West Coast Eagles AFL star Tom Barrass’s fiancée Nadia Rosa has shared a heart-wrenching family update on social media.
Nadia, the step-sister of the late legendary actor Heath Ledger, took to Instagram on Tuesday to reveal that the couple’s eldest son Billy, two, had suffered a broken leg.
‘Our brave boy Billy broke his right femur last week,’ she said.
‘He’s had surgery and will be in a pretty hectic cast for the next six weeks. We are absolutely heartbroken for him and it’s been a hell of a ride but he is handling it like a little champ.
‘Feeling very blessed to have all the amazing help and support from PCH (Perth Children’s Hospital), family and friends.’
