https://x.com/JonRahmOfficial/status/1841162228596109673?t=04AdEqZBzh3New5VRLqAbw&s=19Jon Rahm, the two-time Major champion, recently shared joyful news with his fans. A day before the start of the Open de España at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, it was announced that Rahm and his wife, Kelley Cahill, had welcomed their third child. Almost a week later, Rahm introduced their newborn to his 344,000+ followers on X (formerly known as Twitter), sharing heartwarming photos of their baby girl and revealing her name: Alaia Cahill Rahm.

Rahm captioned the post with gratitude, writing, “So blessed to have welcomed our daughter Alaia Cahill Rahm into the world last week. Mama and baby girl are both healthy and doing great, I can’t wait to get back home to them.” Alaia is a unique name, with its origins in the Basque region, as well as connections to Arabic and Hebrew. The name carries beautiful meanings, including ‘well born’ and ‘sublime.’

Currently, Rahm is participating in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland, marking his second event of the season on the DP World Tour. To maintain his Tour card, Rahm must play in at least two more events, a requirement to ensure his eligibility for the 2025 Ryder Cup. However, this journey toward Ryder Cup qualification became more complex when Rahm signed a contract with LIV Golf in December 2023.

**Jon Rahm’s Family: A Glimpse into His Personal Life**

Rahm’s personal life has been a source of inspiration for many. He is married to Kelley Cahill, whom he met while they were both students at Arizona State University. During their time there, Rahm excelled in golf, while Cahill was a talented track and field athlete. Their relationship blossomed during college, and after graduating in 2017, the couple settled in Scottsdale, Arizona, where they still reside today.

In 2019, Rahm and Cahill tied the knot in Bilbao, the largest city in the Basque Country, Spain, where Rahm was born and raised. Two years after their wedding, they welcomed their first child, a son named Kepa, born in 2021. The following year, their second son, Eneko, joined the family in 2022.

Jon Rahm, born in 1994 in the Basque village of Barrika, comes from a rich cultural heritage. His father, Edorta Rahm, is also from the Basque region, while his mother, Angela Rodriguez, hails from Madrid. Additionally, Rahm has Swiss ancestry on his father’s side, tracing his lineage back to a Swiss cabinetmaker who settled in the Basque Country in the late 18th or early 19th century.

A passionate supporter of Athletic Club de Bilbao, Rahm’s connection to the football (soccer) team runs deep. His grandfather, Sabin, served as a club delegate for over 30 years, fostering a strong bond between Rahm and the team. This lifelong loyalty was recently highlighted when Rahm was invited to kick off an Athletic Club de Bilbao match. He also revealed that, for a long time, he kept a captain’s armband from the club hidden in his golf bag as a symbol of his devotion.

Despite his busy professional life and international commitments, Rahm remains deeply connected to his roots and his growing family. As he continues his career on the DP World Tour and prepares for future tournaments, his fans and family eagerly await his return home to his wife Kelley and their three beautiful children, Kepa, Eneko, and baby Alaia.
