Olympic medalist Sally Pearson welcomes first child
Olympic gold medallist Sally Pearson has welcomed her first child with husband Kieran.
The retired Australian athlete shared the news on her social media pages on Wednesday evening. “We would like to introduce you all to Ruby Elizabeth Pearson,” the post read alongside a picture of the pair with their newborn daughter.
Pearson announced her pregnancy in January, five months after retiring from athletics.
“To start the next chapter of our lives with such joy and love is more than we could’ve ever hoped for,” she said then.
The sportsperson has documented her pregnancy journey and preparation for the firstborn on her social media accounts.
In a May interview with the Courier Mail, the 33-year-old said she wanted her child to “be adventurous like me, and not be afraid to try new things”.
