Nathan Lyon’s wife Emma reveals heartwarming video of their baby learning to walk – but still keeps one big thing about their child a secret
- The couple are well-known private individuals
- We managed to capture the pregnancy with smart photos
- Provided a rare glimpse into their private lives
Australian Test cricketer Nathan Lyon is facing a new little challenge after his wife Emma shared touching footage of their baby reaching a major milestone.
Emma posted a video of their little miracle walking, captioning it, “POV: you blinked.”
“It’s true, it really does go by way too fast!” she added.
The family dog Gus stands nearby, watching over the Lyons’ little miracle. A friend said the dog looked like a bodyguard.
He is so tolerant and [a] “Sweet big boy,” Nathan’s mother Bronwyn Lyon replied.
Lyon herself liked the post and also added three emojis with love eyes.
“So cute, but now they’re just getting faster,” warned another friend.

The Lyons are very private people and have not released their child’s name publicly
It comes just a few weeks after Emma shared more rare photos of their child, albeit wearing a hat and facing away from the camera.
Nathan has two daughters, Harper and Milla, with his former wife. However, the Test cricketer and Emma have been extremely coy about their first child together.
They have not released the name of the fast-growing child and are careful to only post photos and videos that do not show the child’s face.
Emma and Nathan Lyon, both 35, have kept their child’s privacy intact since his birth last year.
The pregnancy was kept secret until Ny Breaking Australia published exclusive photos, after which the couple made no statements about the child’s paternity.
Throughout this period, Emma managed to keep her pregnancy a secret on social media, even when she accompanied Nathan on the Ashes tour from July to August.
She made clever use of styling choices to hide her baby bump, wearing a revealing coat during a paparazzi encounter in May.

The couple also kept their engagement private until they married in July 2022. They made no formal announcements about their baby, underscoring their commitment to privacy.
Lyon is a devoted father, although he previously revealed he wasn’t the best husband after returning from The Ashes last year.
The record-breaking spinner was at his best in the first two Tests, which saw Australia take a 2-0 lead, but his series ended with a torn calf in the second Test at Lords.
He previously admitted that his injury and recovery made it difficult to keep in touch with him, but he praised his wife for everything she did – even though she turned out to be pregnant.
“I probably wasn’t the nicest person or the best husband at the time when I was at home watching the last three Test matches. But we survived,” he said.
‘I was able to contact Emma and have a chat with her, which was nice and reassuring.
“She sees me at my highs, she sees me at my lows, probably more than anyone else. To have her support, there’s nothing else in the world that can match that.
‘I am very grateful to Em for what she has been able to do for me, especially throughout my career.’
