Riley Gaines, a conservative activist and former collegiate swimmer, has welcomed her first child with her husband.
Gaines, 25, shared that she had given birth to a baby girl, Margot, on September 29 in a touching Instagram post on Thursday evening.
'There's nothing that could've prepared me for a love like this. God has blessed us beyond belief,' the anti-trans activist wrote alongside photos of her and husband, Louis Barker, cradling their bundle of joy.
Gaines tied the knot with British swimmer Barker in 2022 after the couple met while both swimming for the University of Kentucky in 2019.
The couple announced that they were expecting their first child together in June, shortly after Gaines found herself embroiled in a bitter online feud with Olympic hero Simone Biles over transgender athletes' participation in women's sports.
