Ryan Fitzpatrick's 7 Kids Are Mostly Kept Out of the Spotlight

Ryan Fitzpatrick's kids are the light of his life, and he seems to pay special attention to them. Although they generally stay out of the spotlight, once in a while, he shows off the skills of his oldest child.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is known for being a former football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL). However, besides being an athlete and football analyst, he's also a loving husband and a doting father to seven children.

In a 2019 interview, some information was shared about his children, although only a little is known about them, especially his youngest ones. One fact about Ryan Fitzpatrick's kids is that they were all born in different states!

During his interview, Ryan confessed that having them born in seven different states is "absolutely crazy," however, he and his family did it with smiles on their faces. The star also confessed how "hard" it was to juggle his career and being a parent.

Ryan said what is most difficult is how fast all his children are growing up. He lamented that he was going to miss many of the things they were going through. The athlete knew allowing him to pursue his career was a big sacrifice for his wife and family. Here's what we know about Ryan's children.

Ryan Fitzpatrick's Kids: Ruby Fitzpatrick and the Youngest Family Member

One of many children Ryan and his wife, Liza Barber, share is their daughter Ruby. The football analyst keeps his children out of the spotlight, so little is known about her. In September 2018, the Fitzpatrick's welcomed another child who pushed Ruby out of the lastborn spot.

Adam Schefter, a sports writer and reporter, took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to reveal the child's birth, welcomed in January that year, but shared nothing more about them.

Zoey and Maizy Fitzpatrick

In December 2015, Ryan was asked if he'd ever had a better or more fulfilling Christmas. His response was "no" because he had five children then. The Christmas before, Liza was pregnant with their baby girl, Zoey, with Ryan noting:

"Each time I have another kid, it becomes that much merrier and more fulfilling, so…"

Little Zoey was only eight months old in 2015, making her the youngest Fitzpatrick child. The newborn was lucky to already have older siblings, with Maizy being a toddler at two years old that year. Both Zoey and Maizy had other older siblings.

More about Ryan Fitzpatrick's Children: Lucy, Tate, and Brady

In 2015, Ryan's other children, Lucy, was four and Tate was six. Tate and his older brother, Brady, once made a rare appearance during their father's press conference. The former NFL player introduced the boys and let them greet the press.

He also showed little Brady's exceptional calculating skills when the boy was challenged to multiply 93 and 97 without a calculator. The little boy surprised everyone when he quickly landed on the answer: 9,021!

In 2017, Ryan revealed that the boys were both defensive linemen on their youth football team. The former athlete shared that he still played football so his children could appreciate and enjoy his career more, with him adding:

"It's been a lot of fun having them in the locker room and around the guys a little bit."

The star was always thinking about ensuring his approach and demeanor were consistent in front of his sons in certain circumstances. In 2019, Ryan revealed that his older sons had him as their starting quarterback on their fantasy football teams.

Ryan said sometimes they let their youngest to oldest children open their gifts.

The trio bonded over the sport, with them often talking to him about how many points he got weekly. The celebrity said they were thrilled to see him playing after being on a constant rollercoaster of him playing, not playing, and then playing again.

Liza's husband believed it was easier when he was playing because he'd be focused and busy. However, as he prepared for the football season, he knew sacrifices would be made, but he was lucky because his children were his "biggest fans."

Ryan once shared how Brady would've missed out on fantasy football points in 2018 if Tate hadn't given him a tip. The younger boy convinced his brother to put their father on his fantasy football team, leaving the parent surprised because he didn't know Brady played it, but it was a great decision!

Ryan's oldest child is a genius because, in 2015, he beat his father in solving a Rubik's cube the fastest! When the former NFL player wasn't competing with his son or testing the boy's math skills, he just enjoyed being at home with his family.

Lia's husband once revealed how they celebrated Christmas when he was still playing football. Between seven and 11:30 in the morning, he and his family tried fitting in as much as they could before he left for his team's facility.

Ryan said sometimes they let their youngest to oldest children open their gifts. Sometimes, they let them do it one at a time, making their mornings long, as they included plenty of food and "chaos."
