Former U.S. women’s soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo revealed Monday she was pregnant with twins.
Solo made the revelation while co-hosting a beIN Sports show. The 38-year-old World Cup champion said she was having a boy and a girl and joked that a “miniature soccer team was on the way.”
Solo is married to former NFL tight end Jerramy Stevens.
Her announcement comes months after she revealed in an interview with Elle Magazine in June that she was moments from death after suffering a miscarriage while she was running for president of the U.S. Soccer Federation last year.
"The doctor said I was hours from dying,” Solo told the magazine. “They ended up having to remove my fallopian tube.”
