Australian Winter Olympic gold medallist Torah Bright has announced she is pregnant with her third child.
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?'
