Misty Copeland is a mom! In a July interview with People, the famed ballet dancer revealed she welcomed her first child, a son, with husband Olu Evans three months ago. Copeland also said she plans to take time away from the stage to focus on her family. "I'm on maternity leave right now. I have a 3-month-old," she told the outlet. "But I will be back on the stage in 2023, hopefully, in the fall." Copeland added that she and Evans are taking their son abroad this summer to Corsica, France.
Copeland's delayed baby news comes as no surprise as she's known for keeping her private life under wraps, and she plans to keep it that way with her son. However, she's being transparent about seeking guidance on parenthood, telling People that she'll "definitely" be going to her Greatness Wins cofounders - Derek Jeter, Wayne Gretzky, and Untuckit cofounder Chris Riccobono - for parenting advice.
Copeland met her husband back in 2004, according to Elle; she told the outlet Evans was her first boyfriend. The two got engaged in August 2015 and tied the knot a year later in a ceremony in Laguna Beach, CA.
