The baby announcement caps off an incredible year for Rozee, 23, who enjoyed a sterling season on the field, earning his second All-Australian jacket and finishing second in Port Adelaide’s best and fairest award, the John Cahill Medal.

Earlier this month, Rozee was named Port Adelaide’s new captain and re-signed with the club for a mammoth eight seasons.

Off the field, Rozee and Ms Packer, his partner of over three years, became engaged in October, also sharing the news in a joint Instagram post captioned: “Forever with you”.

The post was accompanied with a series of heartfelt photos of the couple together, plus an engagement cake and a close-up of the ring, a classic round cut diamond in a four-claw setting from Class A Jewellers.

Maisie is one of the daughters of Seb Packer, managing director of Packers South Australia, a manufacturer of aluminium windows and doors, as well as the founder of TreeClimb.

She graduated this year from the University of Adelaide with a degree in psychological science.
