“I always saw myself as being a girl mum – I grew up with a sister and all female cousins, so I can’t imagine life any other way.”

Freebairn and PointsBet co-founder Fahey have been together for over five years. She admitted that it’s been a tiring few months, combining work, pregnancy and motherhood.

“I’m past halfway now – I have to admit it’s been a lot more exhausting being pregnant, while having another little person to chase around,” she said.

“But it’s been fun to share it all with Airlie. She’s very excited to be a big sister. We haven’t decided on a name yet, but Airlie’s set on ‘Baby Unicorn’.”
