Congratulations are in order! Ash Barty and Garry Kissick have announced the birth of their first child together.
The pair, who wed in July 2022, took to Instagram to share the exciting news.
“Our beautiful boy,” Ash captioned the picture. “Welcome to the world, Hayden!”
Ash announced she was expecting her first child in January, taking to Instagram to share the exciting announcement.
“2023 set to be the best year yet,” she wrote alongside a photo of the couple’s dog, Origi and a pair of baby shoes. “We are so excited for our new adventure 👶🏼💫”
“Origi already the protective big sister❤️”
Before the birth of her child, Woman’s Day reported that Ash had plans to involve her sister in her delivery. Ash’s sister Sara Coppolecchia is a midwife at St Andrew’s Ipswich Private Hospital, which is where the couple are reportedly planning to deliver their baby.
“Everything Garry and Ash do as a couple has always been under the radar, and welcoming their first baby will be no different, including the fact that her sister Sara will be with her every step of the way,” a source told Woman’s Day.
“They managed to keep Ash’s shock retirement and their July nuptials a secret, so you can expect this little baby is going to be heavily guarded – there won’t be any big glitzy announcements because that’s just how Ash likes to roll.”
The source also speculated that “Ash’s other sister Ali won’t be too far away, and her mum and dad Josie and Robert and the nieces and nephews will no doubt be in the waiting room ready for first cuddles! Everyone will be wanting the first look at the little bub.”
