McLaughlin-Levrone and Levrone first revealed in January that they were expecting their first baby. At the time, they shared beachside maternity photos and sonogram images while describing the baby as a long-prayed-for blessing.
The pregnancy announcement came after a major stretch in McLaughlin-Levrone’s career. NBC Sports noted that she last competed at the September 2025 World Championships, where she continued one of the most dominant runs in modern track and field.
McLaughlin-Levrone Has Built a Historic Track Career
