Ashleigh Barty and her husband Garry Kissick are overjoyed to announce the arrival of their first child, baby boy Hayden. The couple shared the heartwarming news on social media along with a delightful photo of their peacefully sleeping newborn, wrapped in a dog-themed blanket and wearing an adorable white hat with animal ears.
The retired three-time Grand Slam champion had revealed her pregnancy six months prior. The baby’s arrival comes a year after the couple’s intimate wedding ceremony in Queensland, Australia.
“The greatest triumph,” the Australian Open congratulated Barty on Instagram. “Future Wimbledon champ?” was the comment left by The Championships. Victoria Azarenka, Carla Suarez Navarro and Johanna Konta, all moms themselves, were among the first WTA players to share their well wishes.
