Cycling golden couple Jason and Laura Kenny are expecting their first child, their agent has confirmed.
The Olympic duo sparked fevered speculation that they're expecting the the pitter patter of tiny fee t with an adorable Instagram post on Valentine's Day.
Four-time Olympic gold medalist Laura (nee Trott) shared a picture of three bicycles - two adult and a child's - with a simple heart in the caption.
The 24-year-old was flooded with messages of congratulations despite no obvious confirmation.
"Great news and a very clever way of announcing it," commented mike4wales, presuming the pair are pregnant.
"Aw congratulations both - that is going to be one speedy baby!" posted another fan.

Hubby Jason , 28, made a light-hearted nod to the news in a message to his wife on Twitter.

Luke Lloyd-Davies, the couple's agent, later said: "I can confirm that Laura Kenny is indeed pregnant and that she, Jason and their respective families are absolutely thrilled and delighted with the news.
"They very much appreciate all the kind wishes and messages of support that they have received already."
The couple, who married in September in a private ceremony, went public with the news following their 12-week scan.
Laura has previously spoken of wanting to start a family with Jason, but that they said the plan was to wait until after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
"We would love to have kids obviously but when that will happen I don't know," revealed Laura on Good Morning Britain.
"I think it would be very hard to juggle a cycling career with children to be honest."
Laura is a four-time Olympic champion for Team GB, while Jason has six Olympic track sprint gold medals to his name.
