The baby was placed on Xargay's bare chest just moments after being born, and Stewart cut the cord. 9, just a day after Stewart returned from Tokyo. The surrogate was induced on time and Ruby came into the world on Aug. Thankfully, Ruby Mae stayed inside until she was supposed to. If she came early, Stewart would still be in Tokyo and would miss the birth. But at their 29-week checkup, they discovered that their baby girl was ahead of schedule by two weeks and looked like a 31-week old fetus. The baby was due to arrive just after Stewart would return home from the Olympics. Timing wise, the pregnancy had been planned perfectly. Just days after WNBA superstar Breanna Stewart won Olympic gold in Tokyo, she came home to an even bigger celebration. Two days after winning gold in Tokyo, the WNBA superstar and her wife brought home an even more adorable prize. Thank you to for documenting our journey. Basketball Stars Breanna Stewart and Marta Xargay Casademont Welcome First Child. Excited to introduce Ruby, born on 8/9/21, to the world. Stewart, 26, and her wife, now retired Spanish basketball player Marta Xargay Casademont, 30, welcomed daughter Ruby Mae Stewart Xargay, via surrogate on Aug. The best part of this year has been becoming a mother and growing a family with my incredible wife. “Just to have this special time in life to ourselves for a while.” “We just wanted to share this with a very close circle,” Stewart told the New York Times last week. They told their parents and just a few of Stewart's teammates. However, they kept the news almost entirely to themselves. They found one in Idaho, and the pregnancy took hold. Stewart had frozen her eggs in 2019 while she was recovering from a torn ACL, so she and Xargay started interviewing surrogates. But the couple had decided they wanted to have a child last summer while Stewart was playing in the WNBA bubble. Stewart and Xargay, who have been together since they met while playing in Russia in 2019, married just a few months ago in an informal ceremony. “It will not be easy, but why can’t I be the best player, a mom and have a child in the way we have done?” Use them in commercial designs under lifetime, perpetual & worldwide rights. “I’ve always known I wanted to have a family, always wanted to be a younger mom,” Stewart, 26, said in the documentary. The couple's journey to motherhood was documented by Togethxr, and shows how they wanted to defy expectations and blaze their own path to become parents on their own terms.
