Rugby playboy Danny Cipriani has become a grandad at the age of 33 — after his wife’s daughter gave birth to her second child.

The rugby player — who married Victoria Rose, 39, earlier this year — shared a picture of himself cradling the newborn, The Sun reports.

Victoria is already a grandma — her daughter Jade, 25, gave birth to her first child in 2017.

The young granny, who is also mum to son Kameron, 14, shared the picture of Danny and captioned it: “Meeting her pops...Granddaughter!”

Alongside a series of snaps, the proud gran wrote: “My beautiful strong daughter has blessed our family with another girl to love and cherish.

“I am beyond delighted to share with you Granddaughter number 2 she came into the world weighing 6lb 11oz.”

Victoria and Danny are currently trying for a baby themselves, but following a failed second round of IVF they have decided to keep their pregnancy journey private.

Victoria tragically lost a son at 24 weeks, leaving the couple heartbroken.

The couple tied the knot in secret in April of this year — after just twelves months together.

The former Melbourne Rebels star popped the question after a courtship of just four months.

Widely reported to be active in the dating pool, Ciprianni’s former partners reportedly includes Aussie star Jesinta Campbell and former reality TV host Caroline Flack.

Danny revealed their engagement after just four months of dating back in August and called her “the one”.
