Daniel Negreanu and his wife, Amanda, welcomed their first child on Friday, November 13. The boy, named Roman, was born at 8:04 a.m. local time and weighed about 4.17 kg, according to PokerNews.

Negreanu shared the news on X. He wrote that the baby eats well and is very calm, and added that Roman is already moving his neck like a football linebacker.

On the name, Negreanu told PokerNews that each parent liked it for a different reason. For him it recalled his Romanian roots, and he also pointed to NHL defenseman Roman Josi of the Nashville Predators. Amanda's reference was Roman Roy, a character in HBO's Succession.

The couple married in 2019 and said in May, in Negreanu's WSOP vlog series, that they were expecting a boy with the help of a surrogate. On November 8 he posted a video of Amanda on a plane to Oregon while they waited for the birth.

Negreanu, 52, won his eighth WSOP bracelet this summer, beating Artur Martirosian heads-up in the $100,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha for $2,257,718. He also finished runner-up to Nicholas Seward in the $26,000 No-Limit Hold'em event at Poker Masters 2026, for $262,500.
