It was a family affair when eight-month-old Madison McGrath was christened last week in Sydney’s Cronulla with proud parents Glenn McGrath and Sara Leonardi beaming with joy.

Wearing a white gown fit for a princess, the tot couldn’t have looked any cuter as she was cradled by her proud mum Sara, 34, while dad Glenn, 46, looked on with pride.

The cricket pro’s two eldest kids James and Holly were also in attendance.

Last month, the star and his kids enjoyed a family beach day out.

The adorable tot has her loved ones wrapped around her little fingers. “Madison is a perfect, beautiful little girl,” says Sara.

“There is no new family being created here. This baby is just an extension of the family we already have,” she adds.

Glenn and Sara talk about the birth of baby Madison

The McGraths recently enjoyed a sweet family day out.

All eyes were on eight-month-old Madison.

The proud daddy is besotted with his darling bubba.

It’s clear that the 46-year-old is completely bowled over by the little one.

Looking good! Sara welcomed her first child in September last year.

The 34-year-old and her hubby told Australian Women’s Weekly that they went through two rounds of IVF and Glenn needed to undergo an procedure to bypass his vasectomy.

“Sara and I are very happy together and the kids are two really happy, normal children and I think, at the end of the day, that’s really the true measure of what Sara and I have built together these last five years of marriage.”

Madison is Glenn’s third child. His two children to his late wife, Jane McGrath, who died of breast cancer in 2008, absolutely adore the tiny new addition to their family.

“[Son] James used to ask us on a regular basis whether we were going to give him a baby brother. To see both their faces when they learned the news. James jumped up and gave both of us a hug and kiss. And that was really special for me and I know it meant a lot to Sara,” Glenn revealed.

Clearly James takes after his cricketing legend dad!

The family couldn’t be happier…

And Glenn mused that his late wife would be happy for him, saying, “I know she would want me to be happy and she’d want her children to be happy and they are.”

Sisterly cuddles!

What a cheeky bub!

The family seem completely content.
