Collingwood forward Jordan De Goey and his former reality TV star girlfriend Aisha Jade McKinnon have announced the “surprise” news they are expecting a baby girl.
De Goey, 29, has been held to just five games for the Pies in an injury-plagued 2025 season, although he is in line for an AFL return this weekend.

New Zealander McKinnon, who found fame as a contestant on Big Brother and is now a fashion designer and influencer, met the footy bad boy in early 2024 after linking up on Instagram.
They went public with their romance at Collingwood’s best and fairest awards last year and have since bought a farm together.
McKinnon’s Instagram bio says “Fashion, Beauty and little Farm life” and the celebrity couple used that platform to announce their happy news.
“In the midst of our changing lives we were blessed with the greatest surprise of them all,” they captioned a joint post on Sunday.
“Baby girl coming soon.”
The post featured an ultrasound, a sweet photo of De Goey holding McKinnon’s stomach and a video that appears to show the footy star getting a gender reveal gift from his partner (see below).
The announcement has received more than 35,000 likes and over 800 comments, including a number from De Goey’s Collingwood teammates.
“Unreal! Congrats to both of you,” wrote Josh Daicos.
Model and Daicos’ partner Annalise Dalins added: “The best news!! Congratulations you two! Sending (so much) love.”
Oleg Markov and Isaac Quaynor both wrote: “Congrats guys.”
Musician Bec Wilcock gushed: “This makes me so happy!!! Bring in the girl squad.”
McKinnon told the Herald Sun last year the couple have similar interests and are loving working on their farm about an hour outside Melbourne.
“He’s really lovely. We definitely value our privacy, we connected on that, and we both have unique jobs and support each other,’’ she said.
“We were like pen pals until we met. We’re getting our hands dirty at the farm transforming it and having fun.”
De Goey has played 176 games for the Pies, including the 2023 premiership, but hasn’t featured since round eight due to an Achilles injury.
He was then concussed at training in a collision with Brayden Maynard, setting back his return further, but he turned out in the VFL last weekend and is in line for a senior recall.
Pick No. 5 in the 2014 national draft, De Goey has had a series of alcohol and violence related issues in the past, including an arrest in New York in 2021 over an alleged nightclub assault.
