AFL WAG Kellie Finlayson enjoyed a relaxing afternoon with her young daughter on the beach on Monday.
The 28-year-old, who is battling stage 4 bowel and lung cancer, shared a series of images on Instagram while swimming at a local beach.
In one image, Kellie was all smiles as she posed in a strapless black printed swimsuit and held her three-year-old daughter Sophia’s hand.
“After a friendly pickup at our location,” he captioned the image.
Kellie also posted another image of her daughter standing in the sand with friends wrapped in a towel.
The social media influencer has been battling bowel and lung cancer after being diagnosed with cancer in November 2021 following the birth of the couple’s daughter Sophia.
He underwent several surgeries and chemotherapy after his initial stage 3 diagnosis worsened to stage 4.
In July, she confirmed the sad news that she would have to resume chemotherapy to quickly overcome the cancer, which had begun to grow again after she stopped chemotherapy and radiotherapy in favor of natural and alternative treatments.

Kellie and Jeremy also recently sold their Adelaide home for a price well above their expectations.
The couple revealed in August that they were selling their property so they could secure a suitable place to provide home care for Kellie.
The couple sold their home at auction for $915,000, with bidding starting at $700,000 before quickly rising.
The house attracted a lot of interest and was eventually sold to a local buyer.
They purchased the house in May 2022 and hoped to make it their home for many years.
“I really wanted a heritage home, like a villa with wooden floors, and this one was in really good condition,” Kellie told Adelaide Now.
The 28-year-old, who is battling stage 4 bowel and lung cancer, shared a series of images on Instagram while swimming at a local beach.
“It has the largest backyard in the world and we wanted to expand it, but because of my health that didn’t happen.”
Unfortunately, Kellie’s current illness means the couple needs more space for her care and have decided to look for a rental property.
“This was going to be our forever home, but I guess life had other plans,” Kellie said.
In January of this year, Kellie stopped her chemotherapy and radiation treatments to rely on natural therapies and alternative medicine.
Unfortunately, the severity of his battle with cancer made this impossible.
“Unfortunately, cancer, especially recurrent cancer, grows very quickly, so once we don’t see even a millimeter of growth on a scan for a couple of months, we know that means it’s growing and that means we have have to act accordingly.” ‘Kellie said in a video she posted on TikTok.

‘So I usually come out of a meeting with my oncologist and he tells me we’re happy to watch and wait. It is not the case today.
‘I’m going to see a surgeon next week and also a radiotherapist to find out all my options before starting chemo again.
“I guess I’m one of the lucky ones because we know chemo works great for me, but any chemo sucks and it’s not what I want to do.”
Kellie is hopeful that she can control the disease with treatments that will allow her to survive for many years.
‘As long as (the cancer) stays, I feel like I have the potential to have a pretty long life. I got to see Sophia’s 21st birthday!’ she said.
‘I hope to see you on the first day of school. That’s still years away, but it’s more than I anticipated when I first heard the diagnosis.
