Daniel Negreanu and Amanda Welcome Their First Child

Poker player Daniel Negreanu, who has won eight WSOP bracelets, and his wife Amanda have welcomed their first child, Roman. The baby was born on Friday, November 13 at 08:04 and weighed 9 lbs 3 oz at birth. Negreanu shared the news on X.

Negreanu wrote that the baby has already settled into a fairly easy life. According to him, Roman is very calm, eats well, and is already holding his neck up strongly, like a football player.

Both parents have their own reasons for the name. Negreanu said the name is connected to his Romanian roots, and that although it is not very common in the country, he feels that connection. He also pointed out that, as a hockey fan, the name reminds him of NHL star Roman Josi. Amanda's inspiration was Roman Roy, the character from the HBO series Succession.

The couple got married in 2019. They announced they were expecting a baby in May, during Negreanu's WSOP vlog series. Speaking about the surrogate, Negreanu said she is a wonderful surrogate mother. The couple explained that they had been trying to become parents for years and had made changes to their daily routines to prepare for family life.
