Xargay, who is from Spain, is also a professional basketball player. "Becoming a mom is bigger than anything else that I've done and I look forward to every beautiful and challenging moment as a family of three." "Ruby's arrival has been the best part of 2021 and easily one of the best moments of my life," said Stewart. They announced the birth today on social media. The Seattle Storm star and her fiancée, Marta Xargay Casademont, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Ruby, via a surrogate on Aug. In the last month, Breanna Stewart has earned a lot of titles: WNBA Commissioner's Cup MVP, Tokyo Olympics gold medalist, FIBA's Olympics MVP. Near the end of the documentary, Stewart and Xargay showed off their family's most recent acquisitions: little Ruby Mae wearing Stewart's new Olympic gold medal.Watch Video: US leaving Tokyo with most gold Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics up next 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. Thank you to for documenting our journey. Excited to introduce Ruby, born on 8/9/21, to the world. 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?”

“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.
