United States star Mallory Swanson expecting her first child

Mallory Swanson, a 27-year-old forward for the U.S. women's soccer team and winner of last summer's Olympics, is sharing news of her pregnancy with husband Dansby Swanson, a 31-year-old Cubs shortstop, sparking excitement about their new chapter. Despite not playing this season for her club team or the U.S., Mallory remains focused on her family as she continues her career gap after winning medals in 2019 and 2023. Meanwhile, teammate Sophia Wilson also announced her pregnancy earlier in the week, with her husband Michael Wilson, an NFL player, joining the growing list of parents-to-be.
