Three months after welcoming her third child into the world, Jesinta Franklin has finally revealed her baby’s unique name.
The model took to Instagram to share a sweet black-and-white selfie of herself with her newborn.
“Me and my little sidekick, Bam 🤍,” she wrote in the caption on March 23.
“He’s been on every Zoom, attended every meeting, every photoshoot and now, every podcast I’ve done since he was born. It can be tricky finding the balance between it all, but this guy has made it so easy for us, he doesn’t leave our side and just rolls with the chaos that is our life!”
The mother of three, who shares her children with her husband Buddy Franklin, shared the news of her son’s birth on Instagram on Christmas Eve.
“My heart feels like it could burst 🤍,” she wrote alongside a carousel of photos of her little one.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, she also shared a photo of her baby in focus, with the caption, “Christmas movie on the couch”.
Before their child’s arrival, the couple opened up about their fertility journey on Stellar’s Something to Talk About podcast.
“Really struggling to get pregnant with Tullulah, and then Rocky and this one to just come along very unexpectedly is a true blessing,” Jesinta said.
“Bud always has this thing, the more the merrier for him. So if I could keep going, we’d keep having kids, but I’m drawing the line.”
“There is so much excitement and happiness around welcoming a new baby, but there is also this feeling – I don’t know if it’s something that just a mother has – [of] also kind of grieving the time that I’m gonna have with just Tullulah and Rocky.”
She initially announced the pregnancy via Instagram on June 17.
“Tullulah & Rocky are getting a baby brother or sister for Christmas ✨ The most beautiful surprise of all @buddy_franklin23,” she wrote.
“Our hearts are full, and yet, we share this news with deep sensitivity. I know that announcements like this can be incredibly hard for those who are walking the path of infertility or loss. My heart is with you, always 🤍.”
Her heartfelt caption is accompanied by a reel of her shadow, where she is cradling her bump, and her children are kissing it.
Her celebrity friends were quick to send their congratulatory messages with the couple.
“❤️❤️❤️ Congratulations xxx,” Ricki-Lee Coulter wrote.
“So beautiful!! Congratulations, darling, what incredible news xxxx,” former MAFS bride Domenica Calarco added, who also welcomed her first child in 2025.
How many kids does Jesinta Franklin have?
The couple, who have been married since 2016, are already the proud parents of Tullulah and Rocky.
They welcomed Tullulah into the world in 2020 and their son Rocky one year later.
The model has been candid about her motherhood journey over the years, and that it hasn’t been easy.
“Easily the most sleep-deprived I’ve been since the kids were newborns,’’ she posted in April 2025 on Instagram.
“Kids, sickness, emergency room visits with ear infections, huge workload, early starts, kids not sleeping. Shout out to all the mummas showing up every day, look after yourselves.”
“The juggle has been absolutely intense the last week and a bit. Always so grateful, but wow, mentally this week was challenging for me.”
She also told the Herald Sun that she was in a “rut…where every day you are just slogging to the finish line”.
“That’s how I describe motherhood, it’s like the most amazing, relentless experience ever, the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows all in one, but it’s definitely getting easier,” she explained.
