Sport Confidential is your wrap of all the footy gossip and banter.
Collingwood star Bobby Hill and partner Georgia Devlin have welcomed their third child, a daughter named Hazel.
Devlin posted adorable pictures of the newborn to social media with the caption: “Hazel Hill my perfect little girl.”
Hill, the Magpies 2023 Norm Smith medal winner, wasn’t mentioned in the post and he hasn’t shared anything on his page.
The pair have two sons, Bobby Junior and Malakai, aged 4 and 2, who cradled their new sister in another picture shared by Devlin with the words: “My world”.
They were inundated with congratulations messages from the likes of Magpies WAGs Annalise Dalins, Mikayla Crisp, Frankie Evans, Kahlia Howe, Aisha Jade McKinnon, as well as Kellie Finlayson and Bradley Hill.
The baby joy comes as Bobby continues his campaign to return to AFL level after taking personal leave last year to deal with their relationship issue.
Devlin moved back to WA with their sons and announced just before Christmas she was pregnant with a baby girl.
Magpies coach Craig McRae confirmed last week that Hill would be granted personal leave to be with Devlin ahead of the birth.
“Bobby’s partner is due, she’s due this weekend, he’s unlikely to play,” McRae said.
“I am not sure if she’s going into labour, but he’s not here today, she’s got a bit going on.
“Again, we wish them well and see how that goes in the next couple of days.”
Hill has returned via the VFL, which was a big step forward after going back to the club in March.
But he has not played in the senior team since round 21 last year.
His premiership heroics completed a fairytale comeback after overcoming testicular cancer in 2022.
Neither Devlin nor Hill has commented on their relationship.
