Story summary

Will Smith’s wife, Cara, announced on Instagram that they had their third daughter, Carter, born on October 14, 2026, just hours before Game 3 of the NLCS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers. This marks the third consecutive October birth for the couple, following Charlotte in 2022 and Layton in 2024. The Dodgers face a 2-0 deficit heading into Game 3, with Smith set to return to play immediately after Carter's arrival. If the Dodgers cannot recover from this deficit, Smith will likely watch the World Series from home instead of competing for the third consecutive year.
