An AFL WAG has been labelled ‘entitled’ after complaining about the price of a popular café item.
Tayla Broad, who is married to Richmond player Nathan Broad, announced she has had enough of the high price tag that comes with buying a babycino for her two-year-old daughter Samara in Melbourne.
‘Sick of spending $3.50 on a goddamn babychino,’ the mother of one shared in her stories on Tuesday.
She included a photo of the frothy brew in a reusable cup from the BBcino brand.
‘Homemade from now on,’ she added in the caption.
However, several people criticised the social media star for her post.

‘Your husband makes about $500,000 to kick a ball around… I’m sure you can afford $3.50,’ one person said.
Another similarly added: ‘Be grateful that’s only what you can’t/won’t afford (sic).’
One suggested Tayla was ‘entitled’ for the tone-deaf post, writing: ‘Some people would be happy they could afford a babycino! Instead families are starving and living in their cars.’
Another simply wrote: ‘First world problems’.
However, one fan chimed in and agreed with the WAG as they looked back on how cheap babycinos were a few years ago.
‘My granddaughter used to lick all the chocolate off the top and then discard the frothy milk. At the time it was about $1.50. She’s about to turn 16, so might be embarrassed by baby memories!’ they wrote.
A babycino is made with a small amount of whole cream milk and a dusting of powdered chocolate, just like a cappuccino.
Since it does not contain caffeine, it is the go-to treat for children.

Tayla is quite passionate about her neighbourhood and was left ‘devastated’ when her local café closed last year.
She shared her heartbreak after the business ceased operations in May 2024.
In her post, the dark-haired beauty said the café had played an important part in her mental health.
‘Anyone with a child knows how important your local café is to your mental health,’ she wrote to her Instagram Story over a photo with her daughter being held by a barista in front of a coffee machine.
‘Some days, it’s the only adult conversation you have outside your partner at the end of the day.
‘For Samara and me, our local café became our family. They watched Samara grow and learn new tricks, checked in on me every day, played with her, and loved her.
‘It was our favourite part of the day. Unfortunately, Sunday was their last business day.
‘Although absolutely devastated, I am also so grateful for what they gave Samara and me each day,’ she added.
Tayla and her husband Nathan tied the knot in October 2022.
The family currently live in Melbourne but are planning to move back to her native Western Australia.
