Even after two years, the baby’s gender and the exact date of birth are not publicly known and Nessa was certain about it. The couple hasn’t let any pictures of their kid leaked on public platforms.
Keeping in mind the polarizing figure that Colin Kaepernick is, the couple felt it would be best for them to keep the identity of their kid hidden. Speaking about it openly, Nessa also revealed the measures she had to take to ensure complete protection of her then unborn baby.
“I remember when I was pregnant I did everything possible to keep my space clear of any mess, any drama because I just felt like that was going to impact my pregnancy,” Nessa said in her podcast. “I was so worried about anything on the outside trying to distract me or make me feel uncomfortable and I was so worried that maybe this would impact our baby. That’s maybe a big reason why I never shared my pregnancy publicly.”
Colin Kaepernick was on top of the headlines during the 2022 offseason for trying to make a comeback to the NFL. This also led to the Kaepernick family gaining a lot of attention. But Nessa had to be mindful not to get swayed by negative emotions and as per her many people around her helped her do that.
