NRL star Bradman Best shares heartwarming gender reveal with partner Kayla Fenech
Best, 23, and the daughter of Aussie boxing legend Jeff Fenech staged the reveal on Sunday afternoon.
The Knights star kicked a football, which exploded with pink smoke, symbolising that he and Fenech are expecting a baby girl.
'Little princess,' Bradman captioned the clip alongside a heart emoji.
The reveal will come as great news to Jeff Fenech, who has said that he can't wait to be a grandfather.
The boxing icon previously stated that he didn't want his daughter to date a football player - but changed his tune after meeting Best.
The couple recently announced they are expecting a baby in 2026 on Instagram.
'Baby Best due in January 2026. We can't wait,' Kayla wrote on the social media platform.
But despite his earlier comments, Fenech has now spoken of his delight at the news.
'They are so happy,' he told The Daily Telegraph.
'And I'm so proud of both of them. Whether it's a boy or a girl, the baby is going to have some great genes.
'And they'll be great parents. I love Kayla and Bradman is a great fella who will make a great dad.'
Fenech said he initially went 'apes***' when he found out his daughter was dating a footy player.
'I'd always warned my girls about going out with league players,' he had previously said.
He added: 'So when she rang and told me, I went off the deep end. I gave her a roasting. She kept trying to say, 'Dad, he's a lovely guy'. Kayla was telling me every day how nice he was.
'Bradman knew I was angry, but he told Kayla, 'I'll prove your dad wrong' - and he (certainly) has.'
Kayla has over 200,000 followers on Instagram and works as a business development manager for Ray White.
After announcing the big news on Instagram, the pair received a heartfelt reception from many of their close friends and family.
Her mother Suzee wrote in the comments: 'Omg I'm so proud of you both, can't wait to meet my gorgeous little bubba.
'Super excited to be on this next chapter/journey with you both. Luv u both.'

Alexander Isak's stance on Liverpool transfer revealed as Reds consider bid
Alexander Isak's stance towards a Liverpool move has been revealed as the Reds consider a £120million bid for the Newcastle striker. Arne Slot's side have already launched an impressive summer recruitment drive, with Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz all arriving before pre-season. But the Reds are keen to build further on the side that coasted to the Premier League title last season, and have earmarked a striker as a position to strengthen. Isak is a player whom Liverpool have long admired and reports suggest the Merseyside club have now approached Newcastle to sound of the possibility of a deal this summer. Liverpool are said to be willing to pay as much as £120m for the Swede, although at this stage it appears that Newcastle are unwilling to entertain the possibility of selling their star striker this summer. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. Isak, who scored 23 league goals last season, has reportedly not pushed for a move as he prepares for another season back in the Champions League with Newcastle. However, transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano suggests that the 25-year-old would be open to a move to Anfield this summer if a bid came in for his services. 'From what I'm hearing, Alexander Isak is very calm,' Romano said in a video on his YouTube channel. 'He knows very well that Newcastle want to keep him and he knows that Newcastle want to offer him a really important contract. 'At the same time, he knows that Liverpool would offer not just important money but an ambitious project, too. 'So Alexander Isak is not closing doors to this possibility and Liverpool were never going to make club-to-club contact without a feeling that the player would be open to the idea of a move.' More Trending Should Liverpool be unsuccessful in their pursuit of Isak, the club will consider a move for Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike. Ekitike has an £86m release clause in his contract and has already been the subject of heavy interest from Newcastle, who want the Frenchman to play alongside Isak at St James' Park. A bid of £65m from Newcastle has already been rejected by the Bundesliga side, but further talks between both clubs have reportedly been held. Liverpool, meanwhile, have made contact with Frankfurt but are yet to submit an offer for the 23-year-old. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Liverpool fans think they know what Virgil van Dijk said to Alexander Isak amid £125m chase
Liverpool are on the hunt for a new forward to ensure they keep hold of their Premier League title and Newcastle's Alexander Isak has been identified as their primary transfer target Liverpool fans will remember how captain Virgil van Dijk exchanged words with Alexander Isak after their Carabao Cup final defeat to the Magpies back in March - as the Reds continue to chase the £125m striker. Arne Slot 's side are ramping up their bid to sign a new striker this summer after already splashing out more than £170million on a raft of new signings. That included smashing their transfer record to secure the £116.5m addition of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen - and they might have to do so again if they want to bring Isak to Anfield. The Sweden international has emerged as Liverpool's next priority transfer target but a deal looks difficult to complete, with Newcastle extremely reluctant to lose their prized striker. It is understood the Reds could have to spend around £125m just to get the Magpies to consider a bid, with Slot keen to bring in a top forward to complement his already impressive attacking options. Liverpool came up against Isak in their disappointing 2-1 defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final four months ago. The 25-year-old found the back of the net as he netted Newcastle's second goal at Wembley and was seen speaking to Van Dijk after the game. The Dutchman had been filmed whispering in the striker's ear and that led to wild speculation on social media among Liverpool fans. Some had theorised that Van Dijk had told him "see you in the summer" or "see you in pre-season". Another added: "That was definitely Alex saying to Virg 'see you next season'. I'm so happy I could cry." "Virg telling Isak he's Liverpool's number 9 next season," read a further post from a Liverpool fan on Twitter. If Liverpool can't get a deal for Isak over the line, they could switch their attentions to Hugo Ekitike after reportedly approaching his club Eintracht Frankfurt over a move. Newcastle are have had a £70m bid rejected by Frankfurt, who are said to be holding out for around £85m.
