The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, 64, told Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officials that his grandchild was sleeping in a playpen on Saturday, September 26, when a woman entered their Malibu home and grabbed the young one, according to the Associated Press. The couple attempted to “de-escalate the situation” by confronting the stranger and asking to have their grandchild back. However, a “tussle” subsequently ensued between the NFL legend and the intruder.

“Mrs. Montana was able to safely pry the child out of the suspect’s arms,” a statement from the sheriff’s office read, per CNN.

Authorities later identified the attempted kidnapper as Sodsai Dalzell. She fled the scene but was later arrested. She is facing kidnapping and burglary charges for the offense.

Joe and Jennifer, 65, have been married since 1985. The longtime couple share four children: Alexandra Whitney, 34, Elizabeth Jean, 33, Nathaniel “Nate” Joseph, 30, and Nicholas “Nick” Alexander, 28.

It has not been confirmed who the grandchild belongs to.

In 2015, Jennifer opened up about how family is “everything” to the duo. “I think it’s a question of what’s important,” she told San Francisco-based CBS affiliate KPIX at the time. “You make a list of things you need to do and sometimes it gets squashed… one phone call from the kids [is all it takes].”

Joe, for his part, spoke to Mercury News in 2016 about how he’s enjoyed watching his two sons follow in his footsteps by playing football. “It’s a lot of fun, to a certain degree,” he previously said. “The other part can be heart-wrenching at times. I know exactly what their emotions are, whether they’re up or down, and that makes it tough.”

The former athlete added, “You hope they never make a mistake, but you also know that can never be the case. There isn’t anyone who can experience that, who can go through it with them, unless you’ve played the position.”

Aly Raisman: A Day in My Life

Aly Raisman ’s life has looked quite different since she officially hung up her leotard and retired from gymnastics in 2020. But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique. After years of intense training, the three-time Olympic gold medalist found that the method — which involves low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements — not only benefited her body, but her mind too. “When I have a good workout, I feel more calm and I feel more connected to my body,” she told Women’s Health in January. “That is a very different answer that I would have given you a couple of years ago. If I were training, I would have probably said a good workout to me is when I push myself as much as I can … I think I pushed myself enough for most of my life. So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
