Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson and his wife, Dr. Alisa Hendrickson, revealed on Tuesday that they are expecting their second child. The couple shared the news with a photo posted by Hendrickson on Instagram, taken after they attended Robert Irwin’s Toast to Conservation event at the Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Florida. In the picture, the couple smiled as Alisa Hendrickson gently rested her hand on her stomach, signaling the pregnancy.
“Psalms 86:10,” Hendrickson said in his caption.
Background on Their Relationship and Parenthood
Trey and Alisa Hendrickson have been married since November 2020 in an outdoor beach wedding. They are already parents to a young son, marking this pregnancy as their second addition to the family. The couple’s announcement adds a personal milestone alongside Hendrickson’s professional football career.
Hendrickson’s Role in Amazon Prime’s “Off Season” Docu-Series
Beyond his activities on the field, Hendrickson is featured in Amazon Prime’s new docu-series called “Off Season,” which showcases NFL players and their routines during the offseason. His story appears in the third episode, focusing on his negotiations with the Cincinnati Bengals for a contract extension amid trade considerations. Last spring, the Bengals permitted Hendrickson to explore potential trades, though no deal was made.
“Off Season — out now on Prime Video,” Hendrickson said in the caption.
Contract Developments and Recent Playing Status
Hendrickson delayed his return to Bengals training camp until late July, opting not to participate in practice drills initially. In August, he and the team agreed to restructure his contract, increasing his annual salary from $14 million to $30 million. During the 2025 season, Hendrickson played in only a limited number of games, registering 11 tackles, 16 combined tackles, one forced fumble, and one pass deflection before a hip injury placed him on injured reserve after Week 8.
Significance of the Announcement and What Lies Ahead
The news of Trey Hendrickson’s second child comes as he seeks to solidify his professional standing with the Bengals while managing personal milestones. His contract extension and recovery from injury will be critical for the Bengals’ defensive lineup in the upcoming NFL seasons. The couple’s expanding family adds a layer of personal motivation that may influence Hendrickson’s future both on and off the field.
