On Saturday, two-time women's World Cup winner Alex Morgan and her husband Servando Carrasco welcomed a new addition to their family, a baby daughter named Charlie Elena Carrasco.
According to Morgan's tweet, the baby was born on Thursday, a bit later than expected, but in her own special way.
"She made us wait longer than expected, but I should have known she would do it her way and her way only. My super moon baby," Morgan wrote on social media.
Morgan, 30, was due to give birth in April and had expressed her hopes of giving birth within the week on ABC's "Good Morning America" earlier in the month.
As a two-time World Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist, Morgan had announced her pregnancy in October 2019, stating that she still intended to play for the USA at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
However, with the Tokyo Games postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Morgan will now have even more time to prepare for the rescheduled event.
Her husband, Servando Carrasco, 31, played in his ninth MLS season in 2019 with the Los Angeles Galaxy.
