“MACEY 29.03.23 – we are so in love with every 4.6kgs of you little girl,” the couple wrote on Instagram.

“And a big happy 30th birthday Daddy @jezzacameron we hope this one was everything you wished for.”

Cameron commented on the post: “My perfect girls”.

Premiership forward Cameron was the Cats’ best player last week as the club searches for its first win this season.

The former Giants star said he had been prepared to leave the Round 1 blockbuster against Collingwood midway through the game if he got word Putra was in labour. She was due around that time.

The couple was inundated with well wishes including from fellow new parents Brit and Joel Selwood, Emma Hawkins, Patrick and Mardi Dangerfield, Rebecca Maddern, Demi Duncan, Madi Rohan and Kirsten Stanley.

“We love our newest member of the girl gang,’’ Hawkins wrote.
