Shane Crawford has swapped his footy boots for dancing shoes on Dancing With The Stars, and cheering him on from the sidelines is his partner, Olivia Anderson, and four sons, Charlie, 18, Ben, 16, and twins Jack and Harry, 12.
Shane, 49, met his partner Olivia, 50, at his mate’s 21st birthday party before he was famous.
“I never followed footy, I just thought he was cute,” Olivia told The Herald Sun in 2015.

“If it had been the Shane now I don’t think it would have attracted me, that kind of lifestyle. It was very different back then and I could get to know him.”
Welcoming four boys in five years, Olivia has described herself as “the calm in the middle of the chaos. And Shane is the cyclone that stirs it all up again.”
The former Australian Rules player certainly agrees, likening himself and Olivia to “yin and yang” when it comes to parenting.

Deeming his boys his “mates,” the dedicated dad previously left his work commitments behind to spend more time with them.
In 2020, Shane and Olivia bought a property in NSW.
At the time, the Ninja Warrior host would travel between their Brighton mansion and his new home up north until they sold their Victorian residence for good.

“COVID has brought a lot of change, and the family has made a sea change, so it’s a waste living in such a big house here,” Shane said at the time, according to the Daily Mail.
The family of six lived in Victoria for 12 years and restored the house “back to its prime,” with the footy player saying he hoped another family would enjoy it going forward.
“It’s the childhood home of the four boys, so it’s sad. But times have changed and we are so excited about the next chapter.”
