Is Whitney Lauenstein Pregnant Again?

Whitney Lauenstein has once again become the center of attention, not for pregnancy rumors, but for her transfer from Nebraska.

The speculations of her being pregnant first arose when Whitney stepped away from the Nebraska volleyball team in January 2023.

She decided to part ways with the Huskers via Instagram, citing a need to focus on herself and be with her family.

This decision came as she continued to cope with the loss of her father, Ryan Lauenstein, in 2021.

Despite Whitney’s public explanation, rumors persisted, suggesting a pregnancy as the underlying reason for her departure from the team.

Many fans took offense at the pregnancy speculations and the intrusion into her personal life. 

However, as time unfolded, it became evident that the rumors were indeed true, marking a new chapter in Whitney’s life.
