Gary Rohan’s ex-wife has appeared to blur a video published on her Instagram account of her husband holding his baby with his new partner Madi, as he and his children completed a lap of honour before Saturday’s AFL Grand Final.
Rohan, 34, was delisted by Geelong at the end of the 2024 season, but arrived with his children at the MCG on Saturda to watch the Cats take on the Brisbane Lions in the AFL’s showpiece event.
Brisbane retained their title as the league’s premiers, besting the Cats 122-75.
But before the match, legends of both teams were paraded around the pitch, with Rohan and his children sitting in the back of a Toyota Hilux, as they were driven around the sidelines of the MCG.
Rohan has two daughters with his ex-wife Amie – Sadie and Bella – and two children with his second wife Madi Bennett.
The former Cats star, who kicked 120 goals across 98 games for the club, sat at the back of the pickup’s bed, while his two daughters stood at the front of the cab.

Amie, meanwhile, was standing on the side of the pitch watching the truck drive past and appeared to take a video of the Toyota passing by.
Amie captioned the video: ‘My Babies (how’s Sades being the queen she is with the royal wave. I love them too much.’
She published the video online but at the same time appeared to blur out Rohan’s son with his new partner, who was born in 2024.
Gary and Amie were childhood sweethearts and were married for four years before they reportedly split in 2020 as the AFL entered into its coronavirus hub, prior to the birth of their child Sadie Rose.
Rohan subsequently started dating Geelong’s physiotherapist Madi Bennett, before the pair announced that they were engaged in 2022, before tying the knot in December of that year.
They would welcome their first child, Hugo, later in 2025.
The couple announced earlier this year that they were expecting their second child.
Madi has also taken on a stepmother role to her husband’s children, and has been seen doting on them on the sidelines of AFL matches while also taking Sadie and Bella to the park.

In 2018, Gary and Amie suffered a tragic loss when their baby daughter, Willow, sadly passed away five hours after being born.
Amie has since started an Instagram community to help other women who are ‘continuously processing’ the grief of child loss.
The community, called Willow Rays, was named in honour of her late daughter.
She added: ‘I’ve created a page to share my writings in regards to grief, child loss and all things related to navigating life whilst continuously processing grief and the daily challenges that come along with it.
‘Willow Rays. In memory of Willow, a space to share and connect. Come join me on my journey. Growing through grief.’
Speaking about the breakdown of their marriage, Amie said in 2021: ‘Last year was hard for me and every single day I showed up for my girls,’ she said.
‘Every single day I got out of bed and faced the day ahead of me.
‘The days after my marriage breakdown were some of the hardest days of my life, harder than when we lost Willow.
‘But I still got out of bed every day and faced whatever the day brought.’
In April, Amie welcomed a new baby, called Archibald, with her new partner Jaison Todd.
