The couple named the adorable new arrival Darby Morris O’Keefe
‘Congratulations guys! He’s adorable!’ commented Nine presenter Kate Creedon.
The couple, who are proud parents to two-year-old son Henry, revealed they were expecting in June after trying to keep the news under wraps.
‘Vonny, Henry and I are expecting another little addition,’ O’Keefe told News Corp.
‘Henry’s about to be promoted to big brother and we’re absolutely thrilled.
‘Chaos incoming.’
O’Keefe explained that some of Sampson’s colleagues suspected something was going on during NRL’s season-opening matches in Las Vegas.
‘Let’s just say when Vonny locked herself in her hotel room in Vegas for round one, a few of her colleagues started to suspect something was up,’ he said.
‘But we managed to keep it quiet, it’s important to us to keep our private life, private.
The couple, who got married in 2018, are proud parents to two-year-old son Henry
‘She’s an extraordinary mum. She is not just the heart of our home, but the brains, legs, arms and everything else too.
‘I’m honestly just trying to keep up. Henry absolutely adores Vonny, watching them together fills me with so much happiness.’
O’Keefe is a Dragons diehard and confirmed that the new arrival will follow suit.
‘Henry had his Red V membership before he had a Medicare card, this will be no different,’ he said.
‘It’s important they build some character through long stretches of extreme disappointment.’
The couple announced their engagement in 2017 and got married in 2018.
The couple had been dating for more than three years after first meeting in the Channel Nine Brisbane newsroom (where the pair were both working at the time).
