12 Times Olympian Sanya Richards-Ross And Her Son Won Gold In Our Hearts

By Lauren Porter · Updated October 24, 2020

In February 2017, track star Sanya Richards-Ross and her two-time Super Bowl-winning hubby Aaron Ross announced they were expecting their first child together. 

Their son, Aaron Jermaine Ross II — affectionately known as “Deucey” — was born in August and ever since he has been the light of their lives. 

Ahead, check out some of our favorite moments between mom, dad and their pride and joy.
