Candace Parker is excited to become a mom of three kids!
On Thursday, the WNBA star announced that she and her wife Anna Petrakova are expecting their second child together. Parker shared a carousel of photos on Instagram and also shared that she and her partner are celebrating four years of marriage.
“Parker starting 5 loading! Mama and Mommy are switching from man-2-man to zone defense this spring! After four years in the game we are focused on building our roster. We know this rookie will add to our depth chart and contribute versatility to our team.”
She humorously continued, “The rookie will join our current roster consisting of a shooter, point forward, rebounder, and little Tikes rim attacker! The team as a whole struggles with clock management and a little bit on the defensive end. We are hoping the young buck will play their role, bring iQ, hustle, length, athleticism and passion to this team. ”
Closing the announcement, Parker wrote, “There will be competition at the toddler position, but we will see how training camp plays out. We are super excited for this draft and Team Parker cannot wait to welcome this new star to our team. We love you already!”
Already a devoted mom to 14-year-old daughter Lailaa and nearly 2-year-old son Airr Larry, Candace Parker’s decision to join the Las Vegas Aces earlier in the year was driven by her desire to spend more quality time with her wife and children.
Affirming the importance of family, Parker said in an Instagram post, “My family is my reason and my purpose.They have given me the greatest joys I’ve ever experienced and continue to show me new levels of love and devotion I never knew existed.”
She further emphasized, “Good, bad, win, loss … My highlight is going to see my kids after games. Fifteen-year difference and my heart is still exploding. I love y’all SO MUCH.”
