USWNT star Crystal Dunn gives birth to baby boy

The 29-year-old and her husband Pierre Soubrier welcomed Marcel in the early hours of Friday morning

U.S. women’s national team and Portland Thorns star Crystal Dunn has announced the birth of her son Marcel.

Dunn and her husband Pierre Soubrier welcomed Marcel in the early hours of Friday morning, with the baby boy weighing in at seven pounds even and measuring 19.69 inches.

“Welcome to the world Marcel Jean Soubrier,” Dunn said in her post. “I can’t believe I’m somebody’s Mama.”

Dunn and Soubrier, who is the head athletic trainer for the Thorns, announced they were expecting a child in November.

Dunn, who played 15 times for the Thorns last season, was recently seen training with her NWSL side as she continued to work out into her third trimester.

Dunn was one of a number of recent USWNT players who were pregnant, with Julie Ertz, Casey Krueger and Allie Long all set to give birth in the coming months. Long, who like Dunn and Ertz won the 2019 World Cup, is due to have twins next month.

The 29-year-old Dunn has been capped 123 times by the USWNT, most recently in September.
