WNBA star Candace Parker has a daughter
Candace Parker who is the current WNBA reigning MVP and rookie of the year and her husband Shelden Williams of the Minnesota Timberwolves have welcomed their first child into this world, a little girl. The newborn was born in Los Angeles, weighed 7 pounds, 6 ounces and was 20 inches long. Basketball is sure to be in her future.
The couple it seems tried to plan the pregnancy so that Candace would give birth and be able to get back on the court as soon as possible at the beginning of the season. The next WNBA season starts on June 6th and Candace is determined to get back out there and plans to as soon as the doctor give her the okay.
Candace Parker and Shelden Williams are excited now that their daughter has come. In a statement released by the new mom she states, “Shelden and I are thrilled. This is such a life-changing moment for us, we feel blessed to have a healthy and beautiful baby girl.”
Congrats to the couple! Now what is her name?
