Sonny Bill Williams’ wife Alana Raffie sports fuller figure leaving little doubt the couple are expecting a baby

SONNY BILL Williams has made no secret of his desire for kids, but exclusive pictures of his new wife Alana Raffie leave little doubt the couple are expecting.

IS Sonny Bill Williams set to become a dad?

Speculation has been rife that Williams’ 20-year-old wife Alana Raffie is pregnant with their first child after he referred to her as “mumsy” in an Instagram post.

And now new pictures showing Raffie sporting a much fuller figure on a trip to her local shopping centre may be the best evidence yet that SBW Junior could be imminently on the way.

The first pictures of Sonny Bill William's wife Alana Raffie since he refused to say recently whether his partner was pregnant with his first child.

Raffie’s baggy attire and rounded middle are uncharacteristic for the svelte model and former professional Brazilian dancer.

Williams has made no secret of his desire to start a family and love of kids in the past.

“I’m 28 now and I’d only like to play into my early 30s. I want to be able to run around with my kids,” he told The New Zealand Herald just a few weeks ago.

Sonny Bill William's wife Alana Raffie was pictured at a Sydney shopping centre yesterday.

He added to The Footy Show last year: “When I finish playing and that I’m not gonna be chasing the limelight, I’ll settle for, God willing, just raising my kids to be good kids and still being the favoured uncle that I am at the moment and somewhere happy but with my family.”

The notoriously private Roosters player and his model wife wed in August last year, just six months after they began dating.

Raffie’s fuller figure has caused many to suggest she is pregnant.

But their surprise marriage was only confirmed in late April this year with a handful of friends and family sworn to secrecy about the nuptials.

On March 7 Raffie gave a clue to expect big news from the pair: “Big news from the both of us to be announced soon! Some secrets are just too hard to keep :)’’.

It’s not yet known whether the announcement referred to the news of their marriage or a pregnancy.

Either way, one thing is for sure, if there is a bub on the way we’ll soon know about it because Sonny certainly loves himself a baby selfie:
