You’re gonna be the best parents.” A fourth added: “This is wonderful news! Congratulations girls.” The baby announcement comes after the two tied the knot in late December, 2024 in the Hunter Valley. The pair beamed from ear-to-ear as they greeted their guests following the ceremony which took place at a winery in the picturesque Krinklewood Estate. Kat wore a stunning white dress and van Egmond, 31, wore a black dinner jacket and bow tie for the nuptials. Van Egmond will be the second first-time mum for the Matildas in 2025, joining skipper Sam Kerr after she and partner Kristie Mewis announced their pregnancy in November last year. Kerr posted a series of black and white snaps, two with the pair kissing, another with her and Mewis holding an ultrasound picture and another revealing Mewis’ swollen stomach. “Mewis-Kerr baby coming 2025!” the post read.
