The video received love from well-wishers and fans. One wrote, "You’re going to be the best mama Kelly," while another added, "Spencer would've lived to see this but he's watching up from heaven over you two."
In August, the model shared that she was pregnant on Instagram with a photo of herself holding a sign with the baby's sonogram. She wrote in a heartfelt caption, "We created an angel before heaven gained one 🕊 all you ever wanted was to be a father…I know you’ll be the best one from up above. Can’t believe I have to do it without you but knowing I’ll have a piece of you keeps me going. I can’t wait to meet the person that’s half you, half me. I love you forever, both of you."
Meanwhile, Spencer Webb, the standout tight end for the Ducks died in July when he fell and hit his head near Triangle Lake, about 35 miles from the University of Oregon's Eugene campus.
Spencer Webb's life and career
He reportedly came from a broken family and had been raised by older brother Cody. He was all set to be a part of the Oregon offense in the 2022 season, making his fourth season with the Ducks. Webb was a projected starter for the Ducks this fall. On Jun 25, 2018, he enrolled at the Oregon Ducks.
Sacramento Bee in a profile from 2016 reports how Webb used football to build back up his shattered confidence as he bounced from home to home growing up. Christian Brothers gave him wings. In games, he ran over defenders if he didn’t race past them as a national 4-star recruit. “I grew up faster than a lot of kids,” Webb told The Bee. “I never really had a mom or dad in my life. They chose to do other things, so it’s been me and my brother (Cody Webb). I had a dream, he had a dream, and we’re making that dream happen.”
Webb was raised by his aunt, uncle, and grandparents in Solano County or West Sacramento and midway through high school, Cody, became his legal guardian and raised him along with his wife Alicia.
