Bode and Morgan Miller announce they are expecting twins

The couple is expecting identical twin boys in the fall as they continue to heal following their daughter's drowning death.

The former Olympic skier, 41, and the professional beach volleyball player, 32, made the happy announcement on TODAY Monday that they are expecting identical twin boys in the fall to add to their growing family.

Morgan and Bode Miller are expecting twins about a year after Morgan gave birth to their baby son

"Bode from the beginning of our relationship has always said, 'I want identical twin boys born on my birthday,''' Morgan told Savannah Guthrie. "This time when I found out I was pregnant I said, 'Do you think it's twins this time?' He said, 'No.' So I went to the ultrasound by myself, and sure enough, identical twin boys."

"Somehow I always knew that I was going to have identical twin boys,'' Bode said.

The couple has a 10-month-old son, Easton, who has helped them heal in the wake of the drowning death of their 1-year-old daughter, Emmy, in 2018.

He is amazing and he reminds us so much of Emmy,'' Morgan said. "He's got this amazing personality and he'so happy, and he's just such a perfect addition to our family. It's like he was waiting for us to bring him into this world."

Easton was born last October, four months after Emmy drowned in a neighbor's pool.

"We carry Emmy with us every day,'' Morgan said. "That part doesn't ever get easier, but we just imagine what it would be like to have her there, and we share our tears and we share our memories and we revisit stories. Keeping her a part of our family has really made this journey a little bit easier for our family."

The couple also have an older son, Nash, 4, and Bode has a daughter, Neesyn, 11, and son, Sam, 6, from previous relationships

Their three older children helped console them in the dark times following their daughter's death.

"The kids kind of pull us forward because they demand interaction, and they have a great way of healing,'' Bode said.

Since the accident, the couple has been raising awareness and funding for charities that promote water safety education. Drowning is the number one cause of injury-related death in children ages 1 to 4.

"Being able to sort of provide awareness, which we've tried to do, and now solutions, and that's I think ultimately what will change the statistics of it,'' Bode said.

They had a bittersweet moment in April when Easton had his first infant swim lesson. He has since had two more this summer.
