On Monday, Jim Kelly's daughter Erin posted pictures from her maternity photoshoot with her husband, Parker Bean, on Instagram. Interestingly, in her post, Erin said that the maternity photoshoot was a "little spontaneous."

For her last photoshoot with her baby bump, Erin returned to the venue where her wedding photoshoot took place. Talking about her excitement for the upcoming final "few weeks” of her pregnancy, Erin wrote:

"We decided to do a little spontaneous photo session before B.B. is born. We went back to the same place where we took our wedding photos. So much has happened in the last 7 years…and nothing more incredible than this!!! The next few weeks will be filled with nesting, resting, and praying every day as we prepare to welcome our son!"

Even in retirement, Jim Kelly continues to support the Buffalo Bills in any way he can. Kelly has been quite open about appreciating young talent in the league. When Josh Allen won the 2024 NFL MVP award, the quarterback received a heartfelt message from Kelly.
