Earlier this month, she shared how she is settling into life on the Gold Coast after Buddy quit the AFL last year.

Speaking to the Courier Mail, Jesinta said she and Buddy, 37, are loving a slower paced lifestyle with their two young children after moving from Sydney.

‘It’s nice to have that time to unwind. Nineteen years was a lot and we’re literally enjoying life, no pressure, no stress,’ she said.

‘Lulu will be starting prep next year so we’ve got that precious time with the kids.’

Buddy meanwhile told the publication that he is ‘feeling good’ and ‘a lot less stressed’ now that he has more time to spend with his family.

The pair married in 2016 and share two children, Tullulah, three, and Rocky, two.
