Flying From the Olympics to Meet My Baby |
Breanna Stewart is now heading to the Paris Olympic Games as a mom of two.
After Breanna Stewart helped her team win the gold medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she immediately hopped on a plane back to California for the birth of her first child.
"I flew from Tokyo to Los Angeles and from LAX went straight to the hospital, basically," she says. Her and wife, former WNBA player Marta Xargay Casademont, were waiting on the birth of their first child via surrogate. Ruby Mae arrived just one day after Stewart's Olympic win.
Stewart's journey to motherhood started in an unexpected way. "I ruptured my Achilles [when I was 24], and someone who worked within my agency at that time was like, 'Hey, have you ever thought about freezing your eggs?'" It was not yet part of Stewart's plan, but the hiatus from training gave her the perfect opportunity to go through the procedure. "I wasn't playing and looking back, it was one of the best decisions I've made."
