Breanna Stewart, wife Marta Xargay announce birth of baby girl Ruby Mae

The Seattle Storm's Breanna Stewart and her wife, retired Spanish pro hooper Marta Xargay, have added something new to their lengthy list of accomplishments. No, it's not Stewart's recently-earned Olympic gold medal — though she acquired both at nearly the same time.

Meet Ruby Mae Stewart Xargay, Breanna and Marta's newborn daughter. She came into the world via surrogate on Aug. 9, just a few days after Stewart won gold in Tokyo.
