‘We Took a Pregnancy Test’: Tara Davis-Woodhall & Husband Hunter Talk About Life’s Biggest Chapter Ahead of Track & Field Season Debut

Back in January, Tara Davis-Woodhall and her husband, Hunter Woodhall, got candid about the idea of starting a family. “If we had a baby, we’d celebrate it. We’d be super happy, but we’re not actively trying for one,” Tara said at the time. Hunter, ever the jokester, chimed in with a grin: “But it’d be dope.” Still, they were clear — with the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics on the horizon, baby plans weren’t exactly on the fast track. But fast forward to April, and the game shifted — just a little.

In a lighthearted Instagram clip shared on April 24, the couple revealed a mini scare that had them holding their breath. “I, we didn’t,” Hunter said with a dramatic pause and his signature humor, teasing the suspense before the reveal. So what happened?

Tara explained it all started with a late period — five days late, to be exact. “I was my app says four days. I was definitely five days late,” she shared. Naturally, that set off some internal alarms, even for a couple who said they weren’t in a rush. And so, a pregnancy test happened, as Hunter said, “We took a pregnancy test yesterday.” Then came the big reveal — Tara Davis-Woodhall held up the test for the camera, and what was the result? “Not pregnant.”

Cue the relief. Hunter clapped like his team had just won a medal, while Tara let out a deep breath and laughed. “That was a bit of a—that was a bit of a sweat,” Hunter admitted. “Just a tiny one,” Tara smiled. “I knew I was good.” So, what caused the delay? Tara, with a cheeky grin, summed it up in two words: “Just stressed.” Relatable, right? For now, it looks like Team Woodhall is still laser-focused on Olympic dreams, with a dash of humor and love keeping them steady on the track. 

For now, it’s crystal clear that Team Woodhall has their eyes set on something else entirely — and it’s not a crib or diaper duty. It’s medals, tracks, and Olympic dreams. That focus got a little extra confirmation when Hunter dropped into the comment section with some clarity for the curious fans: “To clarify we do want to have a family. Just dont think we currently have the time and focus to give our kids what they deserve. One day tho ❤️.”  Tara doubled down with a full-on truth bomb that had fans laughing: “YALL! I CANT AND DO NOT WANT A BABY RIGHT NOW! PUHHLEASEEEEE 😂.” So, if you peek at Tara’s 2025 calendar, it’s pretty obvious what she and Hunter are up to this year — and spoiler alert, it’s not nursery shopping. Think high-speed sprints, championship meets, maybe some world-leading jumps, and a full schedule that screams track season, not toddler time. Need words to confirm that aim? 

Last year, in a conversation with People, the Olympic champion said, “There’s nothing really hanging over my head anymore of like, ‘I need to be this, I need to have this.’ 2025 should just be a year of growing and rebuilding what we did this year.” And what did the couple do in 2024? Saving moments on and off the track. They achieved titles and celebrated tirelessly. Meanwhile, they kept their bond unharmed despite facing geographical distance between them. Are we going to see those once again this year? Well, Tara has already hinted at something. 

Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter are ready to start on the track 

Mark your calendars — April 26 is shaping up to be a milestone day for Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall. The summer track and field schedule has officially dropped, and one date stands out like a spotlight: the Drake Relays in Des Moines. But why’s it such a big deal?

Because for the first time in their journey together, Tara and Hunter will be competing side by side at the same elite meet, both under the bright lights of a world-class stage. Tara will be soaring into the women’s long jump event, while Hunter will blaze through the men’s 400m, part of the prestigious World Athletics Continental Tour (WACT). It’s a moment that means everything to the power couple. And the emotions are there in their voices. 

“It’s a dream come true for us to be competing on the same stage as such an elite level at the same track meet,”  Tara shared, her voice filled with emotion. “We’ve been dreaming for this moment since we started dating and training together, so it’s pretty surreal.” And for Hunter, this meet marks more than just a race — it’s a monumental shift. “All of those meets were able-bodied meets that I was running competitively enough that I was able to get into those meets or in the NCAA,” he explained. “The difference now is that we’re integrating Paralympic and Olympic competition together in the same meet, so that’s a first, for sure, for us.” So, it’s not just about two athletes competing. It’s about breaking boundaries, rewriting the narrative, and living out a shared vision they’ve held onto for years.
