Speculation about Kirby Smart and his wife Mary’s pregnancy started with a social media post on November 25, 2024.
The Bulldog Den’s Facebook post stated that Kirby Smart and his wife Mary are pregnant with twins, just four weeks along.
Furthermore, many of the former NFL player’s fans sent their blessings to Kirby Smart and his pregnant wife, while some believed it to be fake news.
One user in the comment section wrote, “Four weeks along, most people don’t even know they are pregnant yet, and they know it’s twins in her late 40s. I smell a fake headline.“
Another added, “You can’t actually tell if you are having twins at 4 weeks, and you don’t even have pregnancy medically confirmed until a 6-week ultrasound, typically by congrats if this is legit.“
Despite speculation, Kirby Smart hasn’t shared any information about the pregnancy, and it is unsure if his wife is pregnant with twins or if it is just a rumor.
However, the couple are amazing parents to their three children, including twins Weston and Julia Smart and a boy named Andrew Smart.
All of Kirby and Mary’s children are following in their father’s footsteps in sports. Weston Smart is pursuing his career in tennis and gold, while Julia Smart is an exceptional swimmer and a soccer player.
Moreover, their youngest son, Andrew, has loved playing football, just like his father, Kirby, from a very young age.
