Libby Trickett Gives Birth To Baby Number Four

Australian Olympian Libby Trickett has given birth to baby number four, and after three girls, it’s a boy!

The 38-year-old retired professional swimmer says she and her husband Luke, Trickett, 40, now have the ‘final little piece to our family puzzle (for reals this time! ????)’!

She shared a gorgeous, smiley snap of the couple and their son at hospital, just moments after his birth, saying, “Alfred Sunny Trickett arrived at 9.09am on the 17th of May via an elective caesarean birth, weighing 3.5kg and 52cm long.

“Every birth I’ve had has been extraordinary and this one was no different. Calm, full of joy and laughter, I couldn’t have asked for a better way to meet our baby boy. Alfie has no idea what he’s in for with his 3 big sisters and the girls are absolutely smitten.”

Libby revealed in December that she was expecting her fourth baby, admitting to being ‘thrilled’, but a little scared!

“Luke and I are absolutely thrilled (and ever so slightly terrified) to announce that we will be welcoming Baby Trickett 4.0 into the world in May!” Libby wrote on an Instagram post.

“Poppy is not sure she’s ready for another baby, Eddie thinks it will be a little girl and Bronte is excited to be a big sister but really has no idea what’s she’s in for.”

Libby also added some honest hashtags to her post, which included an ultrasound of their bundle of joy, including: #wemustbeslightlybonkersorsuckersforpunishment

Congratulations, Libby. If anyone can do this, you can. And 4 kids isn’t too much to handle. They will keep on pairing off and you will find it’s easier than three as no one gets left out with 4. That was my experience anyway. Hope you enjoy your full life. Cheers
