Poker Pro Daniel Negreanu and Wife Amanda Expecting Baby Boy

Poker legend Daniel Negreanu and his wife Amanda are expecting a baby boy. The couple announced the news via Negreanu's annual WSOP vlog. The video includes an ultrasound of the forthcoming newest addition to the Negreanu family. Negreanu said the couple was 15 weeks along in the pregnancy via a surrogate and were delighted to be having their first child. He later revealed that they were having a boy.

The baby is expected in late November. The 51-year-old poker pro said the couple had made some changes over the last year that included adjusting schedules to wake up earlier and get to sleep earlier as well, much-needed for new parents.

In other news, Daniel Negreanu won the $50,000 Poker Players Championship at the WSOP in 2024. He was happy to finally add some more WSOP hardware. “This is the tournament,” Negreanu said. “This is the one where all the best players show up. The structures are very long. It’s a real grind and to stay, meant to be sharp for five days. When you win this tournament, you earn it, and there’s no fluking the $50,000 Poker Players Championship.”
