Former AFLW player and media personality Abbey Holmes has turned heads with her latest household hire – a controversial reality TV star as her live-in nanny.
The sports presenter, known for her work with Channel 7, has reportedly brought in the unexpected childcare helper to assist with her young family. While the identity remains under wraps, insiders describe the choice as "bold" and "unexpected."
A Star-Studded Solution
Holmes, who shares two children with partner Dan Gorringe, appears to have found an unconventional solution to the parenting juggle many working mums face. The reality star-turned-nanny brings both childcare experience and undeniable star power to the role.
"She wanted someone who could bring energy and fun to the household," revealed a source close to the family. "This hire certainly ticks those boxes."
From Screen to Childcare
The surprising career pivot marks another chapter in the reality star's journey, having first found fame on one of Australia's most-watched unscripted shows. While their TV persona courted controversy, those close to the arrangement insist they're "a natural" with children.
Holmes, who retired from AFLW in 2022, has been open about the challenges of balancing media commitments with parenting. This unconventional arrangement appears to be her solution to maintaining career momentum while ensuring quality care for her kids.
Will this celebrity nanny arrangement prove successful? Only time will tell, but it's certainly one of the more unexpected household hires we've seen this year.
