AFL star Lance “Buddy” Franklin and his model wife Jesinta have announced they’re expecting their first child together after a struggle to conceive.
In a bid to boost downloads, the couple made the announcement on Jesinta’s health app on Tuesday.

“My husband and I are so incredibly excited and overjoyed to announce that we have a baby on the way,” the model said.
“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 will have a little angel of our own.
“We have both dreamt of this for a long time and whilst the 2.5 years have been physically and emotionally challenging, there’s nothing we would change as its 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.”
Jesinta and her Sydney Swans player husband, 32, married in 2016 in a secret ceremony in the Blue Mountains, NSW.
They have often spoken about their hopes to start a family, but this is the first time the couple have mentioned their struggles.
In February 2019, Jesinta told Seven’s The Morning Show: “We’re just leaving it up to the universe and whatever happens, happens”.
While she added to The Daily Telegraph the same week: “There’s a lot in our life that has to be so planned so I think the big moments in life happen when they’re meant to happen.”
Congrats you two!
