A press release about the short film points out that for women athletes “there’s a whole set of considerations for your body that male athletes don’t have to navigate, including family planning.”
Breanna froze her eggs while she was recovering from an injury in 2018. Coming off a WNBA championship, Breanna quietly decided to expand her family via a gestational surrogate.
Marta discussed the surprise engagement in May, according toArizona Republic, including how Breanna invited her to go hiking so she could get down on one knee in nature, even if Marta wasn’t totally on board with the excursion at first.
“I was complaining because she wanted to go hiking. You know Phoenix is super hot so I was just like, ‘I don’t want to be outside.’ She planned the whole day, telling me let’s go for a walk, do something, take pictures. I was like, ‘Okay, let’s do it,’ " she recalled.
“I wasn’t expecting that to happen. In the end, it turned out to be a really good day,” added Marta.
