ItalianoSydney McLaughlin-Levrone welcomes daughter Savannah Michelle Levrone
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is now a mother.
On July 12, the Olympic track star and her husband, former NFL player Andre Levrone Jr., welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Savannah Michelle Levrone. The couple announced the birth on social media Sunday, sharing black-and-white family photos to mark the milestone.
What happened?
People reported the birth, and NBC Sports confirmed the news. McLaughlin-Levrone and Levrone called Savannah their “blessing” and “joy” in the caption, thanking supporters through the pregnancy. They also wrote they were eager to see what the future holds for their daughter.
The couple first shared the pregnancy in January. They posted beachside maternity photos and sonogram images, calling the baby a long-prayed-for blessing. That announcement came after McLaughlin-Levrone’s last competition at the September 2025 World Championships in Tokyo, where she won the 400 meters in 47.78 seconds. That run set an American record and became the second-fastest women’s 400 meters ever.
Why it matters for Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone
McLaughlin-Levrone, 26, has built one of the most dominant careers in modern track and field. World Athletics lists her as a four-time Olympic champion and five-time world champion. She also holds the world record in the 400-meter hurdles.
Her move into the flat 400 meters has added to her legacy. In 2025, she became the second woman in history to break 48 seconds in the event. That performance capped a historic stretch on the track after years of sharing major career milestones with Levrone by her side.
What comes next?
McLaughlin-Levrone and Levrone married in May 2022 at Early Mountain Vineyards in Virginia. They got engaged the year before. The birth of Savannah marks a new chapter for the couple, one that blends family life with McLaughlin-Levrone’s pursuit of more track and field history.
Fans have flooded social media with congratulations. The family has not shared further plans for Savannah’s upbringing or McLaughlin-Levrone’s return to competition.
