AFL star Gary Rohan and wife Madi Bennett have welcomed their second child together – a baby boy.
The 34-year-old former Geelong Cats star shared the happy news to social media earlier this week, posting a series of heartwarming photos of the couple doting over their newborn son.
One sweet image showed the pair proudly holding onto a baby bassinet as their little boy slept peacefully inside.
Another captured a beaming Gary gazing lovingly at his son while taking a ride in the hospital elevator.
They captioned the pictures with some heartfelt words: ‘It’s finally home time with our baby boy!’

The couple revealed their son’s name is Hugo, and that his arrival was both early and unexpected.
‘After a sudden and premature arrival, what felt like the longest week and a bit in NICU, and an emergency admission to the Royal Children’s. We are just so blessed to finally take you home and start this little life of yours,’ they wrote.
It wasn’t long before the news was inundated with well wishers.
‘Congrats,’ wrote Mikayla Crisp, before another fan added: ‘Oh Hugo! You’re so lucky to have this gorgeous family! Congratulations and well done mama.’
‘Welcome to the world Hugo! So glad to hear it’s home time for you all,’ wrote another.
It is the couple’s second child together after welcoming a baby boy in February last year following a heartbreaking miscarriage.
The AFL star posted to social media at the time to share the jovial baby news with his 49,000 followers.
Gary announced in August 2023 that he was expecting his first child and ‘rainbow baby’ with Madi.

The footballer also lost a child with his ex-wife Amie in 2018.
Announcing their son’s birth, Gary shared a snap of himself and Madi beaming from ear-to-ear as they posed with their newborn baby, who was sleeping in his pram.
In an accompanying caption, Gary confirmed the little one’s arrival as he simply wrote: ‘Home time with our little man.’
The proud father also shares daughters Sadie and Bella with his ex-wife Amie.
Gary and Amie were high school sweethearts and were married for four years before splitting in 2020.
He then went public with Geelong physio Madi in 2021, and the happy couple officially tied the knot in December 2022.
