Jessica Ennis-Hill will miss Glasgow 2014 because she is pregnant Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill will miss Glasgow 2014 because she is pregnant. The 27-year-old announced on Friday she has had to put her career on hold as she is expecting her first child. In a statement released by her management, she said: "I have some very unexpected but exciting news to share - Andy and I are expecting a baby. We are completely overwhelmed, with excitement and a degree of anxiety that I am sure all first-time parents will relate to. My plans for 2014 have been completely turned upside down, but having had a couple of weeks to think about things from a career point of view I am 100 per cent set on returning to full-time athletics once our baby is born and go for a second gold medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016 - that challenge really excites me. But in the short term I will make our baby a priority and enjoy the whole experience as much as possible. I am sorry I won't be in Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games, but know it will be an amazing occasion. I will be at home awaiting the arrival of a little Ennis-Hill. Ennis-Hill, from Sheffield, married her long-time partner Andy Hill in Derbyshire last May. She won gold at the London Olympics in 2012 and she said she still hopes to defend her heptathlon title at Rio in 2016. The organisers of Glasgow 2014 congratulated Ennis-Hill on her pregnancy after the announcement, tweeting: "Congratulations to #Glasgow2014 ambassador Jessia Ennis & husband Andy on the exciting news that they're expecting their first child."
