Tayla Broad, a former contestant on Love Island and wife of AFL player Nathan Broad, is expecting her second child. Broad, 29, shared the news on Instagram on Monday morning, posting a photo that showcased her baby bump alongside their two-year-old daughter, Samara.
"We finally got our second little chick cooking away," Broad captioned the joint post with her husband. A blue heart emoji included in the caption suggests the couple may be expecting a boy. The announcement was met with congratulatory messages from friends and fans online.
This is the second child for Tayla and Nathan Broad, who welcomed their first daughter, Samara, in August 2023. Tayla Broad previously announced her first pregnancy in February 2023 with a similar social media post.
Tayla (née Damir) and Nathan Broad, a three-time premiership star for Richmond, married in October 2022. The couple began their relationship in 2019 and their wedding ceremony took place in the Gold Coast hinterland. They requested guests refrain from using phones during the ceremony, a trend they referred to as an "unplugged" wedding. Broad has stated her desire to see guests' faces rather than phone screens as they walked down the aisle. She wore a floral gown by Oglia-Loro Couture, while Nathan Broad wore a tuxedo by MJ Bale.
Broad announced her engagement to Nathan Broad in June 2022, sharing the proposal moment via an Instagram video. Tayla Broad gained recognition as a contestant on Love Island before marrying the AFL player and becoming a "WAG" (Wives and Girlfriends of sports stars).
