After winning big on the soccer field, it’s now time to conquer the world of motherhood.

More than three months after the U.S. women’s soccer team won the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Final, one star athlete had a major announcement to share.

On Wednesday afternoon, co-captain Alex Morgan revealed that she is expecting her first child with fellow soccer stud Servando Carrasco.

“We are already in love and we haven’t even met her yet. Newest member of the Carrasco family, coming soon,” Alex shared on Instagram while revealing their due date in April 2020. Servando added, “Can’t wait to meet my baby girl.”

It’s exciting news for a duo that has captured the hearts of pop culture and sports fans alike for their unbreakable bond on and off the field.

While the couple tries to keep their relationship away from social media and the public eye, both athletes have built a strong relationship worth celebrating.

It all began at U.C. Berkeley where Servando was made senior co-captain of the soccer team. As for Alex, she was impressing soccer scouts with her skills on the women’s team while sharing a room with Real Housewives of Orange County star Kara Keough.

When not studying up and practicing, the duo developed a romantic relationship that took them to Orlando where they continued playing soccer at a professional level.

Fast-forward to 2013 when Servando decided to propose at a fireworks show in Manhattan Beach, Calif.

“He was planning the proposal for that night and asked me to stand up, and then asked me to marry him,” Alex recalled to The Knot. “We rode our beach cruisers to my dad’s house to celebrate and have champagne with our family and friends.”

A New Year’s Eve wedding soon followed in 2014 and life was kicking—no pun intended—until 2017 when Servando said goodbye to the Orlando City soccer club and hello to the Los Angeles Galaxy.

“It’s far from ideal to be that far from your wife,” Servando recently shared with Pro Soccer USA. “We know that this is temporary. We’re only going to be able to play professional soccer for five to six more years. We’ve got to take advantage of this, and know that when we’re done playing, we’re going to be together.”

Alex added to the Orlando Sentinel, “I don’t want to sugarcoat it, it’s not easy…Obviously, with the national team, I’m away for a couple weeks at a time, all the time. So we’ve gotten used to that. Just moving forward, I feel like as much as we can see each other on off weeks or whatever it is, will definitely help.”
