Former U.S. soccer star Alex Morgan shares first pictures of her second child

Former United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) forward Alex Morgan has taken to social media to share the first images of her second child.

The 35-year-old announced her pregnancy last September, at the same time she shared her heartfelt decision to retire from football.

This week, Morgan posted images of newborn son Enzo, alongside daughter Charlie and husband Servando Carrasco.

“Adjusting to life as a family of four has been a beautiful whirlwind,” she told PEOPLE.

“Watching Charlie step into the big sis role has been so special… we’re soaking in every second.”

It comes following the birth announcement last month, where proud parents Morgan and Carrasco posted an image on Instagram with the caption: “Welcome to the world, baby Enzo.”

She has been documenting the journey post-retirement to share with fans, including a subtle gender reveal in January.

The importance of family has been a cornerstone of Morgan’s career.

Back in her retirement announcement, she said of the pregnancy: “As unexpected as this came, we are so overjoyed.

“To me, family means everything. I wouldn’t be here without my husband and my family uplifting, motivating, encouraging, and supporting me and sacrificing for me for the last 15 years as a professional athlete.”

Her nation’s fifth-highest goal scorer, she is still heavily involved in the progress of women’s football off the pitch – but for now, she is busy ‘soaking’ in the joy of becoming a family of four.
