Brit said her heart breaks for anyone struggling to have a baby, and that she hopes they too will get their miracle one day.
They told the world about their exciting news by sharing a photo of the sportsman holding up a small football jersey with his player number and ‘dad’ written on the back.
Brit wrote with the photo: “Our dreams have come true, Joel and I are grateful to share that a little one is coming into the world,” she wrote.
“We couldn’t make this announcement without recognizing those struggling with infertility or loss. I know how much my heart would break every time I saw a pregnancy post and my heart really goes out to you if that’s how you’re feeling right now.
‘The past few years have changed me forever. To anyone who has lost hope right now, I’ve been there and I’m thinking of you, and I hope you get your miracle soon.”
