Alix Klineman is going to be a mom!
The Olympic gold medal-winning volleyball player is pregnant, expecting her first baby, a son, with fiancé Teddy Purcell, the couple announced on Instagram Monday.
The pair shared a series of photos and a video in a joint post on Instagram, many of them featuring photos from her ultrasound. "Lately 🤍," they simply captioned the post.
The first photo shows Klineman, 33, holding up ultrasound images next to Purcell's smiling face. Another photo shows Purcell, a former NHL player, and Klineman laughing and smiling with what appears to be a cake from a party where the couple revealed the sex of their baby on the way.
