Pregnant Sophie Cachia shows off her huge baby bump as she strips down to a bikini ahead of welcoming her third child – after slamming fans for quizzing her about her sperm donor

Sophie Cachia showed off her huge baby bump as she counted down the days until she welcomed her third child.

The former WAG, 33, took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday to give fans an update on her pregnancy journey as she shared a mirror selfie.

Sophie, who is counting down the days until she welcomes her baby girl, showed off her growing baby bump as she stripped down to a skimpy red bikini.

She showed off her intricate arm tattoos and peeked into her lavish home as she relaxed in her beachwear amid the balmy summer climate.

Sophie will welcome her third child in early 2025 after undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI) – a fertility treatment where sperm is introduced into the uterus around ovulation.

The single mother already shares two older children Bobby, 10, and Florence, seven, with her AFL ex-husband Jaryd Cachia, who she split from in 2019.

Sophie has given fans insight into her fertility treatment journey in a series of social media posts, but said she will not reveal any details about her sperm donor.

However, Sophie was left furious earlier this week when fans bombarded her with questions about the donor, despite her repeatedly asking them not to.

During an Instagram Q&A, the mummy blogger spoke briefly about the donor’s height after a fan asked her if she expected her unborn daughter to be a “big baby.”

She made it clear that she only answered the question because it related to her baby’s size, while sharing that her donor is actually shorter than her.

In a caption, Sophie then asked her followers to stop asking “personal” questions about the donor’s identity, but she still received a flood of questions.

In a follow-up video, a furious Sophie lashed out at the ‘idiots’ who had messaged her with questions, despite making it clear she wouldn’t answer them.

“This is what I hate about people and what I hate about the ugly internet,” she fumed.

‘I’m having a great old time, I’m resting, I’ve been to my midwife, my mum is cooking me a nice steak for dinner and I’m answering questions and talking to many of you in my DMs.

“And that one story where I put a little something on the bottom and just said, ‘Hey, don’t ask me personal questions about the donor, I’m not answering them,’ every question since has been about the donor.

‘Like you guys are just idiots! I’m not going to give you an answer, you’re doing it to provoke a reaction from me and you have one, but what’s wrong with you?

“You’re all adults and you did that purely because I asked you not to.”

Since becoming pregnant, Sophie has started dating AFLW player Madison Prespakis, 24, with the couple making their romance public last month.

And during the Q&A, Sophie talked about what it was like starting a new relationship during her pregnancy.

One of her fans asked if she had been ‘concerned’ about involving Maddy in her pregnancy and whether that had ‘hindered the honeymoon phase of their relationship’.

In response, Sophie admitted she was worried and said she had no plans to date while pregnant, but gushed over Maddy for accepting her children.

‘I wasn’t going to answer this, but I actually think it’s a very fair question. I’m sure a lot of people ask that question, so I’ll answer it. I think it’s a very reasonable question,” Sophie said.

‘The answer is absolutely: yes, and in both directions. It was never my intention, I talked about this in the only podcast I did.

‘I never intended my life to turn out this way, but it has.

“But when you say ‘involve your partner as much as you can,’ the extent to which he or she is involved isn’t really shared, so maybe there’s an assumption.”

Sophie said they have ‘fast-tracked’ a lot of things and are experiencing many ‘firsts’ as a couple, as she gave a rare insight into their relationship.

‘We are riding the wave as a couple, with of course MANY firsts together. Nothing changes, I’m a mother,” Sophie explained.

“She is my wonderful, supportive partner who is committed to loving all my children and me completely.

‘A level of involvement with my children that I have not experienced before, so it is all very new for me to let down all the walls.’

Since her 2019 split from Jaryd, Sophie has had several back-to-back romances with high-profile sportswomen before finding love with Maddy.

She first dated Matildas footballer Alanna Kennedy before briefly becoming engaged to WNBL star Maddie Garrick.

She then had a year-long romance with Sophie Van De Heuvel, who is friends with her current girlfriend Maddy as they both play for Essendon football club.

Maddy has not appeared in one-on-one posts in Van De Heuvel’s feed since December last year, before her relationship with Sophie ended.
