Geoff Huegill welcomes second child

Olympic swimming star Geoff Huegill and his wife, Sara, welcomed a baby girl on Australia Day.

The new addition to the Huegill family is a little sister to their daughter, Mila who only just turned two.

While the couple are yet to release the bub’s name, mother and baby are said to be in good health.

The overjoyed swimming star recently tweeted: “Australia Day will forever take on a whole new meaning. #love #life #family.”

The former butterfly champion, who hung up his swimmers in 2012, has said being a father has changed his outlook on life for the better.

“Now that she is here, it makes all the other things you do in your life insignificant,” he told the Sydney Morning Herald when Mila was born.

Geoff and Sara, who married in 2011, had always planned on giving Mila a brother or sister, and by the looks of Sara’s prediction a year ago, their baby news happened quickly.

“I’m an only child and, while there’s nothing wrong with that, I want there to be brothers or sisters around,” she told The Daily Telegraph last February.

“Mila is one now and it’s such an amazing time for us. We’re having so much fun with her so there’s not any plans at the moment, but there will be. Maybe in about a year.”
