In an interview in the days leading up to Super Bowl LII, Nick Foles teared up while talking about his 7-month-old daughter, Lily. On Sunday night, he celebrated with Lily after being named the Super Bowl LII MVP following the Eagles’ 41-33 win over the Patriots.

“No matter if I play a horrible game, she loves me,” Foles told reporters last week. “She has no idea. If we win the Super Bowl, she has no idea. … To have her here at this game with my wife is the greatest thing ever.”

Social media went wild for Lily, who was decked out in Eagles gear, a denim jacket and pink Beats headphones to block out the loud post-game celebratory noises.
The picture-perfect image of the backup quarterback turned Super Bowl MVP holding his adorable baby girl sent fans into a tizzy.

Foles held his daughter tightly as he wept and cheered, soaking up the glory during the post-game celebrations. At one point during a post-game interview, Lily repeatedly tried to grab the microphone, totally unaware of the celebrations around her.
“Lily really likes this mic. She has no idea,” Foles laughed.
The 29-year-old went on to praise his beloved team after the game.
“To be here with my daughter, my wife, my teammates, this city… we are very blessed,” he said. “We have been wanting this for a long time, and I am just blessed to be a part of it. We have such a great group of guys, such a great city to play for and I am proud to be a Philadelphia Eagle.”
The backup quarterback was called into action after week 14 of the season when Philadelphia’s star quarterback Carson Wentz endured a season-ending injury.
Foles even ended up becoming the first quarterback in Super Bowl history to catch a touchdown on the trick play when tight end Trey Burton threw a one-yard pass to him with 38 seconds remaining in the second quarter.
