- Lyon already shares two daughters with his ex-partner Mel Waring
- ‘Garry’ will be a key figure in Five-Test series against India this summer
Australian cricketer Nathan Lyon’s wife has finally confirmed the sex of her baby more than a year after giving birth, and ‘Garry’ is now a father to three girls.
Champion Lyon, 36, had two daughters with ex-partner Mel Waring before he and Emma had their first child in September last year, as Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed.
Emma Leon took to Instagram this week, posting two images with his daughter whom he nicknamed ‘Mini me’.
And in one of the photos you can see the young woman wearing a t-shirt that says ‘daddy’s girl’.
There was no indication that Emma was pregnant before the birth of their daughter, and the glamorous couple did an incredible job of keeping the pregnancy a secret.
She attended the 2023 Ashes tour in the UK with the rest of the Australian team’s WAGs after marrying Lyon in July 2022, and appears to have carefully edited the photos she posted on her Instagram to avoid any shots that would reveal a pregnancy.
Even when the paparazzi spotted her, Emma was wearing a coat that would have covered any telltale signs.
The fiercely private couple also took pains to keep their engagement a secret before tying the knot.

The Lyon champion had two daughters with his ex-partner Mel Waring before marrying Emma (pictured together) in July 2022.
Emma and her bowling boyfriend’s relationship began in scandalous circumstances, as they were caught kissing in Perth in late 2017 while Nathan was still with Waring.
Waring detailed their heartbreaking split in a blog post in March 2018.
She said on social media that her pain was “real and deep” and recounted nights when she would lie in bed with her children and cry.
‘I didn’t ask for this, this wasn’t how my life was supposed to be. “He was my forever, he was my whole world,” she wrote.
Waring has since found love with a new man, but has not revealed his identity.
Lyon and Emma began dating in 2017 and bought their Sydney home together in 2020.
Rumors began to circulate that their engagement would be in 2022.
That was later confirmed when Emma was seen wearing a loud ring on her ring finger in the fourth Test against India at the Gabba, while also posting about her search for a wedding dress on Instagram.
Lyon will be a key figure for Australia when they host India in a five-Test series this summer.
Perth will host the first test from November 22.
