Shaunae Miller-Uibo will not be defending her 400m title at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest in August. She will also not be running the 200m because she is going to be a mommy!

The 28-year-old two-time Olympic champion has announced that she is pregnant with her first child with husband Estonian decathlete Maicel Uibo, whom she married in 2017.

She made the announcement on Instagram on Saturday.

“New Year, New Blessing. We can’t wait to meet our little bundle of joy. Happy sixth anniversary,” she posted underneath pictures of her and her husband.

Miller-Uibo won Olympic 400 titles at the 2016 Olympics in Rio De Janeiro and defended her title at the 2020 Toyko Games held in 2021. She won her first world title in the 400m in Eugene, Oregon in 2022 after being the runner-up in Beijing in 2015 and Doha in 2019 when she was sensationally beaten by Salwa Eid Naser, who ran a blistering 48.14, the third-fastest time in history.

Last season, Miller-Uibo stated that 2022 was the last time she was going to be running the 400m and stepping down to the 200m.
