The happy couple shared the news through an Instagram video, with the centre-back visibly elated by the ‘blue’ result.

Boyd’s former Titans teammate Jamal Fogarty was one of many football identities to pass along his best wishes.
Australian sports power couple Tanah Boyd and Jacqui Yorston have announced that they are having a baby.

The baby news follows the couple getting engaged in Hawaii last October.
“Congratulations legends, great!” posted the Canberra playmaker.
The baby news follows Boyd and Yorston getting engaged in Hawaii last October, and the Titans’ No. 7 shows off his romantic side after proposing during a boat ride.
The couple began dating in 2018, but Yorston’s football career was put in jeopardy when the midfielder suffered a devastating knee injury during a training session ahead of the 2021 AFLW season.
Yorston tore his ACL, MCL, and lateral and medial menisci, and instantly knew something was very wrong.
“I just had to wait for the scans to tell me how bad it was,” he told ABC.
‘Some people describe it as a pop, but I didn’t feel any pop. I just felt instant pain.’
Yorston made the decision to play for Port Adelaide in 2022, but the stress of working and recovering from the knee injury took its toll on the young athlete.
“I remember getting in the shower and losing control, starting to cry and telling Tanah, ‘I can’t do this, it’s going to be too hard,'” she said.
“I said, ‘How am I supposed to do my rehab properly when I go back to work?’
In March last year, Yorsten decided to step away from football for 12 months to focus on his mental health.
“We are proud of Jacqui for making the decision to prioritize her wellbeing,” Port Adelaide AFLW director Juliet Haslam said at the time.
