he begins his 12th NFL season with a new personal headline as well. Cooper joins the family as Boswell and Havana welcome their third child, and that is the kind of update that matters far beyond football. It does not change a single kick, of course, but it does underline the point that Boswell’s year is already full before he has even taken the first meaningful snap.
For a veteran kicker, stability is everything. Boswell has it professionally, thanks to his recent production and his new deal, and he now has it personally too, with a growing family and a new baby girl at home. That is a pretty good way to start a season.
