The couple who were married in December 2023 decided not to wait, and after a difficult first trimester, now look forward to welcoming their son in November.<\/p>\n
“Obviously she’s been the brave one, it’s very selfless of her to be the one to carry and miss out on the World Cup and part of her career,” Jasmine said.<\/p>\n
“But we’ve wanted a child for so long and if one of us didn’t play rugby, I think we would have had a child a long time ago.<\/p>\n
“We’re over the moon that we’ve been so lucky, we get to grow a child and bring him into the world.”<\/p>\n
Further ahead, Jasmine says it would be a dream to welcome their son onto the pitch, much like team-mate Donna Rose did with her daughter during the Six Nations. <\/p>\n
“It would be pretty cool if me and Alishia could still be playing, hopefully Alisha gets back fit and comes back pretty quickly,” she said.<\/p>\n
“We’ll have Joyce-Butchers on the back of our jerseys, that would be pretty special.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The couple who were married in December 2023 decided not to wait, and after a difficult first trimester,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33402,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":["post-33401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-rugby","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33401"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33401\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33402"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
