Joe has gotta hate the fact that the father of his grandchild will be a lifetime criminal.
Former star Jet quarterback Joe Namath's grandkid blitz
Thursday, August 16th 2007, 4:00 AM
Joe Namath has become a grandfather, perhaps a bit sooner than he'd planned.
The football great's daughter Olivia has had a baby girl at 16.
"She was pregnant at 15," says a source. "He claims to be thrilled."
Indeed, the former New York Jets quarterback - who's currently living in Tequesta, Fla. - told top Palm Beach Post columnist Jose Lambiet: "I'm very happy."
Still, Namath's ex-wife, Tatiana, will raise the infant, who is now 2 months old, says the source.
"Tatiana came and picked up the baby and brought her back to California, where she lives," the source added. "Olivia's going to stay with Joe and her sister Jessica in Tequesta, where she's still going to high school."
Edwin Baker, age 19, is the name of the father listed on the birth certificate. An Edwin Baker, 19, of nearby Jupiter, Fla., has been arrested three times in the past year on charges of possession of crystal methamphetamine, grand theft and burglary.
Neither Namath nor his attorney returned our call for comment.
