Carlton star Marc Murphy and his wife, Jessie, have announced the birth of their baby girl.

The AFL glamour couple welcomed Imogen back on June 22.

“22.06.21 we welcomed our beautiful girl to the world, Imogen Murphy,’’ Jessie wrote on a picture of their adorable new addition.

The couple is already parents to three year-old son Max.

Marc, 34, is due to play his 300th game against Port Adelaide next round.

In February, when they announced they were expecting, Jessie posted a black and white family portrait taken by photographer Liane Hurvitz.

“We can’t wait to meet you, baby girl,’’ she wrote.

The Murphys received congratulations from the likes of Bec Judd, Nadia Bartel, Emma Hawkins, Lauren Phillips, Megan Gale, Rebecca Harding, Jerri Jones, Lana Wilkinson and Olivia Rogers.

Beauty and fashion blogger Jessie told the Herald Sun last year they wanted to expand their family.

“We are looking forward to having a sibling for Max,’’ she said.

Marc also posted: “Can’t wait to meet our little girl”.

Jessie and Marc were the Australian Grand Prix ambassadors last year.

The former Blues captain said having children put life into perspective. He started his 16th AFL season this year.

“Certainly having Max, I don’t think about football as much,’’ the doting dad told the Herald Sun.

“You think about the game and (then) he forces you to think about other things. If you don’t give him the proper attention, he’ll throw a football in your face.”

Jessie has often posted videos and pictures of Max with a footy.

“Obsessed at the age of two,” she wrote on one picture last year.

The Murphys married in 2016.
