Much-loved sports presenter Emma Freedman is pregnant with bub number two.

The radio and TV star announced the news live on Fox League’s Sunday Nights with Matty Johns show, revealing she has been able to keep the pregnancy secret due to forced downtime because of coronavirus.

She and partner Charlie Rundle are already parents to one-year-old son, William.

“We’re absolutely delighted and feel very lucky,” Freedman told Confidential. “It will be a busy back end of the year but we are excited for all of the chaos that comes with two small friends. Will has already shown quite the love of small babies so hopefully he is like that when he gets to meet his little sibling.”

Baby number two is due to be born on rugby league grand final weekend.

For Mother’s Day last month Freedman explained that motherhood had been an enlightening experience and hinted another child was on the cards sooner rather than later.

“We don’t want them too far apart so we will be thinking of that in the next little while,” the daughter of champion horse trainer Lee Freedman said last month.

Of motherhood more generally, she added: “Not every day is going to be perfect. You will have amazing days and pretty average days as well but it all balances out in the end and when you see them happy and thriving, it does make it all worthwhile.”
