Olympic medal-winning dressage rider Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour and her wife Rasmine are expecting their first child.
The couple announced today (13 November) that showjumper Rasmine is pregnant, sharing pictures of their ultrasound scan.
“A mini Laudrup-Dufour is cooking in Rasmine’s belly and we are all SOOOO excited,” they said.
Rasmine Laudrup, daughter of former international and Rangers footballer Brian Laudrup, married Cathrine Dufour in 2021; Rasmine proposed straight after Cathrine won at the Danish Grand Prix Championships in 2020. They run a training and sales yard together in Fredensborg, Denmark.
Since the wedding, Cathrine has won a host of medals; she and the Pidgleys’ Vamos Amigos led Denmark to team gold at the home World Championships in 2022, then took double individual silver.
