Watch: US Swimmer Ryan Murphy Wins Bronze, Gets 'Gender Reveal Surprise' From Wife

American swimmer Ryan Murphy got a special surprise from his pregnant wife Bridget Konttinen at the Paris 2024 Olympics after winning bronze in the men's 100m backstroke, his third Olympic medal in that event. After Murphy received his bronze medal for finishing third in the 100-meter backstroke race, his wife, who was present in the stands, did a gender reveal of their baby with a handwritten sign that read, "Ryan it's a girl!"

Murphy's bronze medal marks his seventh overall, making him one of the most decorated Olympic athletes of all time. He is a four-time Olympic gold medalist and the former world-record holder in the men's 100-meter backstroke.
