Nick Foles may have just led his team to a dramatic Super Bowl victory, but his adorable little girl very quickly stole the show and became the real MVP.
The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback celebrated his win on Sunday night with seven-month-old daughter Lily in his arms.
With her tiny NFL denim jacket and bright pink headphones, Lily immediately won a legion of fans as she took center stage.

Foles, who was named Super Bowl LII MVP following the Eagles’ 41-33 win over the Patriots, was met on the field by Lily and his wife Tori Moore.
He then held his daughter tightly as he wept and cheered as he soaked up the glory during the post-game celebrations.
While Foles was being interviewed after the game, Lily repeatedly tried to grab the microphone – totally unaware of the celebrations around her.
‘Lily really likes this mic. She has no idea,’ Foles laughed.
Social media went into overdrive as Lily’s newfound fans praised her for being a ‘rock star’ and the ‘real MVP’.

Her 29-year-old went on to praise his beloved team after the game.
‘To be here with my daughter, my wife, my teammates, this city… we are very blessed,’ he said.
‘We have been wanting this for a long time, and I am just blessed to be a part of it.
‘We have such a great group of guys, such a great city to play for and I am proud to be a Philadelphia Eagle.’
Foles ended up throwing the go-ahead five-yard touchdown pass to tight end Zach Ertz with 2.21 remaining to put the Eagles in position for the win.
The backup quarterback was called into action after week 14 of the season when the Philadelphia’s star QB Carson Wentz endured a season-ending injury.
Foles ended up becoming the first quarterback in Super Bowl history to catch a touchdown on the trick play when tight end Trey Burton threw a one-yard pass to him with 38 seconds remaining in the second quarter.
