Ross Family Christmas
Soon after welcoming their bundle of joy in August, the former Olympian told ESSENCE, “There’s nothing greater than being at a point in your life where you’re just ready to become a parent,” says Richards-Ross. “I think for my husband and I, it’s like we accomplished everything we wanted to and God blessed us with this amazing gift. Deucey was definitely created in love. The greatest wish I have for my son is that he knows the love of the Lord, and that he fulfills his potential in Christ. That’s the most important thing. As long as he knows God loves him, and he has a good relationship with God, and he is able to fulfill his full potential, and we give him everything that he needs to be able to do that, I’ll be a really happy mom.”
