‘Congratulations guys. Nice,’ added Nat Medhurst.

“Pretty boy,” wrote Brittany Brown.

While Grandma Lisa Cripps couldn’t resist gushing all over the little guy.

Thank you for another beautiful grandson Liv and Jamie. Welcome to the Lance Owen family,” she wrote.

The couple already shares a two-year-old son, Reif.

Jamie, who plays for the West Coast Eagles, tied the knot with Liv in October 2021.

The couple was surrounded by family and friends as they celebrated their nuptials at Black Brewing Co, a craft beer brewery in Margaret River.

Jamie got down on one knee and popped the question in 2019 in Queensland, New Zealand.

“YES forever with you,” Liv said at the time.

The pair were first linked romantically when she attended the John Worsfold Medal Ceremony in 2017.

Liv revealed after the wedding that she had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the age of 26.

She noted that “cancer” wasn’t a word she ever expected to hear in her mid-20s, but she felt it was important to share so everyone checks their own irregular “lumps.”

“I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer a few weeks ago,” she wrote on Instagram.

“So grateful to be surrounded by so many wonderful friends and family who have shown so much love and support.

“I’m sharing my story to encourage others to get those lumps checked, because you can never be sure,” she said.

According to the Cancer Council Australia, approximately 2,900 people are diagnosed with thyroid cancer each year in Australia.

It is the most common cancer in women aged 20-24.
