Back in July, Solo talked about her miscarriage in Elle Magazine. She revealed the miscarriage happened in 2018. She went back to the doctor one week after the miscarriage because she was in pain and that’s when she learned that she was carrying twins.
“The doctor said I was hours from dying,” she said via PEOPLE. “They ended up having to remove my fallopian tube.”
Solo, 38, was a goalkeeper for the U.S. Women’s Soccer team from 2000 to 2016. During her time with the USWNT, she won a World Cup and two gold medals in the Summer Olympics. She also spent time with various professional teams in the U.S. including the Atlanta Beat and the Seattle Reign.
Stevens, 40, played tight end in the NFL from 2002-2010. He spent his first five years in the league with the Seattle Seahawks and he then spent four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Stevens and Solo have been married since 2012.
