Cricket star Nathan Lyon and his wife Emma looked like a very happy family on Friday as they headed to the airport.
The pair took along their rarely-seen newborn son for a flight to Western Australian.
The athlete and the WAG have been very secretive about their new arrival, keeping the pregnancy under wraps and avoiding a birth announcement.
Emma beamed as she strolled through the terminal while Nathan held the baby close to his chest.

Emma completed her ensemble with patent leather flats and carried a designer bag, as well as wheeling along a silver carry on case.
She chose a clean makeup look for the journey and wore her blonde locks in a straightened do around her face.
Nathan meanwhile dressed down in a cream shirt and black shorts, as well as sneakers and a cap.
Secrecy that surrounded the pregnancy before Daily Mail Australia broke the news with exclusive photos and got a simple ‘no comment’ when we asked the bowler if the baby was his.

Lyon and Emma did a great job of keeping their baby under wraps, with Emma appearing to have carefully edited the photos she posted on Instagram, even when she was on the Ashes tour with her husband from July to August.
Emma expertly hid her growing baby bump with a series of clever styling tricks in recent months.
She was last photographed by the paparazzi was back in May, wearing an overcoat that would have covered any telltale signs of a growing baby bump.
They also strived to keep their engagement a secret before they were married in July last year.

Lyon and his wife have made no official announcement about the baby, but an insider with impeccable links to the Australian cricket team exclusively gave Daily Mail Australia a few details last week.
Our source revealed the spin king never felt the need to tell his teammates and their partners to keep their knowledge of the new arrival to themselves.
‘Everyone knew, it wasn’t a secret – we weren’t sworn to secrecy, it just wasn’t anyone else’s news to disclose,’ they explained.
While remaining tight-lipped on specifics, the insider accidentally let slip the gender of the couple’s newborn.

‘I don’t know his name, sorry,’ they said.
Lyon, 35 and Emma, 33, are understood to be keeping their son’s name a closely guarded secret.
‘They choose not to lead a public life and if they choose to keep their pregnancy a secret, that’s their business,’ the source said.
The couple have been fiercely private from the beginning, and when their relationship progressed to getting engaged, they tried to keep their July 2022 nuptials out of the press.

‘They choose to not share that information or their pregnancy with the public or with media – so it’s not anyone else’s place to announce their news for them,’ the source revealed.
Lyon and Emma bought their Sydney home together in 2020. Rumours started to swirl that their engagement was on last year.
That was later confirmed when Emma was spotted with a hefty engagement ring on her finger at the fourth Test against India at the Gabba in 2021, while she also posted about her search for a wedding dress on Instagram.
The couple married in 2022, sharing a photo of their outdoor wedding in July that year.
