FOOTBALL superstar Patrick Dangerfield has announced the arrival of his first child, confirming widespread social media speculation.
The Brownlow winner formally announced the arrival of seven-pound son, George, on his new fishing podcast, Reel Adventures.
The unusual announcement confirms social media speculation over the past 24 hours that Dangerfield and his and wife Mardi were celebrating their happy news.
George Patrick was born on Tuesday night.
Wife Mardi is “very, very healthy”, a delighted Dangerfield says on the podcast.
A visitor post to the Geelong Cats Facebook page on Wednesday indicated the Dangerfields had their baby overnight.
In her post, the woman asked the club if anyone knew what the sex was.
While the 2016 Brownlow medallist had previously said he wouldn’t leave a game if his wife went into labour, he was notably absent from Cats training on the Gold Coast this week.
On Sunday, Mardi posted a photo to Instagram of their car packed and ready to go with a brand new infant carrier and overnight bags.
`“May still have a couple of jobs to do before I’m actually ready ... wouldn’t want to be too prepared but I’d say that’s a capsule in a car,” she posted at the weekend.
The Moggs Creek couple, who share an entertaining social media presence, recently joked about naming their first baby after Dangerfield’s favourite movie in a video for Unscriptd.
“I love Indiana Jones and I want it to be called Indiana, and, my father’s name is John, so imagine if you had a baby’s name that was Indiana John Dangerfield,” he said in the clip.
“It won’t be that,” Mardi retorted.
