National Soccer HOF Lauren Holiday Son Hendrix Holiday Is All Grown Up Too Fast

Lauren Holiday welcomed her son Hendrix Holiday on October 2, 2020.

On October 2 of this year, Holiday, together with her husband Jrue and their daughter Jrue Tyler, celebrated their son Hendrix's second birthday. She uploaded a B&W picture of him on her Instagram on that day.

Hendrix was wearing all snowy, and many other celebrities and sports people commented on the post to wish him a happy birthday. Former American soccer player Leslie Marie Osborne could not believe that Hendrix was already two years old and completely unaware of how quickly he had developed.

"How has it been two years," Leslie wrote.

Since October 2020 occurred at the pinnacle of the Covid-19 wave, two-time Olympic gold champion Lauren had some labor intricacies when giving birth to her son Hendrix. However, the delivery went well, and he was born healthy and whole without significant complications.

Her husband and Hendrix's father, Jrue Holiday, played for New Orleans Pelicans at the time of Hendrix's birth.

The Holidays' kid, Hendrix, had just been with the family for five weeks when the trade to Milwaukee was finalized. The family had to move to Milwaukee from New Orleans.

It was to be expected that the new season in the new city would bring forth new difficulties. Lauren Holiday said that the primary method of home selection was browsing through available options online.

Former USWNT star Lauren Holiday suffered from complex health issues while she was pregnant with her daughter.

After he retired, Holiday was confronted with a new challenging health situation. In 2016, when Holiday was pregnant with her daughter Jrue Tyler, she was informed that she had a brain tumor but that it was benign.

On September 4, 2016, it was revealed that Holiday had been diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was pregnant with her baby girl. Her husband, Jrue, took some time off the game and dedicated his time to caring for her.

In late June 2016, a tumor on her brain's right side turned out harmless. Later September 2016, Holiday became a mother to Jrue Tyler Holiday, a baby girl, and the tumor was successfully removed in October of the same year after a major operation.

It was successfully removed, although it required a significant operation and a protracted rehabilitation period. "I have never quite known suffering like I experienced the last 6 months." She shared her experience on her Instagram. "I can remember countless nights repeating 'There may be a pain in the night, but joy comes in the morning."

Holiday is all good now; her daughter Jrue Tyler is six years old. The 2014 U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year winner and the mother of two, Lauren, posted a picture of her baby girl standing next to balloons on her sixth birthday.

Her daughter Jrue joined the school this year, and Lauren just could not let the first day of school pass without uploading a photo of Jrue.

Lauren Holiday close-knit family of four resettled to Milwaukee from New Orleans in November 2020.

His husband, Jrue Holiday, joined the Milwaukee Bucks from the New Orleans Pelicans just a few weeks after the birth of their second child, a boy named Hendrix. They now reside in a house with a basement in Milwaukee.

Her daughter Jrue Tyler (J.T.), has always expressed a desire to reside in a home with a basement; hence, while the family was looking for a new home, they eliminated all of the houses that did not have basements from their search.

The 35-year-old mother of two posted a picture of her family from their new home in Milwaukee on Thanksgiving day in 2020. "From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!"

The family also founded and now oversees "Jrue and Lauren Holiday Social Impact Fund," a social fund established with the purpose of helping small aid businesses of the minors unduly impaired by the Covid pandemic. 

Lauren Holiday, born on September 30, 1987, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to her parents, George and Rita Cheney, started playing soccer from an early age with her brother. Her family supported her in every career step until she turned pro. 

Holiday overcame a physical challenge and a heart problem when she was a child, and she went on to win a world championship with the U.S. national team in 2015. Moreover, Lauren earned two Olympic gold medals and accomplished a rare double by being named the U.S. Soccer Young Player Athlete of the Year and the Female Player of the Year.

Lauren was a part of the F.C. Kansas City team that won back-to-back championships in the National Women's Soccer League. The Dynamo, 5 feet 8 inches tall, earned the NWSL MVP award and the Golden Boot in 2013.

After ascending to the pinnacle of the women's soccer world in 2015 at the age of 27, she decided to call it quits at the peak of her game so that she could begin a family and devote herself to issues that were important to her.

She was greeted by her family, including her mother Rita, as they surprised Lauren while she was at the Bucks' practice facility. She was totally unaware of her name being inducted into the 2023 class of the Hall of Fame by National Soccer.
