Alex Morgan Is Retiring — Here's What to Know About the Soccer Legend

Morgan gave birth to her daughter, Charlie, now 3 years old, on May 7, 2020. And in her retirement video, she announced that she's expecting her second child.

Shortly after Charlie's birth, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics were postponed a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This worked out well for Morgan, giving her extra time to recover postpartum before returning to the field. "It was actually a weight off my shoulders that I didn't realize was there," Morgan told PS in November 2020. "I knew at that point, I can just let Charlie come whenever she was ready."
