Courtney celebrates family news

James Courtney has announced the expected arrival of his first child with fiancée Tegan Woodford.

The father of two posted a video showing Woodford’s pregnancy to his social accounts on Sunday.

The video shows the pair celebrating the happy news and hosting a gender reveal party with family and friends at their Gold Coast home.

The baby boy, due later this year, will be Courtney’s third child.

“Four months of loving you,” Courtney and Woodford captioned the announcement.

Makeup artist and model Woodford joined in sharing her excitement to her own social accounts.

The couple became engaged in January after they began dating last year.

The pair first shared their relationship publicly while enjoying a cruise around Sydney Harbour in April.

Family and fans were quick to share their well-wishes for the happy couple.

It comes a week after Courtney scored his first podium of the season at the Bunnings Trade Perth SuperNight.
