Soccer star Sophia Wilson announces pregnancy with Arizona Cardinals’ Michael Wilson

What’s even better than a gold medal? U.S. soccer sensation Sophia Wilson announced her pregnancy shortly after she married her college sweetheart, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson.

Most fans might know Sophia Wilson by her maiden name, Smith, after she dominated the Paris Olympics with the U.S. national soccer team. She was one of the squad’s star forwards alongside Mallory Swanson and Trinity Rodman — affectionately referred to as “Triple Espresso.”

The Wilsons shared an Instagram post Wednesday showing off their baby’s sonogram.

The pair met when they were freshmen student-athletes at Stanford University. Sophia Wilson went pro the next year, while Michael Wilson stayed on to play football.

The Cardinals selected him in the third round of 2023 NFL draft, but she played in Oregon for the Portland Thorns. They made the long distance work, though, and were married in January during both their offseasons.

Their announcement Wednesday was full of excitement from fans, friends and teammates. Fellow Stanford alum and U.S. national team star Naomi Girma commented “MY HEART.”

Rodman chimed in that her “life is complete.”

The National Women’s Soccer League solidified a new bargaining agreement with the players union that expanded parental and child care benefits last year. Former player Alex Morgan, who retired last year after she announced her second pregnancy, said those benefits were a point of pride.

Morgan told ABC’s “Good Morning America” last year that the union had to think “outside of the box” as such issues are not prevalent in most men’s leagues.

“We’re able to now travel with our children and bring [a] child care provider but also look at future planning, as well, for our families, and that’s providing players with access to fertility clinics and a lot of other resources that weren’t available to us before,” Morgan said.

Sophia Wilson is in the final year of her contract with the Thorns, and she would be a free agent once it expires. There are no NWSL teams in Arizona, but there is a team in San Diego, and a new team was approved for Denver this year.
