The Team USA world and Olympic champion took to social media to announce her pregnancy, sharing photos with her boyfriend and an ultrasound image of their baby. She will be taking 2026 off to focus on her pregnancy and await the birth of her first child.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In just two hours, her post received over 190,000 likes and 4,500 comments. It was the big news story of Thursday, January 21.<\/p>\n

The 400-meter world champion at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo, four-time Olympic champion, and record holder in the 400-meter hurdles announced on her Instagram account that she is expecting a baby.<\/p>\n

“I made a human with my favorite human. Oh, how we have prayed for you… And the Lord has answered! You are our greatest blessing and you are already so loved. We can’t wait to meet you! Awesome parents loading…”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The post features a carousel of eight photos with her husband Andre Levrone Jr., a former college and NFL football player.<\/p>\n

They met through social media and began dating in 2020. After getting engaged in August 2021, they celebrated their wedding at Early Mountain Vineyards in Virginia, USA, on May 5, 2022.<\/p>\n

Today, almost four years after their marriage, they announce with the greatest happiness in the world that they will be parents for the first time.<\/p>\n

The love expressed by their more than 1.5 million followers has been overwhelming. Congratulatory messages from other big stars of world athletics, the International Olympic Committee, and of course, Panam Sports can be seen in the comments.<\/p>\n

With this great news, 2026 will be entirely dedicated to motherhood, and Sydney’s fans already want to see her return to high-level competition in 2027 and 2028 to be part of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

The President of Panam Sports, Neven Ilic, his honorable Executive Committee, and the entire Pan American Family congratulate Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and her husband Andre Levrone on this great news that is sure to change their lives forever.
