Former U.S. Women’s National Team goalkeeper Hope Solo made a heartwarming announcement Tuesday. Solo and her husband are expecting twins, one boy, and one girl.
“My husband and I get to practice equality from the very beginning with one boy and one girl,” Solo said on beINSPORTSUSA. “Miniature soccer team on the way.”
The pregnancy announcement comes after the 38-year-old opened up to Elle magazine about her miscarriage in 2018. At the time of the miscarriage, Solo was running for president of the U.S. Soccer Federation and she “was hours from dying,” she said.
Following the miscarriage, Solo learned that she had been pregnant with twins then and one was ectopic. The abnormal location of one of the first twins led to Solo having one of her fallopian tubes removed. She began in vitro fertilization following the miscarriage.
