Olympic gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and former NFL wide receiver Andre Levrone Jr. are welcoming their first child into the world, the couple announced on social media Thursday.
The heartwarming announcement included some photos of the couple on the beach holding the sonogram images of their future child.
“Made a human with my favorite human,” McLaughlin-Levrone wrote in the post. “Oh, how we have prayed for you… and the Lord has answered!! You are our greatest blessing and are already so loved. We are eagerly waiting to meet you!”
She concluded the post by writing, “Cool parents loading…”
The pair have been married since 2022, tying the knot nine months after the former football player dropped down to one knee in August 2021.
McLaughlin-Levrone owns the title of 400-meter world champion and is a four-time Olympic gold medalist.
She took home gold in the 400m hurdles and the 4x400m relay during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and in Paris three years later.
Last September, McLaughlin-Levrone won gold in the 400m at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, doing so in a record time of 47.78 seconds, making it the fastest lap by any woman in 40 years when Marita Koch finished in 47.60 seconds in 1985.
Levrone played two years in the NFL, spending time with the Ravens in 2018 and the Panthers the following year before announcing his retirement in September 2020.
He played his college football at the University of Virginia and was originally undrafted.
