100 breast Olympic bronze medalist Cody Miller and wife Ali welcomed their first child to the world on Monday night as Axel Zeke Miller was born at 8:25 Eastern Standard Time on Monday night. His birth comes about 24 hours after father Cody was competing at the US Open in Indianapolis where he finished second overall in both the 100 (59.65) and 200 breaststroke (2:10.22).
Miller elected not to compete in the International Swimming League this fall over in Budapest in order to be there to witness the birth of his son. The couple announced their pregnancy in June this year on Father’s Day. Ali found out she was pregnant in late February, just before the COVID-19 virus caused everyone to be quarantined in their homes. Cody and Ali have been married for over three years.
Cody Miller is the reigning Olympic bronze medalist in the 100 breaststroke and also swam on the gold medal winning medley relay. He has a chance to pursue a second trip to the Olympic Games now as a father.
