Jesinta and Buddy welcomed their first child together on February 23.
“Jesinta and Lance are thrilled to announce the arrival of their beautiful baby daughter, Tallulah Franklin,” a spokeswoman for the couple said told The Daily Telegraph. "They are both absolutely besotted with her."
The gorgeous model and her AFL playing husband announced they were expecting a baby on her Jesinta Franklin app, however, chose to keep the gender of their unborn bub a secret!
“My husband and I are so incredibly excited and overjoyed to announce that we have a baby on the way,” the model and former David Jones ambassador, 28, said at the time. “The journey to get here hasn’t been easy and this little life is the greatest gift and we feel truly blessed and grateful that we will have a little angel of our own.
“We have both dreamt of this for a long time and whilst the 2.5 years have been physically and emotionally challenging, there's nothing we would change as it brought us to this beautiful moment.
"The immense love we already have for our baby is indescribable and we can't wait to meet our little miracle."
While they were over the moon about expanding their brood, Jesinta's pregnancy wasn't smooth sailing. She often spoke about her struggles on social media, admitting she hoped her honesty would make other women feel less alone.
“I thought it was important to speak about it because I know a lot of women and couples who struggle. It’s not something that’s openly talked about, there’s a big stigma around it so if I can share my journey then hopefully I can give someone else hope," she told The Daily Telegraph in October 2019.
“I just feel so lovey and happy at the moment, I think because of all the pregnancy hormones.”
“I think that the challenges that we went through have strengthened our relationship and made us more appreciative of what’s happening. We’re obviously really happy and excited at the moment, feeling very loved up.”
