“It might sound old-school of me, but being a mom comes first,” Jessie said in 2018. “My career and personal needs are secondary. If anything gets in the way of me being a good mom or wife, I just say no.”
Here’s everything you need to know about Jessie James Decker and Eric Decker’s four children.

Jessie and Eric’s first child, daughter Vivianne “Vivi” Rose, was born on March 18, 2014.
“Jessie went to the hospital yesterday at 3:30 pm and this morning at 5:36 Vivianne Rose Decker was born, weighing 8 lbs. 2 oz. with lots of hair!” shared a representative of the couple.
“What an incredible life-changing experience! A day of extreme intensity that is filled with raw emotion!” Eric wrote on Instagram after the birth of his daughter. “I am the PROUD husband of such an incredibly strong and loving woman! I am the PROUD daddy of God’s greatest gift on earth, my little princess!”
According to Jessie, Vivianne has always been one of their favorite names before they even knew the baby’s gender. Vivianne has since grown into a sweet older sister to her younger brothers.
After the couple announced that they are expecting baby no. 3 2017, the singer shared that Vivianne was not satisfied with only one younger brother and that she was praying for another sibling. At only 3 years old, she told her mother that it was time for another child.
“She says: ‘Mom, I want a little sister like that [her friend] Ellie, I want a little sister.’ I said, ‘Well, if you really want a little brother or sister, you have to pray to Jesus,'” Jessie told PEOPLE. Vivianne then took it upon herself to make it happen and began praying, even with a rosary in hand. Her other brother, Forrest , was born in 2018.
Vivianne is a huge fan of her parents’ TV show, which aired on E! from 2013 to 2017. Jessie shared in 2020 that their oldest child loved walking down memory lane and often asked to watch Eric & Jessie: The game begins.
“Viv is making me put on our old play one time [in] the moment. She’s smiling so big! Apparently she thinks her parents are funny,” Jessie wrote on Instagram.
In 2021, Jessie marked Vivianne’s first day of second grade with an announcement about her firstborn child. “I am so proud of our little girl and what an amazing young lady she is growing into,” Jessie wrote. “I love love, I love this girl so much and her fierceness, good heart and her desire to learn and never give up! Vivianne Decker, you can be anything you want!”
The eldest Decker child also enjoys the glamor and has attended the father-daughter dance with Erica every year.
In February 2022, Vivianne got a set of braces, and her mom shared the big news with her followers on Instagram, posting a picture of her daughter with a big smile in the orthodontic chair. “Get ready because my baby is growing too fast!” she wrote.

Eric “Bubby” Thomas Decker II joined the Decker family on September 3, 2015 in Castle Rock, Colorado.
“We are so overwhelmed with love and feel so blessed to have him join our family,” Jessie posted on Instagram, posting a photo of the newborn in a soccer jersey. The baby is named after his father, but is affectionately called “Bubby” to distinguish him from his father.
Jessie’s second pregnancy was quite different from her first, telling PEOPLE she wasn’t as sick the second time around. “The first time I threw up every day, I was really sick, really exhausted. This time I have more energy and I don’t feel so sick, I don’t have the urges,” she said before his birth. “The only way I really know I’m pregnant is when I feel this bump growing and the baby moving.”
Little Bubby is known to have a mischievous side. When he was a child, his mom caught him trying to sneak a peek at his Christmas presents. But Jessie also said he has a “soft” side. For his seventh birthday, Jessie shared a photo of Eric Jr. and wrote about her love for the middle child.
“He’s sweet, smart, fierce, strong, shy in the sweetest way, competitive, eager to learn, artistic and loves so deeply,” she said.
The middle Decker child loves football just like his dad. In 2022, Jessie wrote that he wants to play football when he grows up.
Forrest Bradley Decker, 5

The youngest Decker brother, Forrest Bradley, was born on March 31, 2018.
“Welcome to this world Forrest Bradley Decker! My heart is full! #wolfpack complete with a 9lb skinny eating machine (and Decker’s bucket head)!” Eric wrote on Instagram after Forrest’s birth. “Mom sure knows how to raise some babies!!”
Forrest spent some time in the hospital as a child. When he was 2 years old, he was sent to the emergency room for a staph infection, and in early 2021, Forrest was hospitalized for breathing problems and later diagnosed with asthma.
“It’s at the level where he has to do daily treatments — so the inhaler, the nebulizer, all the stuff — and they’re really hoping he’ll outgrow that,” Jessie explained.
Now 5 years old, Forrest seems a happy and active boy. His mom said he was a huge Elvis fan, and the couple even went on a “mommy-son date” to see Elvis biopic in 2022 Little Forrest is such a big fan that he recreated Elvis’ dance moves — in full costume, of course — and even attended one of Jessie’s Dancing with the stars performances dressed as musicians.
“I showed all the kids the trailer and Forrest said, ‘I want to see that movie.’ The other kids said, ‘Yeah, whatever.’ They didn’t care,” Jessie said. “So I took him to a mom-son date and we got popcorn … and we watched and he said, ‘Yeah.’ That was it.”
His mom also shared that the superstar loved Michael Jackson in training and showed off his MJ-style dance moves.

The couple’s fourth child, Denver Calloway Decker, arrived on February 9, 2024.
“Our beautiful baby boy is here,” Jessie wrote on Instagram, sharing that Denver weighed 8 pounds, 7 ounces at the time of his birth.
In August 2023, Jessie announced in an Instagram video that she was pregnant with her fourth child. A few months later, the “My Cowboy” singer revealed that she and Eric were expecting their third son.
“I’m having a boy. Yes, we’re having another boy,” Jessie said during an appearance on Today. – Vivi remains the queen.
A few months after sharing her big news, Jessie celebrated the birth of her child in January 2024. In an Instagram post where she shared photos from the mountain party, she admitted that she was initially hesitant to shower for her fourth child, but her sisters “didn’t would take no for an answer”.
“I had tears of joy as I walked in because I was overwhelmed with love and emotion and just felt so grateful,” she wrote in the caption. “Thank you to everyone who celebrated with me in our cozy cafes. I already love this boy very much.”
