Beach Volleyball Champ Kerri Walsh Is Expecting Her First Child

Beach Volleyball superstar Kerri Walsh is pregnant with her first child, the two-time Olympic gold medalist confirmed to Billy Bush in an exclusive interview for Access Hollywood and “The Billy Bush Show.”

On Wednesday morning she said:

“I’m chubby and I’m pregnant and it’s awesome!”

It appears Kerri and husband Casey Jennings brought home a little surprise from the games in Beijing:

“How pregnant are you?” Billy asked.

“About 16-and-a-half weeks,” she revealed.

“Let’s do the math… that goes back to about the beginning of August,” Billy noted.

“Well, they way they date pregnancies is a little bit confusion. We believe we conceived during our last days in Beijing, or about a couple of days after we won the gold medal.”

But Billy challenged her on the math.

“I don’t think so!” he said jokingly with her. “If it’s sixteen-and-a-half weeks, that’s one week into August! Kerri, have you considered honestly that you were pregnant at the time when you won the gold medal?”

“I think it’s impossible, but you never know!” she admitted. “I don’t want to get into all of the details, but I’m pretty sure it was a couple of days after.”

Kerri also revealed she thinks it’s a boy, but isn’t certain:

“We don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, and we aren’t trying to find out,” Kerri told Billy. “We have a feeling it’s a boy, but we’re going to find out the traditional way.”

She adds that getting used to a more rounder body is taking some getting used to:

“I’m used to living my life in a bikini and I’m definitely not bikini-ready,” she joked with Billy. “I think the chubbiness is all relative, but it’s for the very best cause in the whole world, and I’m proud of it. I’m just going to stay off the beach for a while, how about that?”
