Riley Gaines recently shared the joyous news of her daughter, Margot, joining her family. The announcement came via social media, where Gaines posted a heartfelt image with her husband, Louis Barker, proudly embracing their newborn.

“There’s nothing that could’ve prepared me for a love like this. God has blessed us beyond belief. Welcome to the world, sweet Margot,” Gaines expressed, underscoring the couple’s joy.

Highlights from Gaines’ Pregnancy Journey

During her pregnancy, Gaines took part in an impressive swim by covering a 1.25-mile distance to the famed Alcatraz prison. This remarkable feat was accomplished alongside U.S. Navy SEALs, combat veterans, and her husband while she was 31 weeks pregnant.

Gaines first announced her pregnancy in June at a Turning Point USA event in Texas. It was at this event that she addressed comments made by Olympic gymnast Simone Biles regarding the contentious debate over transgender athletes in women’s sports.

“The next generation that our little girl is going to be a part of, that is who you all are fighting for and who Turning Point is fighting for,” Gaines emphasized. Her words highlighted the importance of advocacy and the fight for fair competition in women’s sports.

Louis Barker, her husband, echoed these sentiments, thanking the audience and encouraging them to continue their efforts.
