Lisa Curry revealed her excitement at becoming a ‘grannie again’ after daughter Morgan Gruell announced she’s expecting her third child with husband Ryan Gruell.
The former competitive swimmer, 59, re-posted Morgan’s photo of her growing baby bump to her Instagram on Monday, and congratulated her ‘baby girl’ on the news.
Morgan’s pregnancy announcement comes after she commemorated one year since the death of her sister Jaimi Kenny (Lisa Curry and Grant Kenny’s daughter), who passed away at age 33.
