South Sydney rugby league star Jack Wighton received a very special Christmas delivery on Monday night when his wife Monisha gave birth to their fourth child.
The precious baby, Kove, was born less than an hour before Christmas Eve, making him a perfect early gift for the family.
They announced the new arrival to the world on Instagram, with Monisha writing that Kove was “the best gift I could ask for in this life.”
Country singer Chris Stapleton’s song ‘Billionaire’ played along with the upbeat social media post.
This was followed last night when the Rabbitohs centre, 31, told his 107,000 online followers how much he loves Monisha.
“Yesterday mom was a real soldier,” he wrote. “I couldn’t be more proud to be your husband and you to be the mother of my children.”

However, Wighton suggested this could be their last child, calling Kove the “last piece of the puzzle.”
Their other children, Aaliyah, Ariah and Kayce, joined their ecstatic parents at the hospital to welcome the latest member of their family.
Everyone spent Christmas morning at home, but the proud father is unlikely to go overboard on the turkey and ham.
He will return to training with his fellow Southern players in the coming weeks to prepare for the 2025 NRL season.
