'It has been a rollercoaster of a journey to get to this point,' Lloyd said. 'We are beyond excited to be parents!'
Retired U.S. women’s national team star Carli Lloyd and her husband Brian Hollins are expecting their first child after going through multiple rounds of in vitro fertilization. Lloyd announced her pregnancy on Instagram on Wednesday and said her baby is due in October. “It has been a rollercoaster of a journey to get to this point,” Lloyd wrote.
After her retirement, she struggled to get pregnant and eventually began IVF treatments in April 2023. “It was a waiting game that we literally had no control over,” Lloyd said in the essay. “And it’s hard. I felt all the emotions during my career — stress, worry, fear, anxiety — but I’d never felt all the emotions that IVF brought on. I felt completely out of control. It’s an indescribable roller coaster unless you go through it.
