Happy marriage? Tick. Olympic medals? Tick. Fame? Tick. Golden couple status? Tick. Baby planning? Still a question mark! This is the journey of the golden couple, Hunter Woodhall and Tara Davis-Woodhall, who’ve made us all say, ‘We wish we were like them.’ The Woodhalls became the first husband-and-wife duo to win gold at both the Olympics and Paralympics in the same Summer Games. Since tying the knot on October 16, 2022, over two years have passed, and while they’ve accomplished so much, the big question remains: Are they ready to start a family?

On January 7th, the golden couple, Hunter and Tara Woodhall, shared a new video on their personal YouTube channel. The video, filmed at the Kansas State University Wildcats’ training facility, showed the couple training together. Well, we know Tara recently moved to Manhattan, Kansas as she was also appointed as the assistant track and field coach there. In the video, she opened up about her future goals and plans!

Hunter and Tara Davis-Woodhall spill the truth about kids

In a moment of candid conversation, Tara Davis-Woodhall laughed while hurdling and said, “It’s challenging when the pressure’s on,” as Hunter teased her about her Olympic gold medal. Then, with a laugh, she dropped a bombshell about their baby plans: “I am not ready for kids. Not yet. A random… yeah, so everybody shut up. Shut up! There’s no kids happening anytime soon, at least not on my watch. Four or five years.” Looks like the Woodhalls are focusing on their careers and their journey together before adding to the family.

Earlier on their Beyond the Records podcast, the couple was asked the same question about having kids, and Tara opened up about how her thoughts on it have changed over the years. “If we had a baby, we’d celebrate it. We’d be super happy, but we’re not actively trying for one,” she said. Hunter then joked, “But it’d be dope” if they did, pointing out that a pregnancy could mess with Tara’s chances to qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Tara admitted, “It’s like, ‘OK, would I be that person to come back to track? And would I want to come back?’ Of course, I would, especially if it happened in these years because I want to do the ’28 Olympics.”

After all, this couple has already defied the odds by making a huge impact in the Paris Olympics. Remember that viral moment? They were almost a step away from missing it! But one key condition, set by NBC, made it all possible.

Struggling for tickets almost ruined their viral moment

One hug changed everything for Hunter and Tara Davis-Woodhall. In the Paris Olympics, after Tara clinched her first Olympic gold in the women’s long jump, she looked no right or left but leaped straight into Hunter’s arms in celebration. Sitting in the front row, Hunter was totally overwhelmed with emotion. That heartfelt hug quickly went viral which is still remembered! But what fans may not know is that this unforgettable hug almost didn’t happen due to one major obstacle- no tickets!

As Hunter shared on the Beyond the Records podcast that unforgettable moment almost didn’t happen. He admitted, “we were struggling to get tickets, just like everyone else,” Hunter explained about watching her wife’s long jump event victory. “ I was even on camera with a mic is cause NBC said, ‘If you let us mic you up, we’ll give you tickets right up front,’ and I was like, ‘Deal.” From that point, their fame exploded, and just a month later, Hunter competed in the Paralympics, claiming a gold medal and a bronze. Now, with both of them at the height of their careers, fans are wondering: Could they create another legendary moment at the LA 2028 Olympics?
