Barrett shares three other children with Jordanna — sons Braylon, 10, and Shaquil Jr., 11, as well as daughter Aaliyah, 8. The couple also shares daughter Arrayah, who died in a drowning accident at the family's home last April, just weeks after her second birthday.
In July, the couple shared their exciting baby news on Instagram.
"A few weeks after our sweet girls heaven day, Shaquil and I found out we were expecting," Jordanna began in the caption of the post that featured a photo of a positive pregnancy test alongside the text "Allanah Ray February 2024."

At the time of the pregnancy announcement, Barrett had recently returned to the field after an Achilles injury sidelined him. Despite his frustration over the injury, the linebacker told ESPN it was a blessing in disguise because it gave him more time with Arrayah before her tragic death.
"This is a daily battle. Tough battle," Barrett told the outlet on July 31 as he reflected on the loss of his child. "Today I felt it heavier today than I did the last couple days."
"Her smile — I just miss her so much. Her energy, just like putting her to bed every night, reading stories," he added. "She just brought so much brightness and wholeness and completeness to our lives."
