“Sending you and Barry all the love and baby smells xx.”
Brant, the TV presenter and former singer in the children’s group Hi-5, and Hall announced they were expecting a fourth baby in January.

Hall and Brant eloped in 2021 in a rush, so that Brant’s terminally ill sister-in-law could attend the wedding.
Hall enjoyed a stellar 289-game career for St Kilda, Sydney and the Western Bulldogs.
He was a four-time All-Australian, 11-time club leading goalkicker and captain of the Swans’ 2005 premiership team.
