Former Miss Universe Australia and beloved AFL WAG Jesinta Franklin has delighted fans by announcing she is pregnant with her third child. The exciting news comes as she and her husband, Sydney Swans legend Buddy Franklin, prepare to welcome another addition to their growing family.
The couple, who are already proud parents to daughter Tallulah, 3, and son Rocky, 1, shared their joy with followers on social media. Jesinta posted a heartwarming photo of their two children holding a sign that read, "Big Sister & Big Brother Duties Loading..." alongside a due date of February 2024.
"We are so excited to share that our family is growing," Jesinta wrote in her caption. "Tallulah and Rocky can't wait to meet their new sibling early next year."
Buddy, who retired from the AFL in 2023 after an illustrious career, has been enjoying family life since stepping away from professional football. The couple, who tied the knot in 2016, have become one of Australia's most admired celebrity pairs, known for their strong relationship and dedication to parenting.
Jesinta, who has built a successful career as a model, TV presenter, and wellness advocate, has been open about her journey with motherhood. She previously shared her experiences with postpartum recovery and the challenges of balancing work and family life.
Fans and fellow celebrities flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages. "So much love for your beautiful family!" wrote one follower, while another added, "Congratulations! Your kids are going to be the best big siblings."
This pregnancy announcement comes just months after Buddy's emotional retirement from the AFL, marking an exciting new chapter for the Franklin family. With their third child due in early 2024, the couple is set to embrace the joys of parenting all over again.
