Kate Florio triumphed in the Philadelphia Marathon on Sunday, clinching victory just one year after welcoming her first child. During the family’s appearance on the TODAY show a few days later, her son Nico stole the spotlight, eager to join in on the celebration.
The 1-year-old proudly wore an adorable green and white Eagles letterman jacket emblazoned with "Go Birds" during his morning show appearance. The back of the jacket featured a bald eagle clutching a football.
The enthusiastic toddler eagerly rushed over to the show's hosts as they presented the thrilled Eagles fan with an orange onesie that read, "Wake Me for TODAY.”
Nonetheless, Nico undeniably stole the show during the segment highlighting his mother, Kate’s impressive victory at the finish line. Kate became only the second Philadelphia resident to win the city's marathon in the past 36 years.
