South Sydney rugby league star Jack Wighton received a very special Christmas delivery late on Monday night when his wife Monisha gave birth to their fourth child.
The precious baby boy, Kove, was born less than an hour before Christmas Eve, making a perfect early gift for the whole family.
They announced the new arrival to the world on Instagram, with Monisha writing that Kove was “the best gift I could ask for in this life.”
Country singer Chris Stapleton’s song “Billionaire” played along with the upbeat social media post.
This was followed late last night when the 31-year-old Rabbitohs center told his 107,000 online followers how much he loves Monisha.
“My mother was a real soldier yesterday,” he wrote. “I couldn’t be more proud to be your husband and you to be the mother of my children.”

However, Wighton suggested this could be their last child, calling Kove the “final piece of the puzzle.”
Their other children Aaliyah, Ariah and Kayce joined their ecstatic parents at the hospital to welcome the newest member of their family.
Everyone spent Christmas morning at home, but the proud dad probably won’t go overboard with turkey and ham.
He will return to training with his fellow Souths players in the coming weeks to prepare for the 2025 NRL season.
