It's amazing how she manages to spring this news on us as a fait accompli!

Happy for her!

And now we wait for two months to see her posting photos and videos with an amazing post baby body in her 40s.

It makes me think of the poster “belladella” (Dell) from MKF. She must be tickled by the name!

She and Trusova are the only women I know who can give birth and then climb a mountain if they so choose. Congratulations to the new Kwan future star.

that this article is mainly a cut and paste job of the Kween's IG posts with some written descriptions of her pictures there. Give us some scoop "People!"

@TanithandBenFan After my initial shock wore off, I immediately thought of "Belladella" too. I have not seen here at a competition in quite a while. I'm sure she is smiling wherever she may be.

I messaged her on Facebook to make sure she saw the news!

Congratulations to Michelle!!!

I thought she divorced her husband almost 10 yrs. ago! Who's the father? I haven't kept up w/ her outside of skating since '05!

She was the first to comment on instagram. Kalista's middle name is Belle.

The Kween rarely gives "scoops" to any publication! I chuckled when I saw the headline of the People article.

Congrats to My Childhood Idol

Olympic figure skater and former U.S. Ambassador to Belize Michelle Kwan has welcomed her second child!

www.jezebel.com

If you’ll allow me a moment to gush—a fun fact about me is that I was a competitive figure skater until I was 14, and Kwan was one of my earliest childhood idols. I had the books, the posters, the VHS tapes, and I would fall asleep every night envisioning her world-famous spiral sequences. It’s easy to cheer when someone lands a difficult jump combination, but only Kwan could perform a spiral so powerful and so heartbreakingly beautiful that it could bring a tear to your eye. Kwan—one of the most decorated female figure skaters in U.S. history—was one of the first people who taught me what it means to do something so magnificently that it gives people chills.
To this day, “Lyra Angelica”—the program that won her the gold at the 1998 U.S. Nationals and which some argue should have won her the gold at the 1998 Olympics—lives on my writing playlist. I play it whenever I want to summon eight-year-old me, sitting five inches from the television, jaw-dropped and completely spellbound by her performance.
