Chicago Bears’ DJ Moore and Pregnant Wife Raven Glow in Family Photos as Baby No. 3 Nears Arrival

In the middle of an unpredictable NFL offseason, Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore is stepping into a different spotlight — one filled with love, anticipation, and baby kicks.

The 27-year-old playmaker and his wife, Raven Battle, are preparing to welcome their third child next month. Ahead of the big arrival, the couple posed for intimate family photos alongside their two children: 5-year-old Arielle Melody and 20-month-old Denniston Oliver III.

The images, captured by photographer Kinda Arzon, show a family radiating calm, connection, and quiet excitement. But behind the smiles is a whirlwind year that’s included a secret courthouse wedding, a surprise pregnancy reveal on national television, and now a growing household ready for its newest teammate.

A Training Camp Surprise

Raven found out she was pregnant while DJ was away at Bears training camp last season. Instead of a grand reveal, she kept it simple and personal.

“I told him after practice while holding Bubba,” she shared.

Later, the couple got creative with how they told the rest of their family. Rather than sending texts or planning a party, they told loved ones to tune into HBO’s Hard Knocks, which followed the Bears during training camp. In the final episode, cameras captured the couple celebrating their new home — and revealing baby No. 3 on screen.

It wasn’t flashy. It was real. And it was unforgettable.

This Pregnancy Has Been Different

Raven admits this journey hasn’t been easy.

“I’ve been a lot sicker this pregnancy. Morning sickness was an absolute nightmare,” she said.

Unlike her previous pregnancies, this baby has been far more active. And the cravings? Unexpected.

“I didn’t really have cravings before, but this time it’s barbecue-flavored everything,” she laughed. “I usually hate barbecue sauce and chips, but now it’s barbecue chicken pizza and Lays All Dressed chips.”

Despite the tough days, the recent photo shoot gave her a moment to feel radiant. Styled with hair by Araceli Aviles Damaso, makeup by Fabiola Galves, and a custom-made top by KIVANCI, Raven embraced the glow that comes with building a family.

The Gender Reveal Twist

Originally, DJ was the only one who planned to know the baby’s gender early.

He found out at 10 weeks.

Raven wanted to wait.

But fate had other plans.

“Unfortunately, I saw the gender while checking other test results,” she admitted. “So it won’t be a surprise for us — but everyone else will have to wait.”

The couple is discussing names but sticking to their tradition of waiting until they see the baby’s face before making a final decision.

A Quiet Wedding and a Bigger Celebration to Come

DJ and Raven quietly tied the knot at a courthouse on October 1, 2024.

The timing wasn’t originally planned that way. The couple had begun scouting Disney properties for a larger celebration when they discovered they were expecting again. That shifted priorities.

“On a random day off, DJ gathered the crew and we went to the courthouse,” Raven said.

A full celebration with family and friends is still in the future — just postponed until after baby arrives.

Balancing Football and Fatherhood

The timing of baby No. 3 adds another twist.

The Bears’ offseason program begins the day before Raven’s due date because of a new coaching staff starting early.

DJ isn’t fazed.

“I’m excited for that and for becoming a father of three,” he said.

While football may dominate headlines, it’s clear Moore’s focus extends far beyond the field.

Chicago has become more than just a team destination — it’s home.

The couple says adjusting to family life in the city has been seamless, and their kids are already thriving. Arielle is set to begin school, while “Bubba” has developed a strong interest in football, soccer, and baseball.

Now, with “Mini Moore” on the way, their house is about to get even louder.

“The Moore, the merrier,” they both say.

And judging by the smiles in those photos, this next chapter might be their most meaningful yet.
