Olympic gold medallists Laura and Jason Kenny have announced they are expecting a baby. Mrs Kenny, 24, shared the news with her 153,000 Instagram followers by posting a picture of the couple's bikes next to a child's balance bike.
Their families are said to be 'absolutely thrilled' with the new arrival.
The couple's romance was shared with millions of viewers when an impromptu kiss on live TV after winning Olympic gold medals in Rio last year within 90 minutes of each other.
The cyclists married in an intimate, secret ceremony in September, just weeks after they rode to Olympic glory.
Luke-Lloyd Davies, who represents the couple, said: 'I can confirm that Laura Kenny is indeed pregnant and that she, Jason and their respective families are absolutely thrilled and delighted with the news.
'They very much appreciate all the kind wishes and messages of support they have received already.'
Friends and fans were quick to congratulate the young couple, with fellow cyclist Dani King calling it the 'best news ever.'
While the green child's balance bike in the picture may be for beginners, it's unlikely the child of championship cyclists will need stabilisers for very long.
In fact, Mrs Kenny has already hinted that their child could follow in their Olympic footsteps.
