Ryan Murphy’s family did a heartwarming gender reveal for the Team USA swimmer at the Olympics

In what could be his final Olympics, star United States swimmer Ryan Murphy kept his medal streak alive on Monday.

Murphy won the bronze medal in the men’s 100-meter backstroke at the 2024 Paris Olympics, an event he also won bronze in during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and gold at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

But Murphy was rewarded with a moment even sweeter than medal No. 7 as his wife, Bridget, and the rest of his family surprised him with a gender reveal in the form of a sign in the crowd announcing that they would be having a girl.

Talk about an awesome day.

Murphy’s run at the Olympics may not be done yet as he has a chance to go for the fifth gold medal of his career later in the Games as he could once again be a part of the men’s 4×100 medley team, with which he won gold in each of the last two Olympics.
