South Sydney rugby league star Jack Wighton got a very special Christmas delivery late on Monday night when his wife Monisha gave birth to their fourth child.
The precious baby boy, Kove, was born less than an hour before Christmas Eve, making for a perfect early present for the family.
They announced the new arrival to the world on Instagram, with Monisha writing that Kove was ‘The best gift I could ask for in this lifetime.’
Country singer Chris Stapleton’s song ‘Billionaire’ played along with the joyful social media post.
This was followed late last night with the 31-year-old Rabbitohs centre telling his 107,000 online followers just how much he loves Monisha.
‘Mum was a true soldier yesterday,’ he wrote. ‘I couldn’t be more proud to be your husband and you to be the mother of my kids.’

Wighton suggested this may their last child, though, calling Kove the ‘last piece of the puzzle’.
Their other children Aaliyah, Ariah and Kayce joined their ecstatic parents at the hospital to welcome the latest member of their family.
The all spent Christmas morning at home, but the proud father is unlikely to be overdoing it on the turkey and ham.
He will be back at training with his fellow Souths players in the next couple of weeks to prepare for the 2025 NRL season.
