Jordan Ablett shares happy photo of son Levi watching other kids play – after revealing he’ll never learn to talk due to mysterious illness
Jordan, wife of Gary Ablett Jr., shared a sweet photo of the couple’s four-year-old son, Levi.
The mother-of-two posted the adorable photo to her Instagram on Tuesday, revealing that he sees other kids “doing things he can’t,” but is “always smiling.”
Little Levi suffers from a mysterious degenerative disease that seriously affects his respiratory system and he has never spoken a word.
Alongside an adorable photo, Jordan wrote, “This is a photo of Levi seeing other kids playing together.

“I often wonder what’s going through his mind as he watches and if he thinks about how they do things he wants to do but can’t, and while I don’t have the answer, one thing I do know that whatever it is that he thinks, it’s obviously beautiful and it makes him happy, which makes me happy.
“He’s just the perfect example of finding joy in the little things, how to be happy for others, no matter what our own circumstances are like and how actions speak louder than words – I learned so much from my boy without he ever said a single!’
It comes after Jordan shared an update on the health of the couple’s four-year-old son as he battles a degenerative disease.
Jordan, who has not disclosed what disease Levi has been diagnosed with, revealed in April last year that it is unlikely he will ever learn to speak.

“It’s very difficult from a practical point of view, but also very difficult to just be his mother and not be able to hear his voice or know what he needs,” she told The Herald Sun in an emotional interview.
“When he gets upset, I have to guess what the problem is,” continued Jordan, who has been married to AFL legend Gary since 2016.
“It’s hard too, because I’d like to just hear his thoughts, have a conversation with my boy, and for us to know that he understands how much we love him.”

Gary, 37, and his wife of eight years also share daughter Grace, who they welcomed in 2021.
Gary Jr. was an all-time great player for AFL teams Geelong and the Gold Coast from 2002 to 2020.
The midfielder won two premierships with Geelong, winning the 2009 and 2013 Brownlow Medals as the best player in the game.
He was forced to retire after a poor run with an injury with 357 games under his belt.
