Iman and Godchaux have been together since April 2022. Iman was previously married to New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard, and the former couple share two children — Cali, 4, and Cassie 3. In May, Iman and Godchaux announced that they are expecting their first child together.
“I feel like I know right away,” Iman says of finding out she was pregnant in an interview with PEOPLE. “I know the minute I miss a period, I’m like ‘Oh God.’ I know what this is because I’ve done this twice already. I really didn’t even need to take a pregnancy test because I already knew. The minute I told my fiancé, he was beyond excited because he has one son and I have two daughters. We both have wanted, not a big family, but we’ve wanted a few more children. When we met each other, we always talked about having a family.”
Godchaux has been with the Patriots since 2021 after spending his first four seasons with the Miami Dolphins. In 86 career games, Godchaux recorded 306 tackles 17 tackles loss, 5.5 sacks two passes defended and two forced fumbles.
