Collingwood midfielder Jordan De Goey and his partner, former reality TV star Aisha Jade McKinnon, have welcomed the safe arrival of their first child.

“She’s here, she’s perfect and we are absolutely obsessed,” they wrote.

The post was quickly flooded with comments from notable names from the footy and wider community.
“Beyond precious 💞💞 congratulations my gorgeous girl xx,” said Annalise Dalins, the fiancée of De Goey’s teammate Josh Daicos.
“Congratulations beauty xxx such a special time,” added former 7NEWS presenter Abbey Gelmi, who is married to ex-Richmond champion Kane Lambert.
Oleg Markov, Ruby Schleicher and Collingwood’s official account also sent their congratulations.
The superstar couple revealed their pregnancy in a heartwarming post in July.
“In the midst of our changing lives we were blessed with the greatest surprise of them all,” they said at the time.
“Baby girl coming soon.”
McKinnon is a fashion designer and influencer, and was a contestant on Big Brother in 2014.
Late last year, she opened up about her relationship with De Goey.
De Goey has the reputation of being an AFL bad boy and that image was only enhanced when he ended up spending the night in a New York prison cell after a nightclub incident in 2021.
Following that incident, his AFL future was under a cloud and he was stood down by the club.
In 2022, he was again in the news when he took a mid-season break in Bali, and a video surfaced of him during a big night out, when he was partying with a woman and appeared to attempt to expose her breast.
But McKinnon — who is also fashion designer and influencer — says that is not the De Goey she knows.
“It’s sad because I know a very different Jordy,’’ McKinnon told News Corp last December.
“He’s really lovely. We definitely value our privacy, we connected on that, and we both have unique jobs and support each other.”
