Brit said her heart breaks for anyone struggling to have a baby and she hopes they too get their miracle one day.
They told the world their exciting news by sharing a photo showing the athlete holding a small soccer jersey with his player number and “dad” written on the back.
Alongside the photo, Brit wrote: “Our dreams have come true, Joel and I are grateful to be able to share that we have a little one coming into the world,” she wrote.
‘We couldn’t make this announcement without recognizing those struggling with infertility or loss. I know how much my heart would break every time I saw a pregnancy post and my heart truly goes out to you if this is how you feel right now.
‘These last few years have changed me forever. To anyone who has lost hope right now, I’ve been there and I’m thinking about you, and I hope one day soon you get your miracle.’
