Emma Lyon, wife of Australian cricketer Nathan Lyon, announced on Tuesday evening that she is expecting their second child. Lyon shared the news via a single image posted to her Instagram account, where she is seen clutching her visibly growing belly.
In the accompanying post, Lyon, 30, wore a loose white shirt and wide-legged jeans, posing against a twilight cityscape. She captioned the image with "We can't wait to meet you" and a sparkle emoji, tagging her husband.
Friends and followers quickly offered congratulations in the comments section. One wrote, "The most chic pregnancy announcement ever. Congratulations lovely!!"
The couple welcomed their first child in September 2023. During that pregnancy, Lyon managed to keep the news private, even when attending the 2023 Ashes tour in the United Kingdom. She reportedly edited photos posted on Instagram to avoid revealing her condition and wore overcoats to conceal any signs when photographed by paparazzi.
Emma and Nathan Lyon married in July 2022 after five years together. Their relationship began in late 2017, a circumstance described as scandalous at the time due to Nathan Lyon's then-existing relationship with Mel Waring. Waring and Lyon share two daughters, Harper and Milla. Waring detailed the impact of their split in a blog post in March 2018.
