AFL star Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin and his wife Jesinta Franklin are expecting their first child together.
The couple, who married in the Blue Mountains in 2016, shared the exciting news on Jesinta’s lifestyle app.
“My husband and I are so incredibly excited and overjoyed to announce that we have a baby on the way,” she wrote.
“The journey to get here hasn’t been easy and this little life is the greatest gift and we feel truly blessed and grateful that we have a little angel of our own,” she continued.
“We have both dreamt of this for a long time and whilst the last 2.5 years have been physically and emotionally challenging, there’s nothing we would change as it’s brought us to this beautiful moment.
“The immense love we already have for our baby is indescribable and we can’t wait to meet our little miracle.”

I think its so important that woman like Jen Hawkins, Anne Hathaway and now Jesinta talk about their journey with infertility. It is a very very hard and isolating road to travel.
Definitely. It bothers me immensely that so many women feel so totally alone when they experience infertility.
I think it’s great too. So many women keep quiet whilst it’s happening too, and that’s when they need the help the most. Hopefully this public discussion helps women feel ok to reach out.
