Although it appears that Tia-Clair Toomey just announced her pregnancy yesterday, many months have passed since that announcement. Toomey grew increasingly excited with each passing month leading up to this moment, and now she has finally reached what many consider to be the best day of their lives. On May 9th, 2023 Tia-Clair Toomey gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and became a mother.
Tia-Clair Toomey shared the exciting news on her Instagram on May 12th alongside a picture of her newborn. She revealed that the baby girl’s name is Willow Clair Orr and pointed out how much of her father’s facial features she already has. In addition, Tia-Clair pointed out just how emotional she got while holding her daughter for the first time.
“On Tuesday, the 9th of May, our lives were forever changed as we welcomed our precious baby girl, Willow Clair Orr.
From the moment we held her in our arms, we were overwhelmed with emotions. The joy and awe we felt are indescribable. Yes, there were moments of pain during the labor stage, but as the saying goes, nothing great comes without pain.”

Tia-Clair Toomey’s Future In CrossFit
Shortly before announcing her pregnancy, Tia-Clair Toomey made it clear that she wants to get her seventh CrossFit Games title. So, that had to be put on pause, but many hope that Tia-Clair will continue chasing this goal next season.
While she did not confirm anything yet, judging by the caption of her Instagram post, Tia-Clair Toomey seems even more inspired after giving birth to her daughter.
“This remarkable experience has brought about a newfound clarity and an extra drive within me.
Her arrival has filled my heart with an overwhelming love and renewed purpose, igniting a fire within me to pursue my goals with even greater determination.”
It’s clear that Tia-Clair Toomey is now entering a new chapter in her life as a parent. She’ll need some time to adjust and focus on her new role, so it may be a while before she can make plans for her athletic future. Parenthood can be a demanding and rewarding journey, and we wish her all the best in this new adventure.
Tia-Clair Toomey At a Glance
When Tia-Clair Toomey has her baby girl by her side, she may become even more driven, and her performances will undoubtedly be a magnificent sight to behold. She has already won six Individual CrossFit Games titles and was thus crowned the Fittest Woman On Earth. No one has ever managed to achieve this before her in either women’s or men’s divisions, as Mat Fraser was the closest with 5x Individual CrossFit Games titles.
Tia-Clair Toomey’s performances in the Rogue Invitational serve as further evidence that she is one of the greatest female athletes to ever compete in CrossFit. This is a new competition, established in 2019, but it is already one of the biggest in the sport. So, Tia-Clair has managed to win the 2019, 2020, and 2021 editions of the competition. However, she did not appear in 2022 and her title was claimed by Laura Horvath.
In addition, Tia-Clair appeared in the Rio Olympics back in 2016 in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting. So, it is obvious that there is nothing she can’t do and that she will also succeed in being a great mother.

Now that Tia-Clair Toomey won’t be competing this season, we will have a new women’s CrossFit Games champion for the first time since 2016. The athletes know this and are giving their all to seize the opportunity. The best one so far seems to be Mal O’Brien who won the 2023 CrossFit Open and Quarterfinals. Tia-Clair is not the only woman to withdraw from the 2023 season due to pregnancy, as Kara Saunders is also expecting a baby.
The Fitness Volt team congratulates Tia-Clair Toomey on becoming a mother and wishes her the best as she embarks on a new chapter in her life.
