Is it time for Wayne Carey to become a Legend?

WAYNE Carey is expecting a baby boy with his new girlfriend Jessica Paulke.

The Duck confirmed the pitter-patter of duckling feet, saying the couple are “very excited” about the pending arrival.

Carey, 47, and Paulke fly to Port Douglas tomorrow for some much needed downtime after the Channel 7 AFL commentator has been hard at it, with finals footy commitments.

HAS WAYNE CAREY FOUND NEW LOVE?

Carey has a 12-year-old daughter, Ella, with his first wife Sally McMahon and three-year-old Charlotte Milla with former fiancee Stephanie Edwards.

Paulke also has a child from a former relationship.

Carey split with McMahon soon after Ella was born when it was revealed the notorious ladies’ man had an affair with model Kate Neilson.

The former footy bad boy has had a lifestyle change since working with Channel 7.

Friends say fatherhood has tamed the former lothario and he is often seen pushing the stroller at the network and is well liked by top execs at the station.

Who says you can’t turn over a new leaf? The AFL legend and Paulke first stepped out at the Australian Open this year and have been at pains to keep their relationship reasonably private ... well compared with the former North Melbourne champion’s much-publicised past.

The leggy model formerly dated Carey’s mate Simon Potts and former Geelong player turned Richmond forward Josh Caddy.

But nothing footy stays quiet in Melbourne town in finals fever. The baby whispers have been growing louder and Carey, well versed in dodging media inquiries, had been keeping mum.

It’s understood Carey has moved out of his South Yarra bachelor pad and into a family home with Paulke in Albert Park.
