Although the couple was all smiles at the baseball game, the pairhadn’t gotten much sleep beforehand.
“We talked babies! They said, ‘We’ve just left [the screaming] – we had that about an hour before we came here!’ ” Rainbow-Jones said, sharing that Harry had revealed he and his wife had pulled an all-nighter trying to put Archie to bed.
“Harry said they had a sleepless night,” added Rainbow-Jones, who was there to support her husband, Nathan Jones, an Air Force service member.
