Maddie is a rainbow baby, and her parents are high school sweethearts.
From high school sweethearts to long-distance relationship partners, Maddie’s parents have been together for a long time — 22 years. Both parents are from first-generation families from the Philippines. Dad Jun is a lieutenant colonel physician in the Air Force while mom Crystal is a dentist.
As a military family, Crystal and Jun hope to be stationed overseas again so they can teach Maddie about the world, and Crystal says they look forward to “witnessing her grow into a kind, compassionate, strong, independent and worldly individual.”This year, parents were also encouraged to submit a photo of themselves as babies in the search, along with their child, to help celebrate the nearly 100 years since Gerber was founded in 1928.
Gerber President & CEO Tarun Malkani says the throwback photo of Maddie and her mom at the same age “brought a smile to the judges’ faces,” while her story is filled with love, resilience and adventure, which “embodies the spirit of generations of Gerber babies.”As the 2023 Gerber Baby, Maddie will be featured on the brand’s social media channels and marketing campaigns.
To help babies all over the country, Gerber also donated $25,000 to the March of Dimes’ maternal and infant health programs.

If someone does emerge as a lead back, Khalil Herbert could be the favorite thanks to his efficiency and his familiarity with the coaching staff and system. He's already caught as many passes (23) in two seasons as new RB acquistion D'Onta Foreman has in his six-year NFL career.
