“Erin, Chewy and I are beyond excited to announce that the team will be growing by one this fall,” Sanders wrote in a post on Instagram.

The upcoming arrival will make for a busy fall at the Sanders’ household – Lionel is looking to contend for the top spot on the podium at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.

Talbot Cox posted a video on Sanders’ YouTube channel today in which the couple announced the upcoming arrival. “Lionel thinks it’s a boy,” Erin said.
