Aussie Olympic legend announces fifth pregnancy
Aussie Olympic champion Libby Trickett has announced that she is expecting her fifth child with husband Luke.
The swimming legend shared her joyous news on Instagram on Friday with an ultrasound image and the caption: “Luke and I are absolutely thrilled (and ever so slightly terrified) to announce that we will be welcoming Baby Trickett 5.0 into the world in April."
“Poppy is already excited for another baby, Eddie thinks it will be a little boy, Bronte thinks it will be a little girl and Alfie keeps pointing to my tummy and saying ‘baby’ but really has no idea what’s he’s in for.”
The four-time Olympic gold medallist added that this will be her final pregnancy.
She wrote: “We must be slightly unhinged or suckers for punishment. Probably both” and then added: “I really, really promise this is absolutely it”.
Fellow olympians and friends took to the comments to congratulate the couple.
“Amazing!!!!!!! Big families are the best” Olympian Jana Pittman commented.
“This is Olympian level parenting!! Congratulations," added Neuroscientist Dr Sarah McKay.
“The world needs more people raised in warm, loving homes. I am so thrilled for you all, Lib. You’ve got this. And we’ve all got you," wrote author Rebecca Sparrow.
Trickett and her husband already share four children - daughters Poppy, eight, Edwina, five, and Bronte, three, and a son, Alfred, 18 months.
