Former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is now a father.

NFL Network's Andrea Kremer reported Thursday night that Luck's wife, Nicole, gave birth to a daughter named Lucy on Nov. 12.

Luck married Nicole Pechanec in March in Prague in the Czech Republic.

“It was awesome,” Luck said in April. “It was the best day of my life, and probably the best offseason I’ve ever had.”

Luck and Pechanec met as students at Stanford and have been together for more than decade. Pechanec was born in Newark, New Jersey to Czechoslovakian parents. She moved to the Czech Republic at 15 to train with the country's national team. Pechanec represented the country in the World Games and European Championships, returning to the United States to attend Stanford, where she was a captain for the gymnastics team and participated in two NCAA finals.

Luck announced the pregnancy in June, telling WTHR he was "really excited, but terrified."

"It's probably the most exciting/terrifying thought or idea and it certainly feels more real every day," Luck said. "I hope I could do all right. (There are) a lot of people to lean on for advice and we'll see what happens."

Luck retired from football in the preseason when he stunned the NFL world by stepping away from the team after injuries had taken their toll the last few seasons.
