Jess & Sophia had announced they were pregnant with their second child in February.

Prior to that, Jess had given birth to their first child, Lucien “Luz” Urista King in November 2022.

Jess King had shared that last Thursday, July 13th was her last ride before maternity leave – and now we know that Sophia gave birth around 36 hours after that class ended.

Congratulations to Jess & Sophia.
