Double the Joy! North Carolina’s Hubert Davis & Wife Welcome Adorable Twins – UNC Fans Celebrate the Exciting News With Unbridled Enthusiasm
Chapel Hill, NC — July 22, 2025
The University of North Carolina’s beloved head basketball coach Hubert Davis and his wife, Leslie Davis, have just welcomed adorable twin babies, sending waves of joy through the Tar Heel community and beyond. The news broke early Tuesday morning in an emotional press release from the UNC Athletics Department, which confirmed that the couple welcomed a boy and a girl, named Jordan Elias Davis and Carolina Grace Davis, late Monday night at UNC Hospitals.
“Everyone is healthy, happy, and overwhelmed with gratitude,” said Coach Davis, beaming as he stepped outside the hospital to meet reporters. “Leslie and I feel incredibly blessed. This is the best full-court press I’ve ever been a part of.”
A Family Celebration for All of Chapel Hill
The Davis family has always shared a close bond with the Tar Heel faithful, but this news transformed that connection into something deeply personal. Within minutes of the announcement, fans lined the sidewalks near Dean Smith Center holding signs that read, “Two New Tar Heels in the World!” and “Team Davis Just Added Two Stars!”
UNC’s student section, the Carolina Blue Crew, organized a spontaneous on-campus celebration, complete with baby blue balloons and a “Baby Tar Heel Pep Rally.” Even Rameses, the school mascot, was seen delivering a special pair of tiny Carolina jerseys to the Davis household, marked with the names “Jordan” and “Carolina.”
From Hardwood to Home Life
This heartfelt addition comes at a time when Coach Davis is preparing one of the most promising Tar Heel rosters in recent memory. But he made it clear that no March Madness or championship chase compares to this moment.
“Basketball is part of my life, but my family is my life,” he said. “We just went from man-to-man to zone defense at home.”
Players, alumni, and even rivals took to social media to offer their congratulations. Former UNC star and NBA player R.J. Davis tweeted:
> “Coach D just made his greatest assist. Congrats to the whole Davis squad!”
Duke head coach Jon Scheyer also posted a classy tribute:
> “Congrats to Hubert and Leslie — rivalry aside, this is the kind of news that brings joy to the entire college basketball family.”
A Future in Carolina Blue?
Though the newborns haven’t officially enrolled in kindergarten, speculation has already begun among fans about whether Jordan and Carolina Davis will one day carry the Tar Heel legacy forward.
“I hope Coach Davis has a couple of scholarships saved for the class of 2043,” joked UNC Athletics Director Bubba Cunningham. “But no pressure, of course.”
A Reminder of What Matters Most
In an era of NIL deals, transfer portals, and nonstop recruiting cycles, this touching family moment offered a refreshing reminder of what grounds the Carolina basketball program—love, unity, and values that go beyond the court.
As Chapel Hill celebrates the arrival of its newest Tar Heels, Coach Hubert Davis enters a new season with double the motivation—and double the joy.
Welcome to the Carolina family, Jordan and Carolina Davis. Your journey has just begun. 💙
