Jordan Phillips and his wife Lauren Gray gave birth to their first daughter during the coronavirus outbreak.
Jordan Phillips, 32, who returned to the Buffalo Bills before the 2024 season, is still reacclimating to the NFL’s snowiest football city, where temperatures dipped below 20 degrees for Sunday’s matchup with Baltimore.
Highlights
- Jordan Phillips had the funniest celebration of their teammate’s key turnover vs. the Ravens.
- Phillips was married to a real estate advisor, Lauren Gray.
- Lauren Gray and Jordan Phillips were blessed with two daughters: Maliyah and Maya V. Phillips.
Strangely, the veteran defensive tackle took the field at Highmark Stadium with a heavy puffer coat beneath his jersey, an outfit he wore throughout the team’s warmups.
Phillips ultimately shed his oversized layer and made several disruptive plays in the first half, helping the Bills take a 21-10 lead into the locker room.
Jordan is making his third trip to the Divisional Round, but a win Sunday would advance the 32-year-old to his first-ever conference championship game.
Interestingly, it’s not the first time Phillips has sported the unorthodox puffer coat outfit, employing the same cold-weather approach before the team’s closer-than-expected Week 16 victory over division rivals New England.
But despite his struggles with the city’s uniquely cold climate, Phillips made sure to underscore his appreciation for Buffalo and the Bills franchise, who welcomed the defensive tackle back after an underwhelming season in Dallas.
In the recent podcast with The Centered on Buffalo, Phillips said,
“What gets [me] going is the appreciation,” “I’ve never felt the love of something the way I have of the Buffalo Bills. It’s hard not to give them everything that they’ve given me.”

During the press conference over Zoom with Azcentral, Phillips was asked about his wife and daughter after birth. Phillips said,
“That’s my first priority is making sure she’s safe,” “Making sure she’s safe, making sure my fiancée’s safe, and so it’s kind of a hectic time. I’m not gonna say my training is taking a backseat to that, but, you know, that’s not the important thing. Right now, it’s just making sure my family is safe and everything like that.”

Due to the outbreak, Phillips and Gray could only have one other person in their room with them, other than hospital staff.
They had their temperatures checked as they went in. He had to hold his daughter Maya after she was delivered up to the hospital window to show family who could not be in the room.
Even when they went to their house, they were focused on social distancing. Phillips added,
“The hardest thing so far is everyone wants to meet the baby, but we have to do it through the window,”
