Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis have been giving fans on social media glimpses into their new lives as parents.
The football stars welcomed their son Jagger into the world one week ago and have been seen beaming with elation after taking their newborn out for walks while enjoying life at home as a family.
Kerr, who plays for the Matildas and Mewis, who plays for the US National team, stepped out with Jagger earlier this week for a walk in the park.
The footballers published a heartwarming snap of each other walking hand-in-hand down the street as they pushed Jagger along in a stroller.
They also published a snap of Kristie's parents, Melissa and Robert, meeting their grandchild over dinner.
In recent days, speculation has begun to emerge that Kerr has returned to Chelsea training.

This Masthead understands that Kerr had been picked up by a private car that had been rented by her club, Chelsea, and had been taken to the training ground one morning earlier this week.
It comes as Chelsea face Manchester United in the Women's FA Cup final on Sunday at Wembley.
Kerr has been out of action for over a year after she suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament back in January 2024.
The footballer later underwent surgery on the injury but has not played for the Matildas or Chelsea since.
Kerr has been seen training on grass with her team-mates in recent months and returned to Australia in April, to spend time around Tom Sermanni's side during their recent friendlies against South Korea.
It is not yet clear when Kerr could be fit to return to action.
Sonia Bompastor recently said she had hoped that Kerr could make a comeback before the end of the season but was unable to give a firm answer on the matter.
'She's working really hard,' Bompastor said in a press conference at the end of April.
Mewis also took to Instagram to share with her fans that she has been taking things slowly in the past few days
'All the performance staff are doing everything for her to play this season.
'We'll see how it goes. We know we only have a few games left now. 'Hopefully, yes, but it's difficult for me to have a clear answer.'
West Ham star Mewis, meanwhile, was later seen stepping out of their London home with Jagger and a friend.
Mewis donned a pair of sunglasses and a black hat, as she pushed Jagger along in a black pram.
The new mum, who cut a low profile, stopped for a moment to play with her baby boy as they enjoyed a walk in the London sun.
Mewis also took to her Instagram this week to give fans another glimpse into their life at home.
She took a selfie of herself nursing her baby boy, Jagger, while wearing a pair of boob pads.
She captioned the Instagram story: 'Slow mornings and boob pads!!'
Many of their friends, team-mates and family members have been taking to social media to congratulate the happy couple on the exciting news.
Matildas stars MacKenzie Arnold, Caitlin Foord and Emily Van Egmond were among those writing congratulations messages.
Kerr had also issued her support to her fiancee Mewis this week, writing in the comments of Mewis' recent Instagram post: 'You are the best,' adding a 'heart' emoji.
Kerr revealed to fans during her high-profile court case this year that she and Mewis were planning to get married later this December.
She also shed a light on how the couple first met.
The pair had met around 2019, after the Australian had moved to London to play for Chelsea just before the Covid-19 pandemic.
The 31-year-old striker explained to the court that the American had 'slid into her DMs' and the pair subsequently began dating.
She also revealed during the trial that the pair were expecting a baby boy.
It is unclear when Kerr could return to action, having spent over a year on the sidelines due to the injury

She and Mewis also made headlines in 2021, after the West Ham midfielder was seen consoling Kerr on the football field during the Olympics.
The US National side had beaten Australia 4-3 in the third-place play-off in Tokyo and Kerr cut an emotional figure following the loss.
She and Mewis gathered in the centre circle with the American subsequently embracing a teary-eyed Kerr in heartwarming scenes.
Mewis, 34, and Kerr, 31, would get engaged in 2023. The US soccer star revealed the heartwarming news to People Magazine, stating: '[She's] my biggest supporter, always listening to me nag and complain at all of my crazy antics.'
Mewis' last game for West Ham came in September 2024.
The Massachusetts-born footballer, who wears No 15 for the Hammers, began her senior professional footballing journey, playing for Canberra FC. She'd later move back home to the US and enjoyed spells with several teams, notably the Boston Breakers and the Houston Dash. She'd also spend a season out on loan with the Breakers at Bayern Munich and Japanese side Iga FC Kunoichi.
She'd also turn out for the NJ/NY Gotham FC during the 2022-23 season before moving to West Ham.
