Son's intuition reveals Australian Olympic gold medallist Torah Bright's pregnancy
The 38-year-old former snowboarder has two sons with husband Angus Thomson — and she says it was their eldest who first revealed the latest addition.
Bright said they are 'so excited' to become a family of five.
'The boys are hyped and so sweet with their baby growing in my belly!' she wrote.
On Wednesday, Bright said they are not learning the gender until the baby arrives.
'But I'm feeling a third boy,' she said.
The dual Olympic halfpipe medallist also shared that son Flow 'knew I was pregnant before I actually was'.
'A whole month before I conceived, he was telling people I had a baby in my belly,' Bright wrote.
'Maybe he already knows who this little soul is.'
Bright said younger son Halo has also connected with the baby.
'Every night, Halo falls asleep holding my belly — and every morning, he wakes up and kisses it,' she said.
'Our hearts are expanding, and so is our family. So deeply grateful for this growing love. #PregnancyMagic #IntuitiveKids.'
Bright made headlines in 2021 when she uploaded a photo of her breastfeeding baby Flow while performing a handstand to celebrate her first Mother's Day.
'Becoming a mother has unleashed something inside of me,' she wrote in the caption.
'It's deeply spiritual. It's primal. It's raw. it's fierce. It is pure.'
The post immediately went viral, prompting Bright to address the negative reaction in a video.
She said it was 'just a little bit of pure fun' and 'celebrating the bond between mother and child'.
She also said she could 'understand how it's not everyone's taste' but lamented the judgement.
'Mothers, we need to encourage each other,' she said in the Instagram video.
'We need to lift each other up. We need to pay each other compliments.
'We need to support each other. We need to be each other's biggest cheerleaders because motherhood is so beautiful, but the reality is we are the only ones who know just how hard those hard moments are.
'And we need to have each other's back. Not compare each other and judge each other, because we all do think so differently. That's why it's so beautiful.'
She finished the video by asking: 'But did anyone really think that's how I breastfed?'

‘Devastating': What these Aussies can't afford
Four million Australians cannot afford basic personal hygiene and cleaning products, new research suggests. Up to one-in-five people are going without soap, toothpaste, pads and tampons or deodorant, results of a new survey from Good360 suggests. The researchers deem being unable to afford these essentials as 'hygiene poverty'. 'The impacts of hygiene poverty are wide ranging, with our research showing it takes a devastating toll on people's mental and physical wellbeing,' Good360 managing director Alison Covington said. 'Hygiene poverty can cause feelings of low self-esteem, embarrassment and shame, and make it difficult for people to maintain their health.' Women are more likely to be deciding which health essentials they can and cannot afford, the survey shows. Credit: Supplied Good360 donates new and unsold clothes, homewares, toiletries and toys from hundreds of retailers to thousands of Australian charities and schools. The charity has surveyed 1000 Australians to see how many people cannot afford hygiene and cleaning products, and the results were released on Tuesday. One-in-seven survey respondents are unable to afford cleaning products, the survey finds. Women and young people are more likely to experience hygiene poverty. About 30 per cent of people aged 18 to 24 are concerned about affording hygiene and cleaning products, as are 21 per cent of women. 'Our research also highlights the significant consequences on daily life, such as people avoiding social events or other critical commitments such as work and school,' Ms Covington said. As well as personal items, the survey finds large numbers of Australians cannot afford cleaning products. Credit: Supplied 'Eliminating hygiene poverty isn't just about ensuring people have access to toothpaste and deodorant, it's about helping people to live a dignified and healthy life. 'There should not be millions of Australians, including children, going without the basics they need to thrive,' she said. Australian-founded company QV Skincare works with Good360 to help people get basic necessities. QV head of global marketing Simone Thomassen said the findings of hygiene poverty across Australia were alarming. 'We were shocked at Good360 Australia's recent report on hygiene poverty,' she said. 'Nobody should have to experience hygiene poverty in a country like Australia. That's why we are proud to be partnering with leading charity Good360 to donate essential hygiene products to people in need.' Nearly a third of 18-24 year olds and 1-in-5 Australian women are concerned about affording essential hygiene and cleaning products. Credit: Supplied Separate from the Good360 research, the Victorian government announced on Monday an expansion of its free pads and tampons scheme, which has put vending machines in major public markets, libraries, sporting venues and recreation centres. The $23m scheme has dispensed 90,000 hygiene packs since November 2024. 'Whether you're at a footy final or on a school excursion, you shouldn't have to worry about access to pads and tampons,' Victorian Women's Minister Natalie Hutchins said. 'We're delivering free pads and tampons in public places right across Victoria, and now we're making it a reality at some of our most iconic venues – saving Victorian families thousands of dollars every year.' The latest consumer price index data shows health costs having risen 4.1 per cent in the past year, while furnishings, household equipment and services costs have risen 1.1 per cent in the capital cities during the past three months. Food inflation is running at 3 per cent for the past 12 months. Overall, the household inflation rate has ticked up 2.1 per cent during the past year. Wages are outpacing inflation again, with the latest quarterly wage price index data showing a 3.4 per cent rise in annual terms.

Liam Neeson's son approves of Pamela Anderson romance
Liam Neeson's son approves of his relationship with Pamela Anderson. The 73-year-old actor and his 58-year-old Naked Gun co-star star are believed to have started dating after meeting on set and when they appeared on Watch What Happens Live to promote the film on Sunday (03.08.25), host Andy Cohen - who was a close friend of Liam's late wife Natasha Richardson - admitted he was "stanning" their romance, a viewpoint shared by Daniel Neeson. Andy told the couple: 'The question that I'm not asking the two of you tonight is what's going on between the two of you, but I do just want to say, as a very old friend of [Liam's], all of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say." As Liam put his hand on Pamela's shoulder and she reached to squeeze it, Andy then asked Daniel, who was sitting in the audience: "Right Danny?" Daniel replied: "Yes." On Friday (01.08.25), Pamela shared a series of photos of herself and Liam on Instagram along with the caption: "The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, family, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it's good for you! "I'll see you there [white heart and popcorn emojis] (sic)" And Daniel, 28, commented with a string of emojis including hands up, fire, and white hearts. Natasha's sister, Joely Richardson, also commented on the post with a string of red heart emojis. Andy recently admitted he was happy for Liam over his budding romance with Pamela because he can see similarities between the former Baywatch star and Natasha, who died in a skiing accident in 2009 aged 45. Speaking on his SiriusXM radio show last week, he said: 'Natasha was a dear friend of mine and I'm gonna tell you something. I and all of the friends in this circle are very much stanning whatever this is. 'As I was telling him at the premiere party, I go, 'Liam, she is an independent woman just like Tash was. She loves to cook. She has her own thing going on. She has two boys.'' Andy insists "this just works" as Pamela has been through a lot with her sex tape scandal and whirlwind marriage to ex-husband Tommy Lee - with whom she has sons Brandon, 29, and 27-year-old Dylan - and managed to reinvent her career. He added: 'I mean, this just works, and you know, she is a formidable human being, Pamela Anderson. She really is. What she's been through and how she kind of reclaimed herself and redefined herself." Liam - who has Micheal, 30, and Daniel with his late wife - previously confessed to being 'madly in love' with Pamela as he gushed about working with her. He told People magazine: 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with.'
