Caster Semenya has given the public a rare glimpse of her family, including her two daughters with her wife, Violet Raseboya.
The gold-medallist has previously kept the identities of her children hidden.
CASTER SEMENYA SHOWS OFF CHILDREN
On Mother’s Day, Caster Semenya posted a sweet social media post featuring her wife, Violet, and their two daughters, Oratile and Oarabile.
For the first time, the award-winning athlete revealed the faces of her daughters, Oratile and Oarabile.
“Blessed”, she captioned the post.
Caster and Violet married in 2015. They celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary in January.
INSEMINATION ROUTE
As a same-sex couple, Caster Semenya has previously revealed that she and her wife, Violet, conceived via artificial insemination.
The process is done whereby a donor’s sperm is placed directly in the uterus of the woman who carries the pregnancy, in this case, Violet. As a result, the child is genetically related to the carrier.
The medical procedure typically occurs during a woman’s ovulation period, when an egg is readily available. Once fertilisation occurs and the egg implants, the egg is considered an embryo.
