Ryder Jay Chepenik

Welcome to the World, Ryder 💙

I’m so excited to share some amazing family news — my nephew, Ryder Jay Chepenik, was born on October 24, 2025!

He’s the second child of my brother Conor and his fiancée Paige, joining my sweet niece Sloan Marie Chepenik, who turns three on January 7.

Fun sidenote: every member of my family has a five-letter name — even my parents! They wanted to keep the tradition alive, which meant my sister Stela got creative spelling. (People sometimes call her “Steel-uh” 😂)

I was traveling with my USF team to Virginia Friday night when Ryder arrived, so I haven’t met him yet — but I absolutely can’t wait.

Family is everything. Cherish yours — there’s truly nothing more special. ❤️
