USWNT’s Crystal Dunn is expecting her first child in May, but that hasn’t stopped her from doing some exercise. Crystal Dunn posted a video of herself training while pregnant on her social media sites on Tuesday, and she’s still at it six months later.
Dunn and her husband, Pierre Soubrier, revealed in November that they were expecting a human kid to join their five hens and three cats. Dunn joined the Portland Thorns in 2020, and Soubrier is the head athletic trainer for the team, so it’s understandable that she’s not taking it easy, even while pregnant.
