The image shared by Ana Peleteiro shows the Olympic champion holding an ultrasound and revealing the beginning of her pregnancy, while her daughter Lúa holds the photo of the future baby. This gesture marks a moment of hope for the family, as El País reports, as it comes just five months after the athlete and her husband, fellow athlete Benjamin Compaoré, made public the loss of a pregnancy in mid-2025.
According to El País, the Galician athlete chose her social networks to spread the news of this new pregnancy. In his release, Peleteiro describes his next child as “the greatest, most beautiful and special gift to say goodbye to in 2025,” alluding to the way the arrival of a new family member is linked to the grief of the previous loss. In her message, she emphasizes how much this process meant to her by speaking openly about the experience of losing a child and referring to the “little angel in heaven” who, in her words, gives them this new opportunity.
Last year, Peleteiro openly described the physical and emotional pain she felt after the miscarriage and publicly addressed the impact it had on her and her partner’s lives. El País recalled that the athlete approached the situation sincerely from the first moment, mentioning that this prodigal son would be part of her family like “another little angel in heaven.” Now the news of the new pregnancy comes to her like a “Christmas miracle” that gives the end of the year an emotional turn.
The news also implies a reorganization of priorities for the European triple jump champion. According to El País, Peleteiro has combined intense competition with motherhood and new personal projects in recent months. Together with Compaoré he opened a cafeteria in Ribeira and both are building their new home in the same city, completing a phase marked by changes both in sport and in the family.
Peleteiro’s return to the highest international level after the birth of her first daughter demonstrated her ability to balance motherhood with the sporting elite. Now, as described in the publication cited by El País, the athlete faces the new pregnancy with the experiences she has gained at the two extremes of motherhood: celebration and loss. In his words, he defines this end of the year with terms such as “abundance, love and happiness,” emphasizing the emotional impact of this new beginning.
El País pointed out that although Peleteiro did not reveal the exact period of pregnancy nor the expected date of birth, he expressed that this pregnancy was deeply symbolic and unexpected for the family. In her public story, the athlete mixes gratitude and hope and dedicates her special thanks to the son she lost in the summer and to whom she attributes the arrival of this new life.
The announcement has received expressions of support and affection on social media, reflecting the support of her followers in the process of grief and emotional recovery over the past few months. For Peleteiro and Compaoré, this pregnancy represents not only a change on a personal level, but also a symbol of overcoming and restarting after the difficulties of 2025.
