In 2022, Nick Kyrgios, 28, and girlfriend Costeen Hatzi, 23, announced they were making plans to start a family.
And on Thursday, the tennis bad boy dropped his biggest hint that the high-profile couple is ever expecting.
On Instagram, Nick posted a photo of the couple posing together with the caption “family” and a love heart emoji.
It's the second time in a week that the Australian international tennis star has teased that he could soon have a new father.
On Wednesday, Nick shared a portrait of himself posing with Costeen on New Year's Eve.

The cozy photo showed a brave-looking Nick placing a hand on Costeen's stomach.
'NYE with my loves. Wishing everyone an incredible 2024 full of love, happiness, success and good health,” the caption read.
The suggestive message and Nick's body language led to speculation that the message was a pregnancy announcement.
“Are you trying to tell us something?” one fan asked, while another got straight to the point and asked if Costeen was pregnant.
“I thought this was a pregnancy announcement,” a third commented.
It comes after Nick expressed his desire to start a family with his beautiful lover Costeen, just eight months after they started dating (both pictured)
A fourth agreed, writing: “The way he's holding your stomach made me think this was an announcement post.”
After several minutes of tension, Costeen finally addressed the speculation in the comments and confirmed that the couple is not expecting a child yet.

He made the stunning revelation during an Instagram Q&A in July 2022.
Answering a baby question, Nick responded with a photo of the couple on the beach with the caption “Next year” next to a ring emoji.
In May, engagement rumors swirled about the lovebirds after another Q&A showed Nick hugging the interior designer with the caption, “Very soon,” alongside heart and ring emojis.

However, Kyrgios' management quickly denied that the pair, who became a couple in December last year after he split from his long-time girlfriend Chiara Passari, were engaged.
The couple live in a $1.6 million penthouse in Sydney's Kensington.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment features wrap-around glass walls that provide stunning views of the city, as well as a rooftop bar and two parking spaces.
The former world number 13 became Instagram official with Costeen in December 2021 following his split from long-time girlfriend Chiara Passari.
