The pair tied the knot in 2019, and recently celebrated their 4 year anniversary over the summer. Emily took to her Instagram on their anniversary sharing sweet photos of the couple. She captioned the post, "Happy 4 year anniversary to my sweet husband. These last few years we have grown in so many ways, and I am SO proud of where we are in our marriage."
Mayfield shared how he found out about the pregnancy, saying he originally thought Emily had gotten a puppy. "I was in shock, to be completely honest," Mayfield said. "I had sent her a picture outside of our hotel. There was a goldendoodle puppy sign with the number on it, and I sent her a screenshot of that, and then two days later I go to the house and she put a big brother shirt on our dog. So I started looking around for a puppy, not seeing the ultrasound and the positive pregnancy test right in front of me. So yeah, I was in the doghouse for a little bit on that one. But it was just complete shock, but so blessed. Obviously it's much more to life than just football. So it's one of those things that we're extremely happy about." As for becoming a girl dad, Mayfield said "I'm going to be wrapped around her finger. Just completely screwed."
