USWNT Star Sophia Wilson Announces Pregnancy with Husband Michael Wilson

The Portland Thorns forward and Olympic gold medalist is expecting her first child, likely pausing her soccer career for the 2025 season.

Sophia Wilson, formerly Sophia Smith, shared the news on Instagram with husband Michael Wilson, captioning the post 'Life just keeps getting sweeter.'
The couple, who met as Stanford student-athletes in 2018, married in January 2025 and have been together since college.
Wilson, 24, has been a standout for the USWNT and Portland Thorns, earning accolades such as the 2022 NWSL MVP and leading the U.S. to Olympic gold in 2024.
Her pregnancy is expected to sideline her for much of the upcoming NWSL season and USWNT games, with the league’s collective bargaining agreement ensuring six months of paid parental leave.
The Portland Thorns and teammates expressed their excitement and support for Wilson, who has been a key figure in both club and national team successes.
