In September, the longtime U.S. Women’s National Team starsimultaneously announcedher retirement from soccer while also telling the world she’s pregnant with her second child in a bombshell video, days before playing the final competitive game of her career with the NWSL’s San Diego Wave FC.
A month later, Morgan told PEOPLE thatthe pregnancy was a “surprise”for her and her husband, and it forced her to move up her plans for retirement.
“We’re just really looking forward to expanding our family,” the two-time World Cup champion said. “We’ve wanted to do this for a while, but we obviously wanted to find the right time. It came a few months earlier than anticipated, as the pregnancy was a little unexpected, but looking back I’m really grateful for how everything worked out.”
At the time, Morgan said she felt “a little bit more prepared” for her second pregnancy, after giving birth to her and Carrasco’sfirst daughter Charliein 2020.
