Congrats! 11X World Champ Kelly Slater is Going to Be a Father (Again)
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Congratulations are in order for Kelly Slater and his longtime girlfriend, Kalani Miller.
The GOAT may have 11 world titles under his belt, two wave pools, and a hell of a lot of other accomplishments, but the latest big news isn't about surfing.
Slater, 52, and Miller just announced that they're having a baby on Instagram.

Miller captioned the post simply with: "🤍"
It's the first child for the couple and the second for Slater, who has a daughter in her late 20s named Taylor from a previous relationship.
Looks like good timing, since Slater might have some downtime career-wise.
After scoring a wildcard for the 2024 World Surf League Championship Tour, Slater competed in the Lexus Pipe Pro and the Hurley Pro at Sunset Beach.
He bowed out of of the third stop on the Championship Tour, the MEO Rip Curl Pro at Supertubos, due to ongoing issues from his recent hip surgery.
But it looks like he'll have his hands full soon.
Maybe it's a good time to retire?
As to be expected, the words of support started pouring in immediately:
Mick Fanning: "Massive congratulations"
Betet Merta: "Congrats guys"
Nathan Florence: "Congrats!!!"
Filipe Toledo: "God bless ! Happy for you guys"
Kai Lenny: "🙌❤"
Molly Lenny: "Cats outta the bag…. Finally!!!!! 🫶🏼🥹 We can’t wait to meet you lil love!!!"
Coco Ho: "🥰😇🥰"
Dylan Graves: "Congrats you guys ❤"
Jamie O'Brien: "CONGRATULATIONS ❤"
