Sophia Wilson pregnant!? You read that correctly, the United States women’s national team striker and “Triple Espresso” member announced on Wednesday that she and her husband Michael Wilson are expecting.
Wilson, née Smith, had perhaps the greatest past year which included winning gold with the USWNT in Paris, marrying NFL receiver Michael Wilson and now announcing her pregnancy.

Sophia and Michael were both athletes at Stanford where they met and started dating in early 2019. Fast forward six years and the pair are set to become parents.
Wilson will miss a good portion of the 2025 NWSL season with the Portland Thorns, but the club have put their full support behind the 24-year-old.

From a pure sports and national team perspective, Wilson picked perhaps the best year for having her first child. Wilson didn’t feature in the SheBelieves Cup which is the only competition for the USWNT in 2025.
With no Olympics or World Cup for another two years, this is the best time to take a hiatus and focus on her family.
Congratulations to the Wilsons!
