The girlfriend of a University of Oregon football player who died last month said Monday on Instagram that she is pregnant with his baby.

Kelly Kay announced she was expecting a baby with a series of photos, in which she also tagged boyfriend Spencer Webb, who died in July after he fell and hit his head on some rock slides about 35 miles from the University of Oregon campus. He was 22.

“We created an angel before heaven gained one 🕊 all you ever wanted was to be a father…I know you’ll be the best one from up above,” Kay captioned her post. “Can’t believe I have to do it without you but knowing I’ll have a piece of you keeps me going. I can’t wait to meet the person that’s half you, half me. I love you forever, both of you @spider_”

In her post, Kay shared images of an ultrasound, as well as a text exchange with someone logged in her phone as “Baby Daddy" who appeared to be Webb.

After Webb died, Kay mourned him on Instagram.

“My best friend my twin flame the love of my life,” she wrote. “I’ve never loved anything as much as i love you. You were my everything, you gave me purpose, you showed me what it’s like to be cherished and valued and seen for me. We had so many big plans.

“I don’t know where to go from here but I know you’ll be watching over me keeping me strong. You always put everybody else before yourself and I’ll try to hold the same kindness in my heart ❤️‍🔥 from this life to the next one baby I love you so much and I’ll find you again.”

Police say Webb’s death appeared to be accidental, with no signs of foul play. Oregon football coach Dan Lanning also grieved Webb after he died.

“So full of life in every moment of the day,” Lanning tweeted. “Your smile and energy will be missed Spencer. I love you!”

Webb, who hailed from Sacramento, California, had 13 catches for 87 yards and one touchdown last season. His best season came in 2019 when he hauled in 18 passes for 209 yards and three touchdowns.
