‘We couldn’t do this announcement without acknowledging those who are struggling with infertility or loss. I know how much my heart would break every time I saw a pregnancy post and my heart truly goes out to you if that’s how you’re feeling right now.
‘These past few years have changed me forever. For anyone who has lost hope right now, I’ve been there and I’m thinking of you, and I hope one day soon, you get your miracle.’
The golden couple of AFL tied the knot back in January 2020 during a lavish wedding on a private property outside Geelong in Victoria.
‘We had the day of our lives yesterday with all our loved ones,’ Brit told The Herald Sun at the time.
‘It was an incredibly magical day filled with love and happiness.’
