Allyson Felix and her family are now a party of 4 after she and her spouse Kenneth Ferguson welcomed their son, Kenneth Maurice Ferguson III, into the world on April 10.
Already the parents of 5-year-old daughter Camryn, Felix and Ferguson announced their 2nd child was on his way in November 2023, unveiling that after some struggles with fertility, they were able to conceive via IVF.
On April 19, Felix opened that she had successfully delivered her son, Trey, with the help of her doula and doctor, and the support of her spouse, writing on Instagram, “After the traumatic and life threatening delivery I had with Cammy due to Concerning pre-eclampsia, the most important stuff I wanted from this birth was for my son and I to survive. I’m so grateful to God that we did! I was blessed to have the unmedicated [vaginal birth after caesarean] that I wanted so badly. Instead of sharing the usual challenges and traumas around birthing, I get to share the most pretty, powerful, ridiculously hard yet insanely rewarding experience.”
She also addressed, “My heart is bursting with gratitude because, this time it’s a story of joy and healing. Having a doctor who looked like me, understood my fear, listened and made me feel safe was everything!” People confirms that the baby boy was born on April 10, and that his full name is Kenneth Maurice Ferguson III.
Fellow athletes additionally figure skater Michelle Kwan, swimmer Natalie Coughlin and tennis champ Naomi Osaka left ecstatic comments on Felix’s post, which shows serene black and white images of her family just after Trey’s arrival.
