Barty hung up her racket in March 2022 after she won the Australian Open women’s singles title. The 27-year-old also won the French Open and Wimbledon titles.

The couple announced Barty’s pregnancy in January on Instagram, with their dog, Origi, lying next to a pair of baby shoes.

“2023 set to be the best year yet. We are so excited for our new adventure,” Barty had captioned her post. “Origi already the protective big sister.”
