It wasn't what they were expecting.
Finally living and playing in the same city, Dom Dwyer and Sydney Leroux had big plans for their soccer careers in Kansas City for 2016. But it was what they didn't see coming that would change their lives more permanently and intensely than any game ever could.
"Fast forward to January. Something is just off with me, and I called him and we were Facetiming. I was like 'I'm going to take a pregnancy test,'" Leroux said. "So I take the pregnancy test, and we're still on Facetime, and I put it on the counter. I look and it says 'pregnant.' And I don't even say anything. I think I said 'Oh my god.' And I flipped the Facetime screen and so all he sees, as well, is 'pregnant.'"
In their interview with ESPN, Dwyer and Leroux opened up about the pregnancy, their relationship, and how parenthood changes everything.
"I feel so much more of a responsibility now. It's something that we created together," Dwyer said. "When it's your wife, you love them a certain way, but when it's your child, you love them a totally different way."
