“Family is the biggest thing, so to start my own is something that’s pretty special, and something I’m excited about,” Naitanui told STM.

“I’d love my kids to be bilingual and speak both languages. And also just have a sense of understanding of where they come from, and what’s come before.

The couple, who have dating for two and a half years, know the sex of the baby but have only told close friends and family.

Channel 7 presenter Abbey Holmes commented: “Nawww the best! Congrats guys, so exciting.”

Naitanui has represented the Eagles in 208 games since making his AFL debut in 2008. He is a three-time All-Australian, winning the West Coast best and fairest award in 2020 and 2021.

The Eagles are currently reeling at the bottom of the AFL ladder with one victory in the opening nine rounds of the 2022 season.

Naitanui and West Coast will next face the GWS Giants in Sydney on Sunday afternoon, with the first bounce scheduled for 2.10pm AEST.
