Wayne Carey and his ex Jessica Paulke are back together and expecting their second child.
The couple, who have been in a relationship for several years and already have a four-year-old son, Carter, shared the good news on Sunday.
“We are both incredibly excited, as is Carter who is looking forward to having a little brother or sister in January,” the 53-year-old told the Herald Sun.
“Mom is healthy and happy,” the former footballer added of his 33-year-old model partner.
Carey and Paulke reunited last year after his stormy affair with Catie O’Neill ended.
The athlete quickly left his TikTok flame, 29, and fell back into the arms of his son Carter’s mother, the Herald Sun last year.
The couple kept things under wraps as they rekindled their romance.
Wayne and Jessica were first spotted getting cozy together at the Australian Open in January 2018.

The Victorian model became pregnant that same year and welcomed their first child, Carter Michael Carey, in February 2019.
Wayne also has a 13-year-old daughter, Ella, with his first wife Sally McMahon and a 4-year-old Charlotte Milla with his ex-fiancée Stephanie Edwards.
It’s unclear when Wayne and Jessica originally split, but he went public with Catie in March of last year.
The couple first met in January at a local pub where he was hosting an event.
However, the couple ended their whirlwind romance in August last year when Catie ‘moved on with herself’, the Herald Sun reported at the time.

Carey was previously married to his partner Sally McMahon. They married in 2001 after meeting at a party in Wagga Wagga. He was just 20 and she was 17.
But the couple’s relationship soon made headlines, but for all the wrong reasons.
Just a year after his marriage, the North Melbourne captain had a sordid affair with former teammate Antony Stevens’ wife Kelli.
Carey and Sally managed to repair their relationship and had a daughter, Ella, before splitting in 2006, just months after her birth.
