Ashleigh Barty announces second pregnancy in unique fashion ft. son Hayden

Ashleigh Barty delighted her fans with exciting news just in time for the holiday season. The former tennis star announced that she is pregnant with her second child, making the Christmas celebration even more special.

Barty retired from tennis in 2022, shortly after her Australian Open triumph. The decision shocked fans, as it came right after she claimed her third Grand Slam title in Melbourne. Later that year, she married her partner, Garry Kissick, and the couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Hayden, in July 2023.

Barty and Kissick have shown their desire to expand their family and are now ready for a new addition. The former World No. 1 took to Instagram to announce that she is pregnant with her second child.

Her post featured Hayden standing in front of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, wearing a T-shirt with the words "I am going to be a BIG BROTHER" written on the back. The tree was adorned with festive ornaments, including red and white baubles, small figurines, and other holiday decorations.

The caption reads:

"Merry Christmas from our growing family to yours!" accompanied by a Christmas tree emoji.
