North Queensland Cowboys family to welcome baby number two following Valentine Homes’ new contract announcement

A new bundle of joy will join the Holmes family with the news coming just 24 hours after it was officially reported the rugby league star had signed with the Dragons. See the adorable announcement and gender reveal >>

Only a day after it was officially reported that Cowboys star Valentine Holmes had signed to the St Illawarra Dragons, it has been announced via social media that the family of three would become four.

Taking to social media on Thursday afternoon, Holme’s wife Natalia posted a photo of her bump with the caption:

“After almost 3 years of being ruled by one small sir, we have decided the only thing that could be better, is to be ruled by 2 small sirs,” the post read.

“We can’t wait to welcome another little man into our world. See you March 1 our little baby.”

The series of images posted to Instagram by the fitness trainer and business owner included a positive pregnancy test, an email from a doctor revealing the bub’s gender as well as a poem titled ‘Little Baby Bump...’ that read, ‘Let me tell you something about your dad, let me whisper a secret, there is nothing, he won’t do for you, he thinks about you all the time, he works so hard for you, for his family, he wants you to have, the very best life.’

The post comes a day after it was officially reported that the fullback would join the Dragons in the 2025 season on three-year, $2.5 million deal.

Val and Natalia welcomed their first baby boy Billy back in 2021, and the fitness powerhouse continues to run a successful gym with sister Brianna Morgan in multiple locations across the city.
