NFL Star Cam Newton “Chooses” Amazing Name for Brand New Baby Boy
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton welcomed a baby boy into the world on Christmas Eve — and the name he and girlfriend Kia Proctor "chose" will blow you away!
The baby name Cam, 26, and Kia, 27, picked was … Chosen! Chosen Sebastian Newton, to be exact, reports The Charlotte Observer. And he's a hefty little guy, weighing in at 9 pounds, 6 ounces. Sounds like he has what it takes to follow in Dad's footsteps already!
"My longtime girlfriend and I were extremely blessed to have a son last week. Our family is excited and thank you all for the well wishes!" Cam tweeted. "I’ve been quiet about this because I didn’t want to create a distraction for my team and appreciate the privacy in this joyous time."

Newton kept the news hush-hush until the 30th and didn't reveal their baby's name until New Year's Eve.

Teammates say he's on cloud nine since his first child's birth.
"He’s kind of got a glow," fellow Panthers player Mike Tolbert told the Observer. "You can see something’s different about him, and obviously that’s it. I notice that he’s walking around with a much bigger smile and he’s a little bit more exuberant than anybody would be this time of year on a Thursday." Newton even cradled the football like a baby after scoring a touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday December 27.
Congratulations, Cam and Kia! What a wonderful Christmas gift and way to start the New Year!
