Amanda Beard Gets Married and is Five Months Pregnant

Amanda Beard and her photographer boyfriend of three years, Sasha Brown got married May 1st, on Wakatobi, an archipelago in the Banda Sea off southeastern Indonesia. Beard, 27, and Brown, 34, had a very private and brief sunset ceremony on a secluded beach at their resort. Presiding over the nuptials was a local elder, and the only witnesses were villagers from the area — none of whom spoke English.

Beard, who met Brown on a photo shoot and got engaged on Christmas Day, is expecting a boy in September. She competed in four straight Olympic Games, starting when she was 14 in 1996 through last summer’s Olympics in Beijing and won seven Olympic medals.
