Just months after the star announced her J retirement champion from tennis, Ash Barty has revealed her next big project - a baby!
"She made her mark, made her money and chose this life instead," commented one fan of the 26-year-old star's decision to swap the court for changing nappies.
Taking to Instagram to share that she and professional golfer husband Garry Kissick, 32, are expecting their first child, Ash gushed, "2023 is set to be the best year yet.
We're so excited for our new adventure."
And while the Aussie sports star gave no further details on her pregnancy, fans couldn't but notice the emoji Ash chose to accompany her sweet post seemingly gave away bub's gender - a baby boy!
Dad-to-be Garry already seems keen to ensure the little guy is sporty like his parents.
"Little Red, 2023," he wrote alongside a pic of a mini jersey from his beloved UK Premier League Liverpool Football club while announcing the baby news on his own Instagram.
