Orlando Pride star Sydney Leroux announces she is pregnant

Orlando Pride star Sydney Leroux announced she is pregnant, sharing the news in humorous fashion on her Twitter account.

Leroux and her husband, Orlando City striker Dom Dwyer, had difficulty conceiving their second child, with Leroux announcing she previously had a miscarriage during the Pride’s 2018 season.

To announce the happier news, she posted an image of her son, Cassius, crying in front of a photo of a baby captured via sonogram. The caption read, “Don’t worry Cassius. Mommy and daddy cried too.”
