On Friday, the NBC Sports analyst, 38, penned a touching tribute to his estranged pregnant wife on Instagram,sharing a black-and-white phototaken from the side.
In the snapshot, Amurri, who bares her bump in black underwear and an open button-up shirt, does her 5½-year-old daughterMarlowe Mae‘s hair. Meanwhile, sonMajor James, 3, looks hesitant behind his mama, perhaps unsure of what to do when it comes to her hair.
“Happy Valentines Day Mama!! ?,” Martino captioned the image. “I thought today was gonna be really hard, and in some ways it is. But today I feel our unbreakable love for one another. I’m proud of us for protecting that and modeling what love is for our children.”
“Today helps remind us that there is aplace in our heart meant for another, and it’s the place in our heart still meant for each other that makes that feel right,” continued the soon-to-be father of three (he and Amurri, 34, are currentlyexpecting their second son together). “I will always carry your heart, carry it in my heart. Love you Mama.”
