In an interview with the Herald Sun in February, Buddy confirmed Jesinta was just weeks away from giving birth to their second child.

‘We are five or six weeks away from having our second. I am really excited about that and can’t wait to become a father for the second time,’ he said.

‘The main thing is you have got a happy and healthy family. Being a father has been the best thing for me. I am loving every minute of it and I wouldn’t have it any other way.’

The Sydney Swans player proposed to model Jesinta in December 2014, after 14 months of dating. They married in November 2016.
