Elli Johnston, daughter of Carlton legend Wayne ‘Dominator’ Johnston, is expecting a child with her new partner.
Johnston, former wife of disgraced NRL star Brett Finch, announced her pregnancy on social media with Liam Hillen at Snapper Rocks.
“We are so so so excited to meet you,’’ Johnston captioned images showing her growing baby bump.
Johnston, also previously linked to Richmond great Dustin Martin, went public with her amateur boxer partner in August last year.
The couple received congratulations from the likes of Kate Waterhouse, Koby Abberton, Brent Staker, Jessie Roberts and Sarita Holland.
Johnston shares a daughter with Finch who she split with in 2023 after five years of marriage.
They got married in Albert Park with Johnston now living up north with Hillen, who also has children from a previous relationship.
Finch was arrested in December 2021 and charged with using a carriage service to publish or promote child abuse after officers intercepted his conversations in a web chat room.
In 2022 he was sentenced to a $100 two-year good behaviour bond in Sydney’s Downing District Court. When the online offending occurred the 270 NRL game veteran was consuming as much 25 grams of cocaine per week.
Initially Johnston stood by Finch, who is believed to be rebuilding his life with a day job. He returned to court in January last year for failing to comply with his reporting obligations in relation to the good behaviour bond.
