Is Madison Keys pregnant?

Madison Keys has had to address pregnancy rumors that arose after her unexpected defeat against Qinwen Zheng in the third round of the US Open. The American, who had a 5-0 lead in the third set, ended up losing 1-6, 7-6, and 7-5 in a match that left some concerning comments afterwards for many fans.

After the match, Keys acknowledged that she had been going through difficulties and that tennis had become particularly challenging for her. "I was scared, as if I couldn't hit," she explained after letting slip what seemed to be a definitive lead. She also admitted that this feeling hadn't appeared suddenly: "I have been struggling for some time; some weeks are easier than others."

The American then added that she needed to make "some kind of change." Her words sparked all kinds of speculation on social media, with some fans even linking them to a possible pregnancy.

Days later, Keys wanted to directly clarify this issue during an appearance on the podcast The Player's Box, a space she shares with Jessica Pegula, Jennifer Brady, and Desirae Krawczyk. The 2025 Australian Open champion confirmed that she is not pregnant and also made it clear that, if she were, it would be a strictly private matter.

The 31-year-old tennis player is reflecting after a complicated season. Her loss to Zheng was particularly painful because it came after completely dominating the first set and being up 5-0 in the third. Keys acknowledged in New York that she had been postponing the need to address her problems and that the time for action had come. Now, with a few days since that defeat, the American has been able to reduce the concern generated by her words and focus on her upcoming season goals.
