Guess it had to take seven NWSL matches and a couple of USWNT camps to know the whereabouts of Mallory Swanson. Since the beginning of the 2025 campaign, the Chicago Red Stars forward was AWOL, leaving not a single clue regarding her absence from on-pitch action. But at last, we finally have a valid explanation, as Swanson shared quite an important announcement, leaving the entire beautiful game fraternity in awe and celebration mode.
Back on January 27, “personal reasons” was how the Chicago Red Stars described the sudden absence of their talented forward, with even the 27-year-old herself not revealing any details. In fact, throughout this period, Mal remained quite active on social media but never specifically addressed her absence from the pitch—until today, when her Instagram post finally gave all the answers!
She shared a collaboration post with her significant other Dansby Swanson. In all three pictures, the sports couple posed in an all-white outfit, matching the background and theme. But what caught the eye of many was seeing Mallory Swanson holding a sonogram in her hand, and posing again while keeping her hand on her stomach. Still need a clue? Well, keep your congratulations and celebration in order as the Swansons are expecting their first baby.
The post captioned, “Our greatest blessing ” really sums up the feeling of the star couple, who almost after three years of marriage, shared this heartwarming news.
