NWSL Star Takes Leave of Absence
US Women's National Team and Portland Thorns star Crystal Dunn has announced that she is expecting her first child with husband Pierre Soubrier. The news comes just weeks after the league placed Soubrier, who is the athletic trainer for the Portland Timbers, on paid administrative leave.
Dunn, who played a key role in the US team's victory at the 2019 World Cup, shared the news on her Instagram account. "We are so excited to share that we are expecting our first baby!" she wrote. "Thank you to our family, friends, and fans for all the love and support."
Soubrier, who also works as a coach for the Oregon State University women's soccer team, has been a constant source of support for Dunn throughout her career. He has helped her manage her return from a serious knee injury and has been a vocal advocate for her on and off the field.
The couple's pregnancy announcement has been met with overwhelming joy from fans and fellow athletes. Many have praised Dunn for her strength and resilience, as she has continued to excel on the field while facing adversity.
Dunn's pregnancy is a testament to the growing number of female athletes who are balancing motherhood with their careers. It sends a powerful message that women can achieve their full potential both on and off the field.
