Olympian figure skaters Chris and Alexa Knierim have welcomed their first baby, Braxton Jeffery Knierim. The couple, who have been skating partners since 2012 and married in 2016, shared the exciting news on Instagram. They revealed they used in vitro fertilisation (IVF) to conceive, adding to the growing number of people who turn to fertility treatments to start or expand their family. The Knierims are the first married pair to compete at the Olympics since 1998, and their story could inspire other couples who are struggling to conceive and considering IVF treatment.
