AFL star Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin will become a father for the first time with news he and model partner Jesinta are having a baby.
The couple announced the pregnancy on Jesinta’s app on Tuesday.
“My husband and I are so incredibly excited and overjoyed to announce that we have a baby on the way,” Franklin wrote.
“The journey to get here hasn’t been easy and this little life is the greatest gift and we feel truly blessed and grateful that we will have a little angel of our own.”
She continued: “We have both dreamt of this for a long time and whilst the last 2.5 years have been physically and emotionally challenging, there’s nothing we would change as it’s brought us to this beautiful moment. The immense love we already have for our baby is indescribable and we can’t wait to meet our little miracle.”
Buddy, 32, and Jesinta, 28, were married in a private ceremony surrounded by family and friends in the Blue Mountains in November 2016.
The footballer played his 300th AFL game at the weekend in what was the Sydney Swans final match of the season. Buddy led the Swans scoring with four goals and two behinds in Sydney’s 109 to 64 victory over St Kilda while the match also marked the retirement of Jarrad McVeigh and Kieran Jack.
