- Heartwarming shoutout has been shared to social media
The wife of Sydney Swans great Buddy Franklin has lifted the lid on the current state of her mental health, and detailed how her man has stepped up in a time of need.
Jesinta Franklin, 34, made the announcement on social media and explained how Buddy is a ‘Super Dad’.
‘The past couple weeks have slowed me right down,’ she wrote on her Instagram story with a photo of her and Buddy in the background.
‘This last week got to me. Not being able to show up as a mum fully has been the hardest part.
‘Super Dad [Buddy Franklin] has been holding down the fort, making sure the kids are still having fun during their school hols [holidays) and giving me the space to rest.’
The Franklins recently welcomed their third child into the world late last year.

Their latest addition, named ‘Bam’ is the younger sibling of six-year-old Tallulah and five-year-old Rocky.
The news comes just months after the couple officially traded in their glamorous Gold Coast mansion for the country.
Franklin, and his model-turned-businesswoman wife have snapped up a $4.6million estate in Guanaba, a semi-rural pocket of the Gold Coast Hinterland.
Perched in an elevated position, the main residence is a contemporary farmhouse that looks out across manicured lawns, dams and established gardens.
A riverside gazebo sits by the water, adding to the country retreat feel.
The estate attracted huge interest online with more than 21,000 views.
Kollosche agents Kara Christensen and Bella Sorenson then sealed the deal after 15 private inspections and just 20 days on the market.
In a nod to their ‘hobby farm’ dream, the property also comes with full equestrian facilities, including stables and a barn.
