After being forced to compete with the infamous biological men, Gaines, who achieved infamous name by protecting women’s sports, revealed her pregnancy on social media.
“Surprise! We’ve been pregnant for 26 weeks!” she wrote in an Instagram post. “God is always very good.”
Gaines shared many photos of her and her husband Louis, standing aside the horse, hugging images of the fetal sonogram.
In another Father’s Day post, Gaines offered her praise to her husband. She commemorated him as the baby’s “dad” and “a new holiday to celebrate.”
Prolife messages were common not only in her congratulatory posts, but also in her recent speeches.
“I feel this baby. This young girl is kicking her stomach while she’s asleep at night,” she said. “I see a baby’s little hands, a small ultrasound foot. I listen to her heartbeat, ever since that first eight weeks of appointment.

Gaines’ announcement came shortly after the social media fuss and the controversy between her and legendary Olympic gymnast Simone Biles. Hoopra kicked off after Villes committed comments about the biological boy Gaines playing on a girl’s softball team.
Gaines has been consistently pushed back by the biological boys and men who dominate women’s sports. The gymnast took him to X, where he accused Gaines of “sickness” and compared the former swimmer to the man.
“You’re really sick, you lost the race, so it’s all about this campaign,” writes Biles. “Straight losers. We should either find ways to lift the trance community and make sports inclusive, or we should find ways to create a new pathway where trance feels safe in sports.
She continued.
Biles then went on to say, “Ironically, bully someone of your own size.” Gaines is only 5 feet 5 feet 5, which was a comment that sparked social media and left many people scratching their heads.
But beyond that, some wondered why Biles was physically embarrassed by another woman.
Villes apologized, and Gaines accepted, but Gaines doubled the defense of women’s sports.
Gaines also revealed her unborn child to the crowd by referring to Biles’ comments in her recent speech, when she creatively weaved her pregnancy announcement into the mix.
“I think the funniest thing about this for me and (Biles) is saying, “Ironically, bully someone who’s your own size.” Gaines said, grabbing her stomach and holding an image of the sonogram.
Pray for Gaine and her family as they prepare to welcome their children later this year.
