Gio, 23, scored a goal during his squad’s qualifying matchup against Paraguay on Friday, June 12, subsequently putting the soccer ball underneath his shirt<\/a> – mimicking a pregnancy – and pretending to suck his thumb.<\/p>\n

“Thank you LA! Love this team! Just the start! \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8<\/span>,” he wrote via Instagram<\/span><\/a> later that night, reflecting on the team’s 4-1 victory. “Celebration was for the little one on the way \ud83d\udc76\ud83c\udffb\ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffc<\/span>.”<\/p>\n

Claire, 24, reposted Gio’s announcement<\/a> to her Instagram Stories with a baby and a heart emoji.<\/p>\n

Gio further discussed Claire’s pregnancy during a postgame interview.<\/p>\n

“My wife’s pregnant,” he told reporters, per The Athletic<\/i><\/span><\/a>. <\/i>“I’ve known for a couple months now, so I was waiting for the perfect time [to announce her pregnancy]. This sort of felt like it.”<\/p>\n

Gio scored a trivela goal in the final seconds of the game, solidifying Team USA’s victory to secure their spot in the next World Cup round.<\/p>\n

“Honestly, when I’m playing, I’m not really thinking,” the pro athlete said in the press conference. “I’m just doing whatever felt natural. I was in a good area, and I got a good pass, and I just saw the angle, far post.<\/p>\n

While fans might have been surprised by Gio’s impressive goal, his teammates always knew the midfielder had what it takes.<\/p>\n

“We see stuff from him like that every day,” Christian Pulisic <\/b><\/a>said in a separate postgame interview. “It’s not like a crazy surprise, and he deserves it. It’s great to see him pull it off in a moment like this.”<\/p>\n

Chloe, who also attended Friday’s game, married Gio in July 2025 after nearly four years together.<\/p>\n

“I mean, [I’m] married now, I have a dog, so I guess you could call it a little family,” Gio gushed of newlywed life during a November 2025 interview<\/span><\/a>. “It’s more responsibility. It’s just growing up now, take on the chain and mature, which I feel like I have and will continue to do.”<\/p>\n

While Gio’s family remains top of mind, so is his unofficial brood with the U.S. men’s soccer team.<\/p>\n

“It [is] really special to sort of, you know, take soccer in America to the next level, and I think, you know, make kids dream like we did when we were little, too, and make kids fall in love with the sport,” he said at the time. “It’s not easy. [There are] a lot of really good teams around the world competing for this trophy. I’m not saying we’re going to win it, but you know, our goal should definitely be to go as far as possible and make a run and make our country proud.”<\/p>\n
