Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schröder announced his engagement to girlfriend Ellen last August. 

Schröder used an unconventional approach to asking his girlfriend’s hand in marriage. The 24-year-old employed the use of a helicopter.

Dennis didn’t play against the Portland Trailblazers, citing personal reasons for his absence. 

Now we know why. 

He and his fiance welcome their first child together. 

Check out his post:

The next step for the happy family is a wedding, which will be held in Hamburg this Summer.
