WNBA icons Courtney Vandersloot and Allie Quigley have welcomed their first child together, a daughter born April 8 named Jana Christine Vandersloot Quigley.
“We are over the moon to welcome our baby girl to the world,” the couple told People. “We have been dreaming of this moment for a long time, and it’s better than we could have ever imagined!”

The 21-year study tracked children who were conceived using anonymous donors, known donors, as well as open-identity donors.
Vandersloot and Quigley played together for the Chicago Sky (Vandersloot is still on the team while Quigley has sat out for the past two seasons). In 2021, they became the first married couple to win a professional sports championship together. The pair married in 2018 after keeping the relationship under wraps for over five years.
On Mother’s Day, the couple posted an adorable photo of their daughter wearing a blue bow and asleep on a basketball. “Everyone, meet Jana Christine,” they wrote, “our whole world.”
On social media, the Chicago Sky congratulated the family, writing, “The 2048 draft class just got bigger.”
