By Stig Editor “I’ve Got Baby Fever”: How Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone Balances Her Olympic Dreams With a Deep Desire for Family and Motherhood
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone isn’t just a record-breaking sprinter or Olympic gold medalist she’s a woman with deeply rooted values, a heart grounded in faith, and a tender vision of the future that goes far beyond the finish line. While the world watches her dominate the track, Sydney has quietly shared a desire that many of her fans find deeply relatable: the dream of starting a family.
In recent interviews and her memoir Far Beyond Gold: Running from Fear to Faith, Sydney opened up about what life after track might look like. And at the center of that vision? A home filled with love, laughter, and children.
> “When I think about my life after the track, I dream of starting a family,” she writes in her book. “If and when that happens, I will leave to the Lord’s timing, but the desire is strong in my heart.”
Inspired by trailblazing moms like Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who returned to track and field stronger after motherhood, Sydney sees no reason why she can’t do the same. She even admitted in an interview with Today.com that she has “baby fever” and is looking forward to the day she becomes a mother.
> “I do really aspire to be a mom one day. I have baby fever, but I control it very well. I love babies,” she said with a smile.
Married to former NFL player Andre Levrone Jr., Sydney’s vision of family isn’t just a distant hope it’s a plan she’s actively praying and preparing for. The couple shares a strong spiritual bond, and Sydney frequently credits her relationship with God for guiding her personal and professional journey.
Her desire to become a mom doesn’t mean stepping back it means stepping forward into a new chapter with the same determination that has fueled her athletic greatness. In fact, she believes motherhood might make her even stronger.
> “I’ve heard that when you have a child and come back you’re even stronger,” Sydney said in a heartfelt moment that showed her openness to embracing life’s next big challenge.
While Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone continues to chase new records and Olympic goals, she’s also running toward something even more beautiful a future filled with faith, family, and unconditional love.
