Pregnant Ash Barty Reveals Fear of Having Second Child with Husband Garry Kissick
Over the holiday season, Ash Barty announced that she and her husband Garry Kissick are anticipating the arrival of their second child.
The Australian tennis star, aged 28, expresses a mix of eagerness for the future and fear, as she faces the challenge of caring for her two little ones at home.
The couple currently have a 18-month-old son named Hayden and are expecting another newborn, meaning they will soon be caring for both a newborn and a toddler.
She shared with the Herald Sun that this new phase of her life, spent alongside her husband Garry, has likely been one of the most fulfilling, despite their lack of certainty about what lies ahead. However, she expressed joy knowing that he is alive and content.
‘Terrified for what is going to come next but we’ll figure it out, I’m sure.’
Ash said it’s not in her nature to deal with ‘chaos’ but she hopes to make it work.
In the past, as an athlete, I was incredibly detailed and organized to a fault. Now, however, things are chaotic and disorganized, much like a storm, according to Ash.
On Christmas Day, the champion took to Instagram to announce joyfully to her followers about the recent addition to her family.
She shared a heartwarming photo of her boy, Hayden, posed by the family’s Christmas tree, donning a T-shirt bearing insightful phrases.
Ash announced in her delightful Christmas message that she will become an older sibling, or more simply, an older brother.
Alongside the snap, she penned: ‘Merry Christmas from our growing family to yours!’
She was quickly inundated with sweet congratulatory messages from her friends and followers.
Comedian Tanya Hennessy wrote: ‘What???!! Omg congrats beauty.’
While swimmer Libby Trickett commented: ‘Ahhh congratulations! The most wonderful news.’
Dutch Tennis Star Kiki Bertens commented: “Well done,” while Cricketer Chris Lynn chimed in with: “Well done, legends.” (This version maintains the essence of the original message while using more common and conversational phrases.)
Last July, Ash gave birth to her first child with golfer Garry, which she announced on Instagram at the time.
The couple posted a picture of their newborn swaddled in a blanket, affectionately named Hayden, which they announced in the caption.
Garry gushed in a caption: ‘Our beautiful boy. Welcome to the world, Hayden!’
Later on, Ash shared the delight she experiences as a mother, expressing that nurturing her newborn baby Hayden has brought her numerous rewards.
‘It’s the best, and hardest thing, I’ve ever done,’ she told News Corp.
Hayden is simply fantastic, and I feel incredibly fortunate. Gary and I are relishing the peaceful moments we’re spending as a small family at home during this tranquil period.
On July 30, 2022, Ash and Garry held a private ceremony in Queensland to officially marry each other. Exactly one year later, they joyously welcomed Hayden into their lives, just a few months after Ash had retired.
This rather reserved pair initially crossed paths back in 2016, and they announced their engagement last November, 2021.
In a surprising move, Ash decided to retire from professional tennis after triumphing at the Australian Open in January 2022, reaching the pinnacle of her career.
During her retirement, Ash was ranked as the world’s number one player since June 2019, and she had recently claimed her third Grand Slam championship in a span of three years.
Last year, I openly shared that I have absolutely no regrets about my retirement from the sport, a decision that surprised me with its sense of comfortability. This sentiment was expressed during an interview where I reflected on my journey.
She shared with the New York Times that it’s likely she had a typical apprehension or doubt about her future, as she had been so dedicated to tennis.
‘I was a bit unsure how I would deal with that because I am a person who likes to be organised.
There might have been a hint of apprehension in it, but generally speaking, that hasn’t caused any problems, troubles, or anxieties.
It has turned out pleasantly unexpected that I’ve adjusted effortlessly into a lifestyle similar to others, which was my long-held ambition.
Ash has put an end to speculation about her coming back to competitive tennis or picking up golf, which is the sport her husband Gary enjoys.
‘The answer is no to both,’ she told New Idea magazine when asked about the speculation.
