Charles Leno, Jr. had more on his mind than playing a game on Sunday.

Jen Leno posted Sunday morning that “our baby girl, Paitynn Maui Leno, gained her wings unexpectedly.”
“Last night our baby girl, Paitynn Maui Leno, gained her wings unexpectedly,” Jen Leno wrote on social media. “She came into this world just like her big sisters, quick & fierce, & was such a fighter.
