Cricket star Marcus Stoinis and his model fiancée Sarah Czarnuch have revealed they are expecting their first baby in a heartwarming social media post.
The post featured Stoinis embracing Czarnuch as she held photos of her ultrasound along with the caption ‘Half of me, half of you’ and a white love-heart emoji.
Their news was hailed by some of the biggest names in Aussie sport.
Test skipper Pat Cummins and his wife Becky both offered their congratulations, as did commentator Grace Hayden.
So did footy WAG Chloe Pink, AFL great Kieren Jack’s wife Charlotte Goodlet, and cricket legend Kevin Pietersen.
Stoinis, 36, announced his engagement to Czarnuch last September after he popped the question during a romantic holiday in Spain.

The joyful news comes seven months after they announced their engagement when Stoinis popped the question on a trip to Spain (pictured)
He posted a loved-up photo of himself and Sarah, who wrapped her arm around him to reveal her stunning diamond ring.
‘My fiancée,’ Marcus simply captioned the post.
Sarah also shared a series of photos taken shortly after the cricketer proposed to her on a boat.
‘On a boat off the coast of Spain, I said the easiest yes of my life 03.09.25,’ she wrote.
In one photo, Sarah showed off her incredible figure as she shared a sweet kiss with her fiancé.
She then shared a close-up of her shiny emerald-cut diamond ring.
The couple had been dating for around four years when she accepted his proposal.
Stoinis was previously involved with TV presenter Stephanie Muller, however their relationship ended in 2021, around the time Marcus and Sarah began dating.
Their happy baby news has come just as Stoinis’ pay packet has been revealed on a new list of Australia’s best-paid sports stars.
The Melbourne Stars captain earned $3million to $3.5million in the last calendar year, thanks mainly to his auction price in the Indian Premier League, according to Nine Newspapers.
Stoinis earned $1.7million when his services were picked up by the Punjab Kings, and he has also raked in the cash due to his contract to play in England’s The Hundred limited-overs competition, as well as his Cricket Australia contract.
