Glamorous Australian model Jesinta Franklin has finally unveiled the charming and highly distinctive name of her newborn son, whom she and her AFL legend husband Lance 'Buddy' Franklin welcomed into the world in December. The 34-year-old celebrity took to social media to share an intimate photograph of herself tenderly cradling the infant at their home, accompanied by a heartfelt caption.
A Sweet Introduction to Baby Bam
In the touching post, Jesinta affectionately referred to her little one as her "sidekick," revealing his unique moniker: Bam. She wrote, "Me and my little sidekick, Bam. He's been on every Zoom, attended every meeting, every photoshoot and now, every podcast I've done since he was born." The model expressed that while balancing motherhood with her busy career can be challenging, Bam has made the transition remarkably smooth, seamlessly adapting to the family's dynamic lifestyle.
Celebrity Friends Share Their Joy
The announcement sparked an outpouring of warm congratulations from Jesinta's famous friends in the comment section. Comedian Celeste Barber playfully greeted her with, "Hi Bam's mum," while Australian model Rachael Finch simply added, "Angel," reflecting the widespread admiration for the sweet name and precious photo.
Welcoming Their Third Child on the Gold Coast
Buddy and Jesinta celebrated the arrival of their third child on the Gold Coast in December, with Jesinta confirming the exciting news through a cherished gallery of images shared on her social media platforms. One poignant black-and-white snapshot captured the couple in a mirror selfie, with 39-year-old Buddy gently holding their newborn in his arms. Another photo showed the baby resting peacefully with Jesinta, who lovingly embraced her infant.
The model captioned the collection with emotional words, stating, "My heart feels like it could burst. Home for Christmas with the most special gift of all." This joyful moment comes after Jesinta recently opened up about the difficulties she faced during her pregnancy as she prepared for baby number three.
Overcoming Pregnancy Challenges
Speaking to 7News at an event, Jesinta admitted that her pregnancy journey had not always been easy, revealing she spent about ten weeks confined to the couch, which she described as "pretty hard." She expressed gratitude for having navigated through a challenging first trimester, saying, "I am so grateful and thankful, but it's nice to have come out on the other side."
This sentiment echoed her earlier comments on Instagram Stories, where she acknowledged that the preceding months had been taxing. The model and her husband are already proud parents to five-year-old daughter Tullulah and four-year-old son Rocky, making Bam a beloved addition to their growing family.
