He’s only 5’9” but he’s weighing in at 240-250 lbs EASY these days.

Yes, Julianna Hendricks had a daughter recently with Stephen in July 2019. Their daughter’s name is Naomi Moon Marley. Stephen also has another daughter named Soleil Marley. She is around 8 years old, but not sure who her mother is.
