Julie Ertz and Zach Ertz Pass Son Madden Between Them for Quick On-Field Kiss During Cardinals Game

The athlete couple has brought Madden along to celebrate some big moments already at 13 months

Zach Ertz had some special support in the stands during a recent game.

During the Arizona Cardinals week two game, the tight end, 32, was cheered on by his two favorite people — wife and recently retired USNWT star Julie Ertz, 32, and son Madden Matthew, 13 months.

Video shared by the team on Instagram shows Julie holding Madden up against a railing as Zach comes over and she passes the baby down to him. Dad sneaks in a quick kiss and a photo as he warmed up for the game.

As he passed Madden back, Zach shared a kiss with Julie, in a sweet moment she shared on her Instagram Sunday, simply captioning the shot, "Family ❤️."

Last week, the soccer star had a sentimental night on the pitch playing her final game with the USWNT. In a tribute on X (formerly Twitter), Zach shared his appreciation for his wife — for her professional and personal accomplishments.

"You’ve given your everything to this game,” Zach said in the video message. “You’ve won at the highest levels and have done it with grace, commitment, passion and courage. Madden and I couldn’t be more proud of what you’ve done, and more importantly, who you are.”

That night, the soccer star went out on her own terms, explaining that she could keep playing, but decided this was her time.

"It's not because Mama can't play. Mama can play," she told the media ahead of the farewell match.

Madden also got to see his mom play in the World Cup, a moment which Julie shared a photo of in July. A powerful shot on Instagram showed all the women of the team facing Julie, who held Madden in her arms as she stepped onto the pitch.

"No words can describe sharing this journey with my son," she wrote. "Madden has 22 of the coolest and inspirational aunties in the world!"
