Compton marked the announcement with a football reference, declaring that the “curse” had been lifted. But the pregnancy announcement carried a deeper meaning for the couple.

Charo shared their excitement about welcoming a boy next spring, writing, “Our miracle + our rainbow, all in one… baby BOY Compton making his appearance next spring 🩵,” before adding, “we are so indescribably grateful and joyful for such a precious gift 🕊️ also: a party of 5?!”For Compton, the news also offered a chance to joke about the arrival of a son after two daughters. In his own Instagram post, he shared a picture with Scottie while holding several sonograms.“An A-Gap Successor is on the way,” he wrote. “The curse has been lifted 🔵🔵🔵.”The former NFL linebacker also included AI-generated images imagining his future child in a football jersey and taking selfies at the gym. The playful posts fit the football-focused humor familiar to listeners of his podcast, but Charo's announcement offered a more personal account of what the couple had experienced before reaching this point.Charo opens up about miscarriage and IVF journeyCharo revealed that she suffered a miscarriage just over a year ago, describing the pregnancy as a spontaneous and unexpected surprise. Her post came during October, which is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.“October is pregnancy + infant loss awareness month, and it was just over one year ago that I suffered a miscarriage of a spontaneously-conceived wonderful, happy surprise,” she wrote.She said the loss brought intense sadness. The couple eventually decided to undergo another IVF cycle, which resulted in the current pregnancy.“The journey is never linear and I feel profoundly for all versions of this story; especially the ones in the messy middle, without a ‘happy ending’ yet,” Charo continued. “Though it may often feel like it, you are never alone.”The announcement also drew a joking reference to ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit. One commenter suggested Compton had taken notes from Herbstreit, who discussed a supposed method for conceiving boys during an August appearance on Bussin’ with the Boys.Herbstreit said his wife, Alison, would perform a handstand after sex because she had heard male sperm were faster. The couple have four sons: twins Jake and Tye, Zak, and Chase. Co-host Taylor Lewan also said he and his wife tried the same approach, though they have three daughters.There is no scientific evidence that handstands after sex can determine a baby's sex. For the Comptons, the news of their son comes after a much more difficult journey, making the excitement behind their announcement especially personal.Stay updated with the latest Asian Games 2026 news, check the Asian Games medal tally and complete Asian Games schedule.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates.
