Three-time premiership-winning AFLW star's huge family announcement
AFLW star Anne Hatchard and her wife Georgie have shared the news that their family is about to grow.
The Adelaide Crows star posted a simple but meaningful black-and-white photo on Instagram, where Anne is giving Georgie a piggyback on the beach.
Georgie holds up ultrasound scans while both women are clearly in their own world, smiling as though they can't quite believe it themselves.
The next image shows Hatchard in profile, showing off her already-growing baby bump.
The couple also shared images walking down the beach with their ultrasound images, looking fawningly at a baby onesie and booties and sharing a tender moment beside the water.
The caption was simple: 'Baby Hatchard due in February 2026.'
And the moment it hit the feed, fans flooded the comments with excitement. with Channel 7's Abbey Holmes quick to respond.
'Yay! Congratulations guys!' she posted.
One follower summed up the mood perfectly: 'The best news! This baby is going to be so lucky to have you as parents.'
'So so happy for you both x. Can't wait to watch the progress posts. Congratulations to two beautiful souls and so deserving,' added another.
After tying the knot in 2023, the couple is now approaching their third wedding anniversary, giving them double cause to celebrate.
For Anne, 26, this milestone comes after a standout AFLW career.
She's won three premierships with the Crows, been named Adelaide's club champion in 2020, 2022, and 2023, and built a reputation as one of the league's toughest and most talented midfielders.
When she's not playing footy, Anne is a proud RipStik enthusiast, and she's not afraid to poke fun at herself – admitting she's her mum's 'favourite child.'
She's also the one behind the cleaning habits in the relationship, crediting Georgie for teaching her how to tidy up, which she now says helps her stay calm.
Her fans know her for the same authenticity that fuels her footy career.
