Seven months after welcoming their daughter, model Jesinta Franklin and her AFL star husband, Lance “Buddy” Franklin, are reportedly expecting their second child together.

According to a report in the Daily Telegraph the soon to-be parents of two, who took four years to conceive their daughter Tullulah, are overjoyed at the news and have been telling friends.

“It is exciting news but early days,” a pal told The Daily Telegraph.

“Buddy and Jesinta are very happy,” the insider added.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2016, are yet to address the speculation however in a recent Instagram post, the model made sure her stomach was covered with her hand as she was getting her makeup done.

On Thursday, Jesinta took to her Instagram stories and made sure there were no close-up shots of her stomach.

Opening up about motherhood recently, the 29-year-old told Body & Soul she was embracing the wild ride.

“The highs are high and the lows are low, but I just love being Tullulah’s mum,” she explained.

“Now that we’ve got the sleep under control, it’s so much more enjoyable. It’s changed my life. There was a point at its worst when I didn’t know what day it was or if I’d had a shower. Also, we were living under AFL protocols for five months, so I didn’t have any family support. Being a new mum is isolating enough without [the added pressure of] a pandemic,” she added.

Jesinta, during her first pregnancy with daughter, says she loves being a mother.

In July, Jesinta and Buddy, 33, were forced to spend eight weeks apart as the sports star went into the AFL quarantine bubble in Queensland because of COVID-19.

“Laying on the floor of my daughters room. The craziest 24 hours,” the former Miss Universe winner confessed in a raw Instagram video.

She continued: “Not sure when I’ll see my husband next, he’s gone into an AFL quarantine hub for an unspecified amount of time.”

“We already miss you,” she finished.

A huge congrats to Jesinta and Buddy!

After a four-year fertility journey, the couple welcomed their first child together in February.
