AFL 2023: Dane Swan and partner Taylor Wilson welcome twin daughters

Retired AFL star Dane Swan and his long-time girlfriend Taylor Wilson have welcomed twin daughters.

The 2011 Brownlow Medal winner, 38, and his partner, already parents to two-year-old Tait, welcomed Sage and Scout in December.

Swan has previously spoken about how fatherhood completely changed his outlook on life.

“I do stupid things and try to make Tait laugh. That is my role in the family to make him laugh,’ he told her to the herald sun.

Last year, the couple embarked on a love vacation to the United States, visiting Taylor’s family and introducing Tate to relatives.

Dane shared a gallery of gorgeous snaps on Instagram showing his highlights from the holiday, including introducing Tait to Santa Claus.

The football great and his girlfriend welcomed Tait in February 2021.

The couple started dating in 2010 but have been known to keep a lower profile than some AFL couples.

Dane revealed on his podcast, Hump Day with Swanny and Friends, that Taylor had the first choice to name his eldest child.

Swan has previously spoken about how fatherhood completely changed his outlook on life.

So Taylor won. Her name is Tait Hale, which is my mother’s maiden name, and Wilson Swan. So Tait Hale Wilson Swan,” Dane said.

He added that he would have the last word in the choice of the name of his second son.

“I like Tait, but he was not my number one,” he said.
